Castilian and its rich culture

That Spanish is so popular abroad is not only thanks to its history, but also to its culture. Its nickname ” Cervantes language ” indicates the cultural richness of the country , since Cervantes is the most recognized writer of Spanish literature.

Literature is undoubtedly one of the most important vectors of the cultural development of Spanish. Lope de Vega, Bécquer, García Lorca … Who does not know these Spanish authors?

Abroad, both the works and the reputation of these authors have allowed Spanish literature to be read all over the world . The simple act of writing in Spanish has a special meaning abroad. In fact, Spanish writers transmit a cultural message linked to their history, which has made Spanish novelists internationally recognized.

The Spanish language has also become popular thanks to the cinema, since Spanish cinema is very successful abroad . We can cite, for example, the film Todo sobre mi madre , which won the Oscar for best foreign-language film, or filmmakers such as Javier Bardem, Penélope Cruz and Antonio Banderas, internationally recognized actors who have worked with many famous artists.

Finally, our language is also made known through music . The songs in Spanish by international singers such as Shakira, Enrique Iglesias or Ricky Martin have helped to promote our language.

In conclusion, Spain has a rich culture, so do not hesitate to use it to teach our language in a more fun way! Castilian and its rich culture
