Spanish folklore
Peninsula's traditional tales
Spanish folklore encompasses the traditional beliefs, customs, legends, music, and practices passed down through generations in Spain and Spanish-speaking cultures.
It includes flamenco, bullfighting traditions, regional festivals, and tales of figures like Don Juan and La Llorona.
The term covers both peninsular Spanish traditions and those that developed in Latin America after colonization, where indigenous and African elements blended with Spanish customs.
