Spanish tradition

Peninsula's cultural practice

A Spanish tradition refers to a custom, practice, or cultural element originating in or associated with Spain—flamenco dancing, bullfighting, the siesta, or tapas culture.

The phrase often appears when distinguishing Spanish customs from those of other Hispanic or Latin American countries: La Tomatina is a Spanish tradition dating to the 1940s.
