Spain
Spain is a country of 47 million people in southwestern Europe, on the Iberian Peninsula. The main language of Spain is, unsurprisingly, Spanish but there are also a number of regional languages with official status in their respective areas, including Catalan, Galician and Basque. I wrote my honours thesis about children’s experience of the Spanish Civil War in Barcelona, and the way the war was remembered during and after the Franco dictatorship.
