Revised and expanded, and packed with essential information on politics, economy, and institutions, it covers the basics that are taken for granted by most Spaniards. This new edition includes recent events such as the 2004 Madrid bombings and the subsequent election of a socialist government, ETA's 2006 cease-fire and its later revocation, and the country's recent economic success. Each chapter also contains a Spanish-English glossary giving guidance on the use of specialist terms in context. This handbook is invaluable for all those with a wish to learn more about Spain, its language, and its people.
