“Little Spain” used to be on 14th Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues. Spaniards would disembark from ships on the West Side piers and walk over to La Nacional, the Spanish social club, to find comfort, housing and jobs. La Nacional is still there, but Little Spain declined after the Spanish-American War of 1898.
“Spanish Harlem” wasn’t actually Spanish. It became Puerto Rican after Puerto Ricans became American citizens during World War I.
Hispanic Society in Washington Heights is a research library and museum that holds the most important collection of Spanish art outside of Spain.
Instituto Cervantes is a global language-school and cultural center funded by the government of Spain.

Spanish Culture
We are known for flamenco, art and architecture, fashion, and soccer. Spain’s colonial legacy is a language, a religion, a culture and a medieval social-political-economic system.
Spanish culture, a beautiful culture, is part of our heritage, even in the United States. What makes it so beautiful is that “pure” Spanish culture is already a mix. The Pillars of Hercules are one end of one Europe/Asia/Africa. Spain is a blend of European, African and Asian peoples. It’s a mix of Christian, Jewish, Muslim and African religions. When people come together, there is nothing we can’t do. ¡Vamos!
