Spanish NYC dispersed after the Spanish-American War of 1898.
Spanish people and culture are pretty cool. The language has a natural poetry in it. Spain is famous for its art, architecture, food, Flamenco and soccer.
Spain was a colonizer, but one good thing the Spanish did was allow interracial marriage. That led to the “browning” of the Americas and us, the people we now call Latin.

The Tip of the Spear
Europe is not physically a continent. It’s actually a peninsula of the EurAsian land mass, and Spain is its tip. Only nine miles separate Spain from Africa. People and culture have always traveled in both directions. Part of the great beauty of Spain is this multicultural mix. And the Spanish church allowed races to intermarry.
In the States, we are taught that the Roman Empire and the Italian Renaissance were key forces in the development of European culture. There was one more culture that was equally brilliant and important, but is not taught in the USA. From 711-1492, Islamic Spain, Al-Andalus, was one of the most advanced civilizations of its time and generated many scientific advances that benefit us today.
We love our Spanish cultural heritage, but the Spanish Colonial Period from 1492 to 1898 was essentially World War Zero. The Spanish Inquisition, and the colonizer’s thievery, rape, human slavery and murder are inexcusable – and not to be forgotten. Nor are the years of the Franco dictatorship (1939-1975) which were fueled by Catholic Nationalism. That wasn’t so long ago. It’s a warning about what happens when religious forces take political power. Nunca más.

20th Flamenco Festival NYC 2022
Returns to New York City Center
The 20th Flamenco Festival NYC 2022 with Mañuel Liñán and a Gala Flamenca is at New York City Center in Midtown, Fri-Sun, Apr 22-24. From $35. nycitycenter.org 🇪🇸
“Viva!” is Flamenco in Drag with Manuel Liñán and six men performing as women. In Spain, Flamenco is a very traditional community, so for Spain this is wild. But the men can really dance. It’s great to feel the joy of being whoever you want to be.
Gala Flamenca is an exquisite taste of the many flavors of Spanish Flamenco. Mercedes Ruiz is known for her virtuosity. Eduardo Guerrero is loved for his wild solos. María Moreno dances the traditional Flamenco of Cádiz. María Terremoto is a rising star, the youngest winner of the Giraldillo Award for New Artists at the Seville Flamenco Biennial which is one of the world’s most respected Flamenco festivals.
In the past, present, and future of Flamenco, there is something for everyone at New York City Center. ¡Olé!

Spanish New York City
NYC’s “Little Spain” used to be on 14th St between Eighth and Ninth Avenues. La Nacional social club for is the only remnant.
Other Spanish social clubs in NYC include Centro Español de Queens and Casa Galicia, both in Astoria.
Mercado Little Spain by Chef Jose Andres in Hudson Yards is a delicious collection of charming Spanish food kiosks in Hudson Yards. It’s a great eating, drinking and dating place that will make you want to live in Spain. Goya Foods in New Jersey, the largest Hispanic business in the United States, is Spanish via Puerto Rico (which was Spain until 1898).
Instituto Cervantes is the New York outpost of the global Spanish-language school funded by the Spanish government. It houses NYC’s largest Spanish-language library and hosts many Hispanic culture events.
The Hispanic Society research library and museum has the best collection of Spanish art outside of Spain. The King Juan Carlos Center at NYU studies and promotes Hispanic literature.
Spanish fashion is represented by Zara, Desigual and Camper. The high end includes Balenciaga and Manolo Blahnik. Agatha Ruiz de la Prada shows every season at the FDLA, Fashion Designers of Latin America shows during Fashion Week.
There are many flamenco schools. Noche Flamenca and Flamenco Vivo used to be the main ones, but now there are several good ones.
The World Trade Center Oculus was designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava.
It’s worth remembering that Cuba was Spain until 1898, so many things Cuban in NYC were once Spanish.
Repertorio Español, NYC’s Spanish-language repertory theater was founded by Cubans. Thalia Spanish Theatre in Sunnyside, Queens is run by a Spanish director.

“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.
King Juan Carlos Center at NYU in Greenwich Village is a Spanish-language literary center.
Spanish Culture
The Spanish language, Roman Catholicism, flamenco, paella, tapas, Serrano ham, red wine and sangria are all 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!
