Love and the Spanish is a captivating work of cultural anthropology and social history that chronicles the unique attitudes, rituals, and passions surrounding love and romance in Spanish society. Nina Epton draws on extensive research and personal observation to present an intimate and authoritative portrait of how Spaniards court, marry, and express devotion across different regions and eras. Written with warmth and wit, the narrative illuminates the deep influence of religion, tradition, and national character on Spanish romantic life. Epton details customs ranging from the elaborate courtship dances of Andalusia to the fierce family loyalties of the Basque country, illustrating the extraordinary diversity hidden beneath a seemingly unified culture. The result is an engaging and richly textured study that reveals love as both a private passion and a defining force in Spanish civilisation.
