Summary
This audiobook traces Spain's development from prehistoric times to the present, focusing particularly on culture, society, politics, and personalities. It introduces listeners to key themes that have shaped Spain's history and culture, including its varied landscapes and climates; the impact of waves of diverse human migrations; the importance of its location as a bridge between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean and Europe and Africa; and religion, particularly militant Catholic Christianity and its centuries of conflict with Islam and Protestantism, as well as debates over the place of the Church in modern Spain.

Should be titled a concise history of Spain’s royal families
Very well read and researched, but a ve y strong emphasis on the lives and machinations of the Spanish royals, would love to know more about what life was like for ordinary people. Still it’s a good listen, and I would recommend it, where can I find a Concise People’s History of Spain?

Fascinating and well-written
A really fascinating history of Spain, covering a broad range of time periods, I found this really engrossing. The authors explained complex situations and characters really effectively, and the narration was excellent. I was new to Spanish history and felt that I learned a lot from this, and was able to join the dots with snippets I had heard of but was unable to contextualise.
