Yes Diksha,
I'd like to know a few things, Spanish history seems quite complicated - a LOT of civil wars, Carlists, first Republic, second Republic etc. Maybe you can precis the history for us since (say) 1800?
Thank you in advance!

Hey there hangoverocks :)

So you will not get a reply from her as she is no expert in Spain. I do recomend that you start a new topic off and members will surely reposnd to it, as this was just for fun.
