  • Report Name:Spanish Wine Sector Update
    Voluntary Report – Voluntary - Public Distribution Date: June 28, 2020 Report Number: SP2020-0025 Report Name: Spanish Wine Sector Update Country: Spain Post: Madrid Report Category: Wine Prepared By: Carmen Valverde Approved By: Jennifer Clever Report Highlights: During the first quarter of 2020, Spanish data shows a significant drop in wine sales to the domestic and international markets. The drop in Spanish wine sales is primarily due to the closure of the hospitality and tourism sectors in response to the COVID-19 crisis. Average prices for Spanish wine are also expected to decline. The Ministry of Agriculture implemented a set of extraordinary measures to alleviate the pandemic’s negative impact on the Spanish wine sector and to avoid a surplus of wine during the upcoming season. With the end of the Spanish State of Alarm and the reopening of nonessential activities, Spanish industry observers expect the wine sector to rebound. THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY General information According to EU official data, in 2019/20, Spain produced 38,100 thousand hectoliters (HL) of wine including grape must, a 23 percent drop from the previous market year and 11 percent below the five- year average. The planted area to vineyards stood at around 902,000 hectares, a two percent decline from the previous period and 1.7 percent below the five-year average. Spain leads the area planted with organic vineyards in the EU with 113,412 hectares. There are about 4,300 wineries in Spain, 75 percent of which are export oriented.

  • ABSTRACT Literary Critique of Female Identity Under Spain's
    ABSTRACT Literary Critique of Female Identity under Spain’s Francoist Dictatorship in Nada and Entre visillos Julia Castillo Director: Frieda Blackwell, Ph. D. Two works by female authors during the Francoist dictatorship in Spain––Nada, published in 1945, and Entre visillos, published in 1957––use double discourse to critique society through their expression of female identity. Carmen Laforet and Carmen Martín Gaite worked past censorship to articulate an alternate vision of female identity formation to the policies of the Francoist dictatorship which articulated a limited role for women. The framework offered by these books’ historical and literary contexts allows for a detailed analysis of each work individually. Andrea, the main character of Nada, discovers her identity during a tumultuous year with her family in Barcelona, its description shaped by the tremendismo literary movement. Entre visillos, published in the next decade, uses the technique of neorealismo to portray the lives of various young women and men in a provincial capital, with the character Natalia playing a critical role. As each book is an example of the bildüngsroman, identity formation is paramount. Nada and Entre visillos, through their different time periods and literary styles, present their female characters’ struggles to develop their own identities in a repressive society.

  • Foreign Correspondents in Francoist Spain
    Foreign correspondents in Francoist Spain (1945-1975) Tobias Reckling This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Portsmouth. March 2016 1 Abstract This thesis will examine the foreign press corps in Francoist Spain from 1945 until 1975. After the end of the Second World War, the Franco regime was internationally isolated as a result of its ties with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. However, the dictatorship returned to the international stage during the 1950s and managed to survive on the margins of the Cold War world order until the death of Franco in 1975. Throughout these 30 years and while never loosening its dictatorial control over Spain, the Franco regime continuously tried to improve its international position and image beyond mere toleration. Foreign correspondents were working at the centre of this balancing act. Against this backdrop, this thesis has two central aims. First, it will examine the regime’s policy towards the foreign press. The thesis will show that the Francoist authorities never fully accepted the foreign press corps’ work within Spain and tried to exercise control over the foreign press corps until the end of the regime. Throughout the regime’s internal and external development, however, the Francoist authorities adapted the means they employed. At the same time, conflicting interests and strategies within the Franco regime shaped its policy towards the foreign press. This thesis will further show that conflicts with correspondents partially had their roots in the importance of the foreign press, distributed within Spain, for the Spanish public in general and the political opposition in particular.

  • Andalusia Spain Culinaria with European Art Curator Ronni Baer & Chef Deborah Hansen November 12 –19, 2017 • Granada & Seville, Spain Granada
    Andalusia Spain Culinaria with European Art Curator Ronni Baer & Chef Deborah Hansen November 12 –19, 2017 • Granada & Seville, Spain Granada Beyond the magnificent Moorish Alhambra, visitors will find a distinctive cuisine and a charming city that was once home to celebrated writers and artists. Like Agra, India, and the Taj Mahal, the Andalusian city of Granada in southern Spain is so well known for a single monument—the Alhambra, a walled fortress housing magnificent 13th- to 15th-century Moorish palaces and gardens—that the city itself is sometimes overlooked. With more than two million visitors descending on the Alhambra, a Unesco World Heritage site, every year, the city’s tourism industry had settled into a somewhat formulaic routine of shuttling visitors in and out of the city in about 24 hours. But recently, some other ancient structures have been restored, and the region’s distinc- tive gastronomy has come into its own. The city that was home to the poet Federico García Lorca, the painter José Guerrero, and the composer Manuel de Falla has deep cultural roots, but now a new crop of small foundations and independent exhibition spaces has revived its arty buzz. Let the Alhambra wait a bit while getting seduced by the city that has grown up around it. Andrew Ferren New York Times (August 10, 2017) Granada seems to specialize in evocative history and good liv- ing. Settle down in the old center and explore monuments of the Moorish civilization and its conquest. Taste the treats of a North African-flavored culture that survives here today.

    CORTÉS AFTER THE CONQUEST OF MEXICO: CONSTRUCTING LEGACY IN NEW SPAIN By RANDALL RAY LOUDAMY Bachelor of Arts Midwestern State University Wichita Falls, Texas 2003 Master of Arts Midwestern State University Wichita Falls, Texas 2007 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December, 2013 CORTÉS AFTER THE CONQUEST OF MEXICO: CONSTRUCTING LEGACY IN NEW SPAIN Dissertation Approved: Dr. David D’Andrea Dissertation Adviser Dr. Michael Smith Dr. Joseph Byrnes Dr. James Cooper Dr. Cristina Cruz González ii Name: Randall Ray Loudamy Date of Degree: DECEMBER, 2013 Title of Study: CORTÉS AFTER THE CONQUEST OF MEXICO: CONSTRUCTING LEGACY IN NEW SPAIN Major Field: History Abstract: This dissertation examines an important yet woefully understudied aspect of Hernán Cortés after the conquest of Mexico. The Marquisate of the Valley of Oaxaca was carefully constructed during his lifetime to be his lasting legacy in New Spain. The goal of this dissertation is to reexamine published primary sources in light of this new argument and integrate unknown archival material to trace the development of a lasting legacy by Cortés and his direct heirs in Spanish colonial Mexico. Part one looks at Cortés’s life after the conquest of Mexico, giving particular attention to the themes of fame and honor and how these ideas guided his actions. The importance of land and property in and after the conquest is also highlighted. Part two is an examination of the marquisate, discussing the key features of the various landholdings and also their importance to the legacy Cortés sought to construct.
