We have a number of very interesting interviews about books on Spain. Journalist and broadcaster Jason Webster chooses his best books on the country, choosing a diverse range of books, including a 12th-century adventure story from Moorish Spain, the film-maker Luis Bunuel’s autobiography, works by Fredrico Garcia Lorca and the Spanish Second World War double-agent, Juan Pujol. Across all of these he detects a unifying, very Spanish, irrational or surrealist imagination.

Meanwhile Paul Preston, historian and biographer of Franco, chooses his best books on the Spanish Civil War, including books dedicated to Guernica and the mysterious death of Fredrico Lorca, as well as more general surveys of the conflict. The cook, Samantha Clark, talks about her love of Spanish and Moorish cooking and how the fusion of the two inspired her London restaurant, Moro. And Benny Lewis, a polyglot who runs the website Fluent in 3 Months, chooses his best books on learning Spanish.

There are plenty of other interviews and books that touch on Spain and Spanish themes elsewhere on the site, for instance, George Orwell's Homage to Catalonia and Hemmingway's works or that relate to well known Spaniards, such as the artists Pablo Picasso and Goya.

The Spanish literature canon includes "the greatest novel of the European tradition" Don Quixote and poetry by Federico García Lorca. For more contemporary literature we have the best Catalan fiction.
