On October 28, 1982, Spain holds its first general election after the death of dictator Francisco Franco in 1975. The Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) wins, and Felipe González becomes Prime Minister. On the first day of 1986, Spain joins the European Economic Community, along with Portugal.

Spain’s Barcelona hosts the 1992 Summer Olympics.

On March 11, 2004, a series of coordinated bombings in Madrid's train system kills 193 people and injures more than 2,050. The attacks are attributed to Islamist militants. Later, Spain announces the withdrawal of his troops from Iraq.

On December 4, 2010, the first state of alarm was declared following the air traffic controllers strike. It lasted until January 16, 2011 and was the first time since the Francisco Franco's regime that a state of emergency was declared.

The region of Catalonia holds an independence referendum on October 1, 2017, which was deemed illegal by Spain. The referendum leads to a constitutional crisis and tensions between Madrid and Barcelona.

Spain gets infected with COVID-19 and imposes strict lockdown measures, with one of the highest infection rates in Europe. The economy suffers a severe downturn as a result. Spain also pardons nine Catalan leaders who were imprisoned for their roles in the 2017 independence bid, in an attempt to ease tensions in Catalonia.

Amigos (Friends)[edit | edit source]

  • Portugal - Best friend. Even if Portugal hates when I call him "Western Spain", he is still one of my closest brothers. He is always calm and relaxed; this must have some connection with the ocean (because he always sails from time to time). He helped me during the civil war and built a zip line that crosses our borders, therefore, we are very close. In addition, we tried to dominate the world together once.
  • Canada - Has been my best friend for centuries. I salute them with poutines. Always welcome to come here!
