Juan Carlos I (hwän kär'lōs) , 1938–, king of Spain (1975–), b. Rome. The grandson of Alfonso XIII, he was educated in Switzerland and in Spain. Placed by his father, Don Juan de Borbón, under the care of Francisco Franco as a possible successor, he graduated from Spain's three military academies and received commissions in the army, navy, and air force; he also did graduate work at the Univ. of Madrid and served apprenticeships in many government departments. He married Princess Sophia of Greece in 1962; they have three children. In 1969 he was designated heir to the throne and Franco's successor. After Franco's death in 1975, he became the first Spanish king since his grandfather was deposed in 1931. A popular monarch, he presided over Spain's transition to democracy with intelligence and sensitivity. He has acted decisively to maintain political stability in Spain, as in choosing Adolfo Suárez as premier in 1976, foiling a right-wing military coup in 1981, and handling a scandal involving anti-Basque death squads in the mid-1990s.

The Spanish culture has roots in Iberian and Latin influences, Roman Catholicism, Moorish Islam, and an ongoing tension between the centralized state (dominated in recent centuries by Castile) and numerous regions and minority peoples. In addition, the history of the nation and its Mediterranean climate and geography have played strong roles in shaping its culture.

From the typical music of bagpipes echoing throughout the northern region of Galicia to the feisty strumming of the flamenco guitar in Andalucía, Spanish music is truly one of the high points of Spain’s resplendent culture. Traditional music spanning centuries along with popular singers tearing up the charts today put Spanish music in a category of its own.

It truly takes a trip to Spain to grasp just how important Spanish dance is to this dynamic country’s culture. From time-honored traditional dances hailing from Spain’s numerous regions to the sensational gypsy-bred flamenco, Spanish dance is every bit as fascinating and diverse as the country itself
