The film presents the history of Spain after the death of Queen Isabel I de Castilla , showing the struggle for authority between her husband, King Fernando de Aragón and her son-in-law, Duke of Burgundy Felipe el Hermoso . The movie also shows the unfortunate fate of the controversial daughter of Isabel, Juana la Loca , who should be the successor to her mother, but her father and husband would not let her become the ruler of the kingdom.

Spanish affair 2, movie Today I'm going to introduce a comedy from 2015 called " Ocho apellidos catalanes ". It's a sequel to the movie " Ocho apellidos vascos ", which I have talked about in my previous posts. Fans of the comedy can follow the fate of the characters from the first part of the movie. The second part is not such a great comedy as the previous one, but after all, it's worth seeing how the fates of the heroes went.  The plot: Amaia (Clara Lago) after breaking with Rafa (Dani Rovira) falls in love with a Catalan named Pau (Berto Romero). Koldo (Karra Elejalde), her father, decides to draw his daughter away from the idea of ​​marrying a new boy. To do so, he goes to Seville and persuades his daughter's former partner to return and make her fall in love again. In the company of Rafa's mother, Merche (Carmen Machi), he appears in Catalonia a few days before the planned ceremony. I highly recommend this movie!

The Alhambra, the palace of the kings of Granada, a symbol of the splendor of past eras, for...
