Music Art And Spanish music is very rich and diverse, and with Oriental color, enthusiastic. Defaya is the most representative composer of modern Spain. His music reflects the most colorful side of Spanish music. His works maintain the tradition of Romanticism and nationalism, and have the characteristics of impressionism. The 1915 suite for piano and orchestra, Nights in the Spanish Garden, is one of the author’s few masterpieces. The theme of the music is based on Spanish folk music, showing the effects of the country’s unique instruments (rhythm, tuning, decorative tone, etc.). The author thinks that this music is some “symphonic impression”, and the musical characteristics include melancholy and mystery in addition to jubilation.

Wine Culture Spanish wine is an old world neglected by the rest of the world, especially by many Chinese people. If it were not for the relatively cheap Torres wine sold in China, perhaps Spanish wine would not be mentioned. After all, Spain ranks third in the world in terms of wine production and has a lot of excellent quality wines. What’s more, it is fortunate that it is not like French wine that gets a lot of attention from the world, nor like California wine, which has been promoted and hyped by professional media, and we can also get more affordable prices. With the exception of rare cases such as the “UNICO” from Vega Sicilia.

The history of grape cultivation in Spain dates back to about 4000 BC. In 1100 BC, the Phoenicians began to make wine from grapes. But the history of Spanish wine doesn’t have any glory to show for it. It wasn’t until 1868, when French vineyards were devastated by rhizoma aphids, that many French winemakers, mostly from Bordeaux, came to Rioja, Spain, bringing their skills and experience with them, that Spanish wine took off. During this time, French vineyards were largely eradicated and a considerable amount of wine was imported from Spain because of the wine shortage.

The lunch time is usually between 13:00 and 15:30. Before the meal, people usually drink some aperitif, accompanied by dried fruit, ham, cheese, potato omelette, fried small fish, etc. The first dish of lunch is usually vegetables or soup, and the main course is fish or meat. After dessert, Spanish people have the habit of smoking cigars and drinking wine after dinner.

Dinner time is usually between 20:30 and 23:00, some restaurants open at 21:00. Dinner was light compared to lunch, but very hearty. In addition, some Spaniards have the habit of eating dim sum between 10:30 and 11:00 and around 18:00.
