Curiosidades sobre los apellidos en España/ Curiosities about surnames in Spain

from Hablando Claro · host Clara Arnuncio

Spain is a strange country in many ways, one of which is the use of surnames. Along with Portugal, it is the only European country where, traditionally, a woman does not lose her surname when she marries. It is changing in many countries now, but the interesting thing is that in Spain women have always kept their surname. This means that my grandmother, my great-grandmother and even my great-grandmother's mother kept their surnames from birth to death, even when they were married. This has been the case since the XVIth century, when the official use of two surnames was introduced, first in Castile and then in the whole of the Iberian Peninsula. I'll be talking about this and other surname curiosities in the new episode of the podcast, click on play, it's really interesting! And before I say goodbye, if you have never tried our classes and you are thinking of improving your Spanish, you can do it in December for half a month.
