The two Spains

Francisco de Goya's black painting Fight with Cudgels can be seen as a premonition of the civil wars of Spain.

The two Spains (Spanish: las dos Españas) is a phrase from a short 1912 poem by Spanish poet Antonio Machado, used to describe the fundamental political cleavages that have divided Spanish nationalist thought since the Napoleonic Wars.
