Bulls and the flamenco... the Hollywood Atlas version of Iberian countries (mostly Spain with possible addition of elements from Portugal, Andorra, Gibraltar and southern France). You know, that place where all the women dress in tiered skirts, and all the males in chaqué, where the landscape consists of mountains, red dry hills and beaches, and every night (because there's siesta all day anyway) passionate Tall, Dark, and Handsome toreadors with roses in their teeth escape from stampeding bulls while playing guitars, and equally passionate Spicy Latina Gypsies with roses in their hair, daggers in their garters and fans in their hands throw oranges at them while dancing flamenco. ¡Olé! If you don't know why this trope fails that much at Geography, you should know that the Running of the Bulls (celebrated on the week beginning the 7th of July on the day know as "San Fermín" and ending on the midnight of the 14th of July) is celebrated only in Pamplona. The "Feria de Abril" (April Fair) where women actually dress with tiered spotted skirts and men wear chaqués is celebrated only in Seville. The distance between those cities is over 600 miles, the former being at the north, and the latter being at the south.note And bullfight tradition is not extended the same way across all Spain. On its northernmost regions is usually less or even far less extended than in central or southern Spain, even if you can find plenty of bovines there - for their milk and meat. Not to mention that younger generations tend to either ignore or vilify the practice and see it as outright animal cruelty due to it involving slowly killing the bull in most cases. The running of the bulls tends to be much more accepted though, as unlike bullfighting it doesn't involve the death of the bulls. Yet in fiction, both seem to happen at the same time and place. Also, Spain is not all dry semi-desert — the northern strip between Catalonia and Galice is mostly standard European temperate forest. Additionally, the Running is often portrayed as featuring hundreds of bulls on a murderous stampede. In Real Life, though, there's generally no more than fifteen bulls, released in groups of four to six, and they're often surrounded by a larger crowd of people, including a group running around them to keep them following the right path. Bonus points if the work even decides to portray the correct path they follow, or simply has them rampaging freely through any of the city's streets and wreaking havoc. Meanwhile, the music department will invariably and uniformly consist of Flamenco, or something aiming to sound like Flamenco, with Spanish guitar, castanets, tap-dancing and "deep song". In Real Life, this music style originated in Andalusia and the city of Seville in particular. Elsewhere in Spain, it is practically a niche genre associated with Roma peoplenote Almost half of Spain's Roma live in Andalusia and Andalusian immigrants and their descendants. Also, this Iberian country is always Spain. Portugal? What's a Portugal? Toros Y Flamenco is one of the most popular origin countries for a Latin Lover. See also Latin Land, which shares many elements with this trope, due to strong historical and cultural ties between Iberia and South American countries, and Spaghetti and Gondolas and Ruritania, for the stereotypical versions of the other parts of Southern Europe. Sometimes confused or amalgamated (by hack authors) with South of the Border into Spexico due to the same strong historical and cultural ties plus the similar climate. The association of bulls with these countries falls under National Animal Stereotypes. Sometimes coincides with It's Always Mardi Gras in New Orleans, when a visit to Pamplona (or any other town in Iberia if the author is particularly lazy) is destined to happen exactly on the week of the Running of the Bulls. In Real Life Spain this trope is known as una españoladanote Which is "Spanish", plus the the suffix -ada ("español" + "ada"). This is the normal construction in Spain for referring to national stereotypes in general. For example, for referring to American stereotypes, it would be "americanada" ("americano" + "ada"). or the even more derogatory España de pandereta ("Tambourine Spain").note Which is also used in debate to criticize the social and/or politic ordeals associated with Spanish culture. |

The first time Alias went to Spain ("Parity"/"A Broken Heart") was pretty jarring. Sydney infiltrates a Madrid mansion by posing as a party guest with a long, dyed red mane, long, revealing red dress, a black and red fan and an explosive disguised in a 5 pesetas coin (from the 1980s... two years after Spain switched to Euro). She uses the explosive to cause a distraction and steals a Medieval codex from a security room, whose information sends her to a Baroque church in Malaga. All while a Flamenco-inspired version of One-Woman Wail thunders in the background. They wished up a bit in later seasons, either keeping the stereotypes in the places they are actually from (a Flamenco show in Seville, an expat's country villa somewhere in Andalusia, a nightclub in Ibiza) or making the Spanish locations so generic they could be anywhere (a dock, a hotel, a bio-weapons research lab...). | |

In The One (2021), Grace is surprised to learn that two Spanish women in their 30s are married because she "thought the Catholics weren't down with the lesbians". Spain legalized gay marriage in 2005 and has one of the highest acceptances of homosexuality in Europe. The One came out in 2021 and is set in The Future. | |

In the E-Ring episode "The General", the stock establishing shots of Madrid are interspersed with statutes of Catholic saints and the music consists of Spanish guitar and tap-dancing-like sounds despite the case being about an American general kidnapped by Basque terrorists in Madrid. This general is (inexplicably) held in an apartment next to the M30 motorway that looks like a pre-industrial farmstead from the inside. | |

Tom Cruise does it again in Knight and Day, with running of the bulls scenes shot in scenic Seville, which neither honors San Fermín nor has a running of the bulls (and is in the other point of Spain from the location in which they are ran). Most of the sequences were shot in Cádiz, making even more misplaced visually. | |

The episode "Barcelona, May 1917" of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. Curious case as it was written, directed and starred mostly by British people, and in turn features a lot of British stereotypes about Spain instead of American ones: paella, Cordobese hats, a duel at a bullring, a small jealous husband with moustache and an omnipresent bullfight tune every 5 minutes. Oh, and once the cheating is revealed to be a forgery, the small jealous husband decides to share a drink with the guy that he was going to kill a second before. ¡Fiesta! | |

Largely averted in The Simpsons. The one episode where bullfighting is a plot point ("Million Dollar Abie") is because the Old Hispanic Guy convinces Springfield to transform the local football stadium into a bullring, and Spain is not mentioned once (though the last scene is a clear Shout-Out to the Running of the Bulls). The chairman of the IOC in "The Old Man and the C Student" is never said to be from any country, but he is a tan Caucasian with black hair and beard and speaks in a Castilian accent. When the stereotypical French Jerk representative throws wine at him, he throws wine back. At the time the episode was first aired, the position had been occupied for almost 20 years by Juan Antonio Samaranch (who looked nothing like the guy). In "Waverly Hills, 9-0-2-1-D'oh" Homer and Marge go to a Tapas bar (with a sign reading "Not how the Spanish really eat" over the door). Marge defines eating tapas as "waiting for a meal that never arrives." The Couch Gag in "You Don't Have to Live Like a Referee" has the family running from a couch stampede through the streets of Pamplona, complete with San Fermín kits. In "YOLO", Homer gets again in touch with his childhood penpal — Eduardo from Barcelona. He read Homer's letters while sitting in one of the very bell towers of the Sagrada Familia and sent Homer a photo of himself dressed as a bullfighter. He speaks in a Castilian accent (a Catalan one was probably asking too much) and is religious but also a womanizer ("Eight wives, two hundred children!"). He also takes Homer to Springfield Tapas ("Formerly Chintzy's Small Portions", perhaps the reason there is a picture of two tacos on the wall) and his scenes are accompanied by guitar and castanet music. Bart, being the poster child of the Book Dumb trope including Global Ignorance, believes that Toronto is in Spain. |

The Jackal's Love Interest is a female Basque terrorist with the very Italian name Isabella Celia Zancona (or Zanconia). When she is introduced to Koslova, she replies "She is Basque, isn't she? They say Basques live by the vendetta. If they hate someone, it's to the death. It's the same way when they love." Paraphrasing a Spanish critic, "At this point a woman in the audience, probably Basque, uttered a loud "Menuda CHO-RRA-DA"."note "What BULL-SHIT" | |

Discussed and lampshaded in Spanish film Death of a Cyclist. Rafa is playing the piano, helping entertain visiting American investors. He's asked what's next, and he snarks (in Spanish), that it'll be something "Spanish" like "Olé olé torero." Sure enough, the next scene shows a flamenco dancer with a mariachi band entertaining the Yankees. | |

An episode of the classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon features the Running of the Bulls... in Lisbon. Which of course, looks like your stereotypical Spanish town, apart from the mentions of them being in Portugal. Of note is the Running of the Bulls being interrupted by people carrying Holy Week Pasos, except they have bull and matador figures instead of saints; the fact that there seems to be a treeless desert outside of "Lisbon", and that the cathedral and bullring look like dead-ringers for Madrid's La Almudena and Las Ventas, respectively. |

Empty Nest: In "Harry's Excellent Adventure", Harry travels with his brother to Pamplona for the Running of the Bulls. They hang in a very narrow and typically Mediterranean whitewashed alley, drinking tequila, until the bull herd suddenly runs on them unnanounced and they have to flee. On the wall behind there is a poster announcing a corrida with Gitanillo de Triana and Manolete, two bullfighters who died on the arena in 1931 and 1947, respectively. | |

The episode "Faux Fox" of Relic Hunter has Sydney and Nigel in a rush to meet a professor in a Spanish university because according to them, siesta time will begin in 20 minutes and then the whole country will start napping. Despite actually being shot in location around Seville, the scenes of Sydney and Nigel travelling to Seville were shot in a 19th century tourist steam train. In real life they would have either flown directly to Seville, or to Madrid and then taken the high-speed train to Seville, but God forbid 21st century Spain being shown as being in the 21st century. The reason the Spanish Crown Jewels got lost in the first place? The courier carrying the instructions to locate them was killed by a jealous Andalusian innkeeper after he caught him sleeping with his wife. |

Discworld: Turns up, complete with running of the bulls, in Witches Abroad. Unfortunately the whole thing is misunderstood by the witches, and after the sight of a small blonde woman walking right through the crowd of bulls as though being trampled to death is something that happens to other people and taking the wreath off the lead bull, the townsfolk decide just to have a flower festival instead. Earlier books sometimes mention the "Quirmian bullfighting dance". Since Quirm is "generic Romance country" and usually closer to being France, there's some confusion as to why the dancers shout "With milk!" ("au lait".) |

The Da Vinci Code describes Oviedo, the historical capital of the Kingdom of Asturias, as a village where missionaries build churches with their own hands. The only Spanish character in the novel is one such missionary, who is of course also a member of Opus Dei intending to keep The Masquerade by all the means possible. Real Life Oviedo, by the way, is very different. | |

In the Grand Theft Auto knock-off Wheelman, set in Barcelona and starring Vin Diesel, Vin's contact in the "Catalan underworld" is a skilled thief moonlighting as a Flamenco dancer for no seeming reason than the fact that she's Spanish. She looks very much like a Hot Gypsy Woman stereotype, which would have some verosimilitude, but it is unknown if this was the developers' intention or they were going for a Spicy Latina. There is also Flamenco-inspired music, a couple of missions in the bullring La Monumental (although it's closed down for reform in the game), and Vin drives a tanker truck brand "Toro de Lidia" at one point. | |

In an episode of Jackie Chan Adventures, the bad guys tail Jackie to Pamplona, and end up getting caught up in the Running of the Bulls. Everyone has to run for it except the Shendu-possessed Valmont, who the animals avoid like water around a rock. | |

In the Season 5 premiere "Dishpan Man", The A-Team is tasked to solve a hostage crisis by unspecified terrorists in Barcelona's airport. The episode avoids the most full-blown version of the trope if only because it is painfully obvious that it was filmed in the same California location as any other episode, and with the very same props to boot. Nevertheless, the area still seems devoid of any civilization and the A-Team saves the day by using practical effects to create fog, which is treated as something shocking that never happens in the area◊ because the climate is "too warm". The absurdity is topped in the third act by the terrorists' demanding to fly to Gavà, which is a town right next to the airport in real life. | |

Turns up, complete with running of the bulls, in Witches Abroad. Unfortunately the whole thing is misunderstood by the witches, and after the sight of a small blonde woman walking right through the crowd of bulls as though being trampled to death is something that happens to other people and taking the wreath off the lead bull, the townsfolk decide just to have a flower festival instead. | |

Mostly averted in Kujira no Josephina (Josephina The Whale). Since the series is based in a children's book by a Spanish writer, it depicts the Madrid of the years after World War II in a more realistic light - as possible as it can be through the eyes of a pre-teenager and his Imaginary Friend, of course. In fact, one of the most important episodes towards the end (when Santi meets his soon-to-be girlfriend Celia, takies the definitive steps towards teenagehood and leaves Josefina behind) takes place in El Escorial, an historical residence of Spanish royalty that is located in a town near Madrid. | |

There is a sequence taking place in this kind of Spain near the beginning of Mission: Impossible II, where they managed to mix Pamplona's Running of the Bulls with Seville's Easter processions, Valencia's Falles, and about any other Spanish cliché. Also, Anthony Hopkins tells Tom Cruise that "the people are burning the saints to worship them", which is completely false; the already mentioned Falles DO burn figures, but not of saints, and in Easter processions figures of saints are taken out, but NOT burned. | |

An interesting subversion happened in the Tekken movie, whose producers thought Miguel Caballero Rojo's street fighting style wasn't Spanish enough, so they changed it for a Basque martial art named Zipota. However, in real life Zipota is completely unknown in Spain and is widely considered to be a fraud made up by its Texan promoter. | |

Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! has the unforgettable Don Flamenco. Besides his name, this fighter likes to comment about everyone's hair, thinks he's very beautiful, dances flamenco (some dance the game designers thought looks like flamenco, anyway) with a rose between his teeth and has a girlfriend named Carmen. And the entrance music is from Bizet's opera — specifically, "The Toreador Song". The Wii game not only retains these characteristics, but adds to them by showing him in a bullfight during his intro cutscene, adding a rose print to his trunks, having him swear his love to Carmen nonstop during his fight, and gives him dialogue in actual Spanish (a trait shared with all other boxers from non-English speaking countries). | |

Surprisingly averted by Antonio aka Spain in Hetalia: Axis Powers; while there is official art with him in a matador costume, the traditional stereotypes about the country are barely touched (he is still depicted as a siesta lover, though) and his personality is less of a Latin Lover and more of a Nice Guy. However, in his drama CD released on December 8th 2010, the first verse mentions bullfighting and flamenco almost immediately. He is often associated with tomatoes, which is a trope in Japan because of the popularity of Buñol's annual tomato fight there. |

The level "Black Velvetopia" in Psychonauts which, in typical Tim Schafer absurdist style, combines Toros Y Flamenco with tacky black velvet paintings, neon &... high school gym class. Capped off with a Bullfight Boss battle, of course. Somewhat justified in that the level is not an actual place, but rather a representation of the mind of a Latin-American former wrestler with a combination of OCD, chronic depression and deep-seated insecurity issues relating to an incident in high school. | |

Fatal Fury has Laurence Blood, Krauser's Dragon and highly stereotypical bullfighter. His stage in 2 and Special is in the middle of a bullfighting arena in Barcelona, with a Pamplona-esque continuous stream of rushing bulls on the background preventing players from changing planes. Also to make sure we know it's Barcelona, the Sagrada Família Basilica can be seen just outside the arena in the distance. | |

The Spanish player in Hurricanes is named Toro Contrais. Though human, he has stereotypical bull-like attributes, being large, bulky, broad-chested, raven-haired and overconfident in the field, and he hails from Pamplona. In one episode he was expelled from the team and he made career as a luchador named "The Masked Matador". | |

Asterix in Spain plays with the trope. There are "aurochs" (bulls), and Asterix acts like a matador when he fights with one, but most of the setting is traditional roman cities, no much different than the ones in other comics. There is a band of gypsies and Obelix dances flamenco, however. Partly justified because Asterix is set in 50 B.C. (so it's not like making 21st century cities look like 18th century ones). Doesn't excuse the fact there are gyps... ahem, "nomads" and flamenco hundreds of years before any of them arrived in Spain (but then again, this is Asterix we are talking about).note Strabo and Roman sources like Juvenal or Pliny actually talk about the puellae gaditanae, women from Gades (today's Cádiz) or otherwise in the Baetica who were famous for their dances two centuries BC, even using metal castanets (crusmata baetica). We kid you not. | |

Daredevil: See this comic in which the hero participates in an illegal bullfight with lions (so... lionfight?..) Daredevil also fought a villain called the Matador very early in his career. This culminated in a battle DD won by butting the Matador with his horns. Matador's Start of Darkness is as priceless. He was once a corrupt matador that drugged bulls with sedatives hidden in banderillas because he was afraid of them. This ended when Bruce Banner witnessed it and turned into the Hulk ("The bull has no chance. This is not sport!"). After being exposed as a coward, Matador decided to exact revenge on mankind... by becoming a criminal in New York City. Uh? |

The episode "El Toro Bravo" of Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders, starting with the title itself. Two killers involved in the bullfighting business see themselves as a master and apprentice matador when they "bullfight" foreign tourists who disrespect the bulls or the festival itself during the Running of the Bulls of Pamplona. And the police can't catch the killers sooner because everyone in Spain is a sucker to the Catholic Church and old names, even after they have fallen in disgrace in the most nonsensical way possible. Throw in some bizarre references to Don Quixote and Basque nationalism, techno-Flamenco in the beginning and bullfighting-inspired music at the end, and more Spanish flags and 1950s Bull Run posters than you can hang on Westworld's Mexican village set, and you have your Spanish episode. | |

Played with in Hana no Ko Lunlun. Around four episodes of the series happen in Spain, but only one involves the toros y flamenco stereotype. (Another even takes place in a desertic area, which can be either Bardenas Reales, Monegros or Tabernas.) In a further subversion, Lunlun had to disguise herself as a bullfighter to save herself and her companions from a bull, instead of meeting/befriending/helping a matador. | |

At his debut in Tekken 6, Miguel Caballero Rojo, the Spanish representative in the King of Iron Fist Tournament, dressed in bullfighter-inspired attire. The resulting backlash over the blatant employment of a national stereotype (something Tekken usually doesn't rely on, unlike Street Fighter where it's part of the point) made Namco change his standard outfit in Tekken Tag Tournament 2, to something more akin to the street brawler he is. Miguel is canonically from Buñol, a popular tourist destination in Japan because of its annual tomato fight. Buñol is a figthing location in the games, with people throwing tomatoes at each other in the background while the players kick the snot out of each other. |

Caroline in the City: In "Caroline and the Secret", Richard and Julia throw a party before they begin an European vacation. The party is attended by "José", a not quite tall, but dark and handsome Spanish matador that pronounces his name like an American ('oh-SAY!!). In his debut scene, he makes several lewd coments about Julia to Richard, despite fully being aware that she is Richard's wife, and then introduces himself with "I'm 'oh-Saay. I fight the bull." Before the party is over, he is in Richard and Julia's bed having sex with a waitress. Caroline mistakes the woman for Julia, tells Richard, and he travels to Spain to confront 'oh-SAY! in the following episode "Caroline and the Bullfighter", which is made of this trope: Animated cutscenes to Madrid and Pamplona covered in palms, even though palms can only grow in either with the work of a dedicated gardener. A Madrid hotel room (in El Famoso Hotel de Madrid, «The Famous Hotel of Madrid») that looks like a California beachfront home and must go out of business in Madrid's winter. Extras speaking in Mexican and Puerto Rican dialects. A hotel maid singing "España, España, Olé". Such thing as a "Bullfighter Bar" down the street, decorated in bullfighting pictures and Francisco de Goya paintings where "all the bullfighters (in the city? Country?) are". Every single one of which is dark-skinned, black-haired, named 'oh-SAY! and dying to hit on an American woman. The Running of the Bulls described as a "Rite of Spring". It takes place in July. The characters also arrived in time for one running, despite being in Madrid first (over 240 miles away), during daytime, runnings taking place at 8:00 AM, and the fact they returned to the Big Applesauce in under 24 hours. Pamplona covered in multicolored flags, the only ones that are real being actually the national flag of Barbados. Richard describing Spaniards not listening to him as "so much machismo". A hospital hall lighted with chandeliers. As if a reference hospital in a provincial capital could not have electricity. Other props in this scene include an electric fan out of business (in a town almost on the Pyrenees that rarely gets temperatures over 30ºC) and a massive wall crucifix. |

Family Guy: In "Peter's Got Woods," Peter makes Brian go to a PTA-meeting at James Woods High School in his place and Brian is surprised to find Quagmire there, despite being single and (presumably) having no children (let alone ones who attend that particular high school). Quagmire points out that he's had sex with women all over the world and that he very well could have kids in their twenties—then the episode cuts to "Madrid, Spain," represented by a Spanish colonial villa in what appears to be a desert, where a woman (speaking in an surprisingly good Spaniard accent) berates a man who looks like Quagmire (but with a ponytail and a Cantinflas 'stache) for coming home so late. Before leaving again, the man goes on a much-less-well-accented Spanish rant ending with "I'm going to go see a bullfight!" | |

Vega's stage in Street Fighter II (and Vega himself, for that matter). The catch? That stage is set in Barcelona, one of the least Toros Y Flamenco-esque cities in Spain. Of course, one can easily find a tablao if desired... but it's as representative of the city in itself as ceili dancing. Still, Vega's Super SFII Turbo ending includes a peek into his Big Fancy House. It actually looks as if it was straight-up lifted from Granada's Alhambra◊. |

0 A.D.: The Iberian civilization's gameplay music is far too modern, dominated by guitars and trumpets. Of course no actual Ancient Iberian melodies have survived, and the few musical scenes represented in Iberian art show instruments common in the Ancient Mediterranean like lires and flutes. The Iberian units and buildings also used to have Spanish names in the first versions of the game before the programmers switched to Basque, which is at least a non-Latin derived language (the actual relationship between Basque and the poorly understood Ancient Iberian language(s) is debated; on the other hand, the game's Iberians are a stand-in for all peoples in the ancient Iberian Peninsula, including the Iberians but also Celts, Celtiberians, proto-Basque/Aquitanians, Lusitanians, Tartessians and Balearics). | |

Like every other national and ethnic stereotype, this trope is alive and well in Mobile Fighter G Gundam. "Now representing Neo Spain, Matador Gundam!" | |

There is a hilariously wrong episode of MacGyver set in the Basque Country (Spanish dub of the beginning here). | |

In the Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers episode "When Mice Were Men", the Rangers travel to Spain, to a place named "Tramplonia" to be precise, to visit an old friend of Monty named Don Quijole. He tells them about an evil bull who stole all the other bulls to ruin the Running of the Bulls festival. The Rescue Rangers construct a mecha-toreador to defeat the evil bull. This is where the picture of the article is from. | |
