Folklore of Spain encompasses the folklore, folktales, oral traditions, and (urban) legends of Spain. They span the whole region of the Iberian Peninsula. The origins of these tales date back as far as the 8th century when the Arabs brought their ideas and concepts of national fairytales (Cuento) and folklore to Spain.[1]
The Arabian impacts on Spanish folklore would lead to Spain playing a mediator position between the European regions and the Muslim world and culture. Not only would Spain play this crucial role in the Muslim world, but they would also incorporate Indian cultural aspects into their tales and oral traditions.[1]
