The Spanish Gypsy

The Spanish Gypsies, also known as the Gitanos, are an indigenous ethnic group in Spain with Romani origins. They have a rich cultural heritage characterized by distinct language, music, dance, and traditions. Historically marginalized, they have maintained a strong sense of community and identity while experiencing social challenges. Gitanos have contributed notably to Spanish culture, especially in flamenco music. Today, they continue to preserve their cultural practices while navigating integration and social inclusion within broader Spanish society.
