Where will you find the best dress: France, Italy, or Spain?

Who was the last hero Spain can be proud of?

• Nowadays Spain is suffering from a lack of leadership, someone that make you proud of being spanish (beyond sports) and who defends and claim the goodness of being in Spain. Furthermore, Spain is not used to eulogise his patriots. I often have more problems to find someone from Spain whose acts were admirable in the past than in other countries. Mainly because there are no museums or films for them. We can think of Churchill in UK, De Gaulle in France, Lincoln or Roosevelt in US, Gandhi in India. Who would be the leader you would choose from Spain History? Someone similar to those from the previous list?

• Answer:

  I can think in many admired writers, artists, poets and scientifics (most of them repubilcans). Some of them are: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federico_Garc%C3%ADa_Lorca http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miguel_de_Unamuno http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Machado http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Ortega_y_Gasset If you mean militars or politicians http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manuel_Aza%C3%B1a (last republican president) and at some point after Franco's death present day's king http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Carlos_I_de_Espa%C3%B1ahe helped a lot to build present day's spanish constitutional monarchy and avoid a very costly second civil war.
