                    [Summary] => For most Filipinos, Spain is still Madre España.  Why?  For the in-

	delible vestiges she has left behind.  Our religion, to begin with.  

	The Agustinians were among the first friars to arrive, and their church in the heart of Intramuros is one of the oldest.


The zarzuelas and dances of Spain have left their mark on our own.  Was there any Filipino aficionado who did not feel like bounding onstage and joining the fiery flamenco dancers at the Meralco Theater?
