Spain has a rich history and varied folk music traditions. The two best known musical genres from Spain are Flamenco and Celtic music, but Spain has many other musical styles and dances throughout its mainland and island regions.

Flamenco was born in Andalusia and is also very popular in Extremadura and Murcia. Spain's capital Madrid has now one of the largest and best Flamenco scenes in the country.

Celtic music is primarily found in Galicia and Asturias, although Celtic music acts can be found throughout he rest of the country.

The creative class is found primarily in Madrid and at a smaller scale in Barcelona, although there are pockets in other places like the Alpujarras in Granada province, Vigo in northwestern Spain, Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, and the island of Ibiza.
