Essay analyzing why the tropes of Hispanophobia took root in Spain from the 18th century, when the Spanish was associated with decadence and failure. It examines the conflictive relationship of the elites with their country, its extension to Latin America and how that negativity fuels centrifugal tendencies and ends up weakening the State.
