In 1992, the signing of the Maastricht Treaty and the creation of the IBEX-35, the stock market index that brings together the 35 values with the highest capitalization in Spain, sold the entry of the country into the globalized economy.
The economic turn was accompanied by a lot of great sporting and cultural events, destined to underline the eager conquest of the modernization of the Iberian State: the Barcelona Olympic Games, the Seville Expo and the Acts of the Fifth Centenary of the discovery of America have contributed to realizing an authentic annus mirabilis in the history of contemporary Spain.
Meanwhile, Madrid has become a stage for one of the main cultural politics of the European community, claiming the title of European capital of culture. This article aims to analyze that important event, whose role in the new configuration of the national collective imaginaire is still ignored by the historians.
