(Turn on Youtube subtitles for English subtitles) The “Marcha Real“ (Royal March) is the national anthem of the Kingdom of Spain. It is one of only four national anthems in the world that has no official lyrics (although it had lyrics in the past, they are no longer used). One of the oldest in the world, the Spanish national anthem was first printed in a document dated 1761 and entitled Book of the Ordinance of Newly Played Military Drum and Fife Calls by The Spanish Infantry, by Manuel de Espinosa. There, it is entitled “La Marcha Granadera“ (March of the Grenadiers). According to the document, Manuel de Espinosa de los Monteros is the composer.
