Definition

Segregation in Spain was not as overt or systematic as in the United States, but there was still discrimination and segregation based on race. Black Spaniards faced social and economic hardships, including limited access to education, employment opportunities, and housing. They were also often marginalized and excluded from mainstream society, with many living in separate communities or neighborhoods. While Spain officially abolished slavery in the early 19th century, the legacy of racism and discrimination against black Spaniards has persisted to some extent to this day.
