Line 4:
The [[Hollywood Atlas]] version of Iberian countries (mostly Spain with possible addition of elements from Portugal, Andorra, etc.).
You know, that [[Spexico|place]] where all the women dress in tiered skirts, and all the males in chaqué, where the landscape consists of mountains, red dry hills and beaches, and every night (because there's siesta all day anyway) passionate [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]] toreadors with roses in their teeth escape from stampeding bulls while playing guitars, and equally passionate [[Spicy Latina]] [[Roma|gypsies]] with roses in their hair, daggers in their garters and fans in their hands throw oranges at them while dancing flamenco. ''¡Olé!''
If you don't know why this trope fails that much at Geography, you should know that the Running of the Bulls (celebrated on the week beginning the 7th of July on the day know as "San Fermín") is celebrated only in Pamplona. The "Feria de Abril" (April Fair) where women actually dress with tiered spotted skirts and men wear chaqués is celebrated only in Sevilla. The distance between those cities is ''over 600 miles''. Yet in fiction, both seem to happen at the same time and place.
Line 16:
See also [[Latin Land]], which shares many elements with this trope, due to strong historical and cultural ties between Iberia and South American countries. Sometimes confused or amalgamated (by hack authors) with [[South of the Border]] into [[Spexico]] due to the same strong historical and cultural ties ''plus'' the similar climate.
Sometimes coincides with [[
In [[Real Life]] Spain this trope is known as ''Españolada''.
