The Montemadrid Foundation and the Commission for the Commemoration of Fifty Years of Spain in Freedom are presenting an exhibition at Casa Encendida in the Spanish capital which examines half a century of democratic transition in Portugal and Spain
Both countries experienced changed almost simultaneously. Portugal's transition began in 1974 with the 25 April Revolution and Spain's the following year with the death of Franco. The process that followed his demise led to the adoption of the multi-party system and the 1978 Constitution.
