In Spain, the legacy of Columbus is being questioned. Why are there statues of the explorer everywhere if his merits are considered by many Latin Americans to be not very meritorious? Stef Biemans sends letters to the Latino community in Spain. And what do Spaniards themselves actually think about the darker sides of their colonial past?
In this new series - a sequel to the award winning series 'Letters to Andalusia' Stef Biemans asks questions about the stories that dominated the Spanish news last year.
