History
The first mention of him occurs in 1761 in the Libro de Ordenanza de los toques militares de la Infantería Española by Manuel de Espinosa, where he is called La Marcha Granadera ( March of the Grenadiers ).
In 1770, King Charles III (Carlos III) established La Marcha Granadera as the official anthem, which began to be performed during all official ceremonies. Since it was constantly performed during events attended by members of the royal family, the Spaniards began to consider it their national anthem and called it the “ Royal March ”.
During the Second Republic, El Himno de Riego ( Riego Anthem ) became the national anthem instead of the Royal March. However, at the end of the Civil War, Francisco Franco restored the “ Royal March ” as a national anthem, replacing its name with the former “ March of the Grenadiers ”.
After King Juan Carlos I came to power and the Constitution was adopted in 1978 , maestro Francisco Grau was commissioned to create a new anthem arrangement, which is used today, and the name “ Grenadiers March ” has been replaced by the current one.
In October 1997, “ La Marcha Real ” was approved by the country's national anthem.
One version was used during the reign of King Alfonso XIII (the author of the text is Eduardo Marquina), and the other during the period of Francisco Franco (the author of the text is José María Pemán), until the establishment of a democratic system in the country.
Now there is a version of 2008 (author - Paulino Cubero).
