          Primavera,

Details: 
La Movida Madrileña represented a new Spanish identity
          Its characteristics were freedom of expression, transgression of the
          taboos, use of recreational drugs
          La Movida was not a movement per se as it never had a theoretical
          manifesto - it was the coincidence of a very large group of creative
          minds who wanted to manifest themselves and party in Madrid -
          involving working and drinking
          La Movida became the showcase of a young democracy, causing the
          effervescence of the eighties and a creative and social blooming
          The Cheli and Pasota dialects came out as a new spirit of freedom
          La Movida extended to other cities in Spain as Barcelona, Bilbao and
          Vigo
