Is the fan that important to the Spanish?
Cultural symbol of Spain known throughout the world, seeing a woman cooling herself with a fan makes us dreamy and evokes in us ideas of passion and romance.
In reality, fans have been used by everyone, all over the world.
From the ancient Egyptians to the Japanese, including the Romans: all have used this very practical tool which allows them to withstand the hottest temperatures.
So imagine the light wind it produces on your face on a muggy summer afternoon, and you'll understand why so many people around the world have their own fan.
However, no one gave the same importance to the fan as the Spanish woman. For her, it is indeed a real lucky charm in a deep sense.
It was towards the end of the Middle Ages that it took on its full importance in the Iberian Peninsula.
With the creation of flamenco, a dance form typical of Spain, local nobles gradually saw beautiful women dancing with fans held in their hands.
The highest levels of society therefore quickly saw it as a symbol of sensuality and passion.
In a world where etiquette and respect for strict rules took precedence, many noble women began to use the fan to convey tacit messages that they could not express otherwise.
In reality, a real “language of the fan” has developed in Spain, with its own codes.
In short, nowadays, there are few Spanish women who do not have a fan to cool off in the stifling heat of some summers.
Ideal way to communicate one's passion, lucky symbol of part of the nobility, practical tool which protects us from discomfort: and you, what are you waiting for to obtain your fan?
