This is the Spain which foreign people doesn't know! The Golden Age of Spain, the real folkloric culture, its medieval music, its gastronomy, its literature, its several languages, as galician, basque, catalan, asturian, occitan, even castillian! Spain is not bulls and flamenco only (in fact, young people hates the Corridas de toros).

Sounds like the piece Basil Poledouris used for the Conan soundtrack in the Tower of the Serpent, I think this might be the original though...
