Teah, there are several bands from Spain that I am sure you could enjoy, my suggestions now in my mind are: Iceberg, Gotic, Cai, Mezquita, Los Canarios and Amarok, among others.

Imán, Califato Independiente: http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=1029

There's a band called Kathaarsys who I believe is from Spain.  They play a pretty good Opeth-inspired extreme metal/acoustic folk mix.

The only Spanish Prog band I know is Triana, and I totally loved their first 2 albums. 5 star albums both of them.

If you're into flamenco rock, apart from some already mentioned here (Triana, Azahar, Granada, Cai, Mezquita, Guadalquivir, Iceberg, Imán Califato Independiente, Vega) i would add the first albums by Medina Azahara, Alameda and Gualberto.

From the non andalusian regions of Spain i strongly recommend you "Si todo hiciera Crack" by Crack and the first album of Eduardo Bort and also some mentioned above (Atila, Los Canarios and Gotic).

Use the album search. It has the ability to select from specific countries.

I will correct a previous poster who mentioned Iceberg as flamenco-prog. This is wrong. Iceberg was a catalan band and their music had nothing to do with flamenco-rock or -prog bands like Triana or Medina Azahara.

It was a boring experiment with some tramps and no prog music really, lyrical instead. Some of the musics played movements in guitars, drums...and they were no credited. They did the dirty job. A weird album, not recommended

Maybe Medina Azahara are not a prog band now, but i think they were a prog band in their beginnings and that's why I mentioned their first albums, to be more specific Paseando por la mezquita (1979) and La esquina del viento (1981), they have made more than 15 albums since then and i agree those are not prog.

About Canarios i think it has some really good moments, maybe it was pretencious and not so original (because is based on Vivaldi's Four Seasons) but i still recommend it, I recently got the double cd minilp sleeve made in Japan and sold my jewel case cd.

Gerinski is right, Iceberg was a great catalan band more jazz fussion oriented, but they made a glimpse to flamenco on "La flamenca electrica" from Coses Nostres.

Gerinski is right, Iceberg was a great catalan band more jazz fussion oriented, but they made a glimpse to flamenco on "La flamenca electrica" from Coses Nostres. Sure their influuences and connections came from Triana, Smash and The Storm, but that was turned soon in heavy rock, or andalusi rock, nothing to see with prog rock. Sometimes may be confussions... Excuse me if I looked like weird or angry but I like people listen to me, and I live in Spain and I have seen Medina 7 times since 1986. They never did PROG. Canarios?? I will tell you a secret: they were mercenaries of music, they never felt what they did. One of their members is the president of the rights for musicians now (SGAE) and is a dictadorship here in Spain. He usuallly wants money from childs who makes a performance in their colleagues playing PAST musical hits, a bad person... Iceber were great, but pay attention to ATILA, they were great and interesting too. Cheers! Saludos a Tecnotichlan.
