Graphic novels! Spain has an incredible scene. 'The Walking Man' by Jiro Taniguchi is Japanese, but for Spanish authors, look at 'The Sanctuary' by Nicolas de Crécy or 'Blacksad' by Juan Díaz Canales (though it's set in a US noir world). Actually, 'Arrugas' ('Wrinkles') by Paco Roca is a profoundly moving Spanish graphic novel about aging. It’s a different kind of cultural insight, told visually.
