Cultural Diffusion

Students read a narrative describing how a traveler, Mateo, observes cultural diffusion while visiting different regions of Spain. The story highlights Catalonia’s blended language influences, the Alhambra’s architecture shaped by Muslim builders, and Galicia’s Celtic-inspired traditions. After reading, students answer reflective questions that help them understand how geography, trade, migration, and history shaped Spain’s diverse languages, customs, and cultural expressions. This worksheet builds comprehension, strengthens understanding of cultural diffusion, and develops students’ ability to interpret examples from a narrative text.
