Spain isn't just sunshine and wine.

It's a country of innovation.

Here are 15 inventions made in Spain that changed our lives forever:

(a 🧵)





1. Classical Guitar

Classical guitars derive from the Vihuela and Gittern Spanish instruments.

However, the modern classical guitar was invented by Spanish luthier, Antonio Torres Jurado in the 19th Century.
2. Cigarette

Although people have been smoking tobacco since 5000 BC, Sevillan beggars invented the first cigarettes.

They would find discarded cigar butts, shred them, and roll the remains in scraps of paper.
