The Spanish are reputed to be amongst Europe's most voluble people. So why have they kept silent about the terrors of the Spanish Civil War and the rule of dictator Generalisimo Francisco Franco?

Why do the Spanish go to plastic surgeons, donate their organs, visit brothels or take cocaine more than other Europeans?
