What Is This Feed?
Spain's Parliament, the Cortes Generales, has a Congress of Deputies with 350 members and a Senate, both in Madrid. Canal Parlamento streams the Congress, and the Senate has its own site at senado.es.
When Can I Watch?
The Cortes has two ordinary periods each year, from September to December and from February to June. Plenary sessions often fall on Tuesdays through Thursdays. Madrid is usually seven hours ahead of Chicago. Schedules change, so confirm on the official site.
Why This Feed Matters?
Spain moved from dictatorship to democracy after 1975 by negotiation rather than war, a transition that has been studied around the world. Its Parliament is a lasting product of that peaceful change.
