Resumen
Los majos de Cádiz ("The Dandies of Cádiz") is a short story by Spanish author Armando Palacio Valdés that captures the vibrant social life, customs, and character of Andalusian culture, particularly the city of Cádiz.
The story focuses on a group of "majos"—young, stylish, and often flamboyant men known for their bold personalities, gallantry, and streetwise charm.
These characters represent a distinctly Andalusian type of social figure, deeply tied to Spanish popular culture, bullfighting, and romance.
Palacio Valdés paints a colorful, vivid portrait of Cádiz and its people, showing both the grace and bravado of the "majos" as well as the social tensions and underlying issues of class and identity in 19th-century Spain.
