In this artwork, how is the Spanish community discussed?
The fountain was donated by the community of Spanish residents in Mexico and was "erected as a symbol of brotherhood between both metropolises", Mexico City and Madrid.The ambassador of Spain in Mexico, Manuel Alabart, thanked the head of government of the Federal District Marcelo Ebrard for the renovations made in 2011 of what he called an "emblematic space" making Madrid and Mexico City closer, as well as for the "warmth and hospitality the city gives to almost 40 thousand Spanish that live in the Federal District".  Ebrard also mentioned the importance of the emblematic work of the refurbishment that "strengthens the ties of friendship between Spain and Mexico".Even the business district surrounding the Plaza Cibeles is known for its Madrilenian style and influence. It has also become a tradition for the fountain to be invaded by fans of the Spanish soccer team in celebration of its victories.
