The CIA World Fact Book estimates the current Spanish population at 40,525,002.
How many Catholics are in Spain?
In Spain, 93 per cent of people have been baptised Catholic, but only 22 per cent regard religion as important. Between 24 and 31 per cent claim to attend mass weekly, although evidence elsewhere suggests that this statistic is always overstated.
A study by the Spanish Centre of Sociological Research in February 2013 reported that about 70.5% of Spaniards self-identify as Catholics, 3.1% other faith, and about 24.1% identify with no religion. Another study in 2005 reported that 59% of the population believe there is God.
By October 2014, when the total population was 46.77 million, the proportions had changed: 67.8% of Spaniards self-identifying as Catholics, 2.3% other faith and 27.5% non-religious. There were therefore approximately 31.7 million people who identified as Catholic.
A low in-practice adherence to Catholicism is demonstrated by Spain's extremely low birthrate, given that the Catholic Church is opposed to birth control.
Spain's principle, not only and not official, religion is Roman Catholic.

Can you travel to Spain with a Schengen Visa?
The UK is not a part of the Schengen Area however if you are a national of a country which doesn't require a visa to visit the UK then you will be able to travel there with just your passport. A Schengen Visa is a visa which allows the holder to visit any country which is part of the Schengen Agreement. Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland are the present Schengen countries (as of May 2009). Liechtenstein is expected to fully sign-up later this year. Also there are no border controls between San Marino, Vatican City and Italy or between Monaco and France. Separate visas are still needed for visits to the United Kingdom, Ireland, Romania, Bulgaria, Cyprus and other European countries. Schengen countries are those where border controls have been abolished so there are no longer any passport checks on borders and it's often difficult to know if you've actually crossed a border. Note that there are still customs checks between Schengen countries where one is an EU member (for example, Sweden) and the other is not part of the EU (for example, Norway). All Schengen countries require people to carry some form of ID with them (whether they are a visitor or a national or resident of that country). To apply for a Schengen visa you should apply to the embassy of the first country you intend to visit. If you plan to visit Italy, France and Spain (in that order) then you only need to apply to the Italian embassy and your visa is good for France and Spain too. European Union and EEA citizens don't need any visas to travel within the EU or Schengen countries. Croatians don't need any kind of visa for travel in Italy, Slovenia or Hungary but do need a visa if they intend to go elsewhere in the EU. Americans and Canadians may need a visa for some EU countries.
What and why do the spanish eat at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve?
For luck. Each sweet grape you eat will be a good month and each sour one will be a bad month. You have to start at 12 am and end before 12:01 am, in Spain they go with the chimes of a certain clock but it's important to finish on time. I believe you are supposed to eat green ones and you can make a wish with each one you eat.

Spain isn't as socialist as Cuba or Venezuela. We're in the centre. In good economic times we prefer the socialist party but in bad economic times we prefer the conservative Popular Party.
The Popular party´s voters are conservatives and liberal ( 9,5 millions voters) and the socialist party has centre-left voters (7,5 millions voters).
The party that wins the centre voters that are nearly 2 millions voters decided the elections.
