I am truly suprised by this because of that fact that it's Spain we're talking about here.

I mean, just a couple of decades ago in Spain under Franco's regime, Spain was a very conservative country. The Catholic Church had an extremely strong influence there and was responsible for the education in the country. At one point, no other religions could even be advertised and the catholic church had control over all the books that were published there. Even nowadays 80% of the country are practicing catholics.

A good decision IMO

but surprising one from Spain.
