What are important events that happened in Spain?

Answer 1

You mean historically?  Spain has a history that goes back some three thousand years.  There are a few important events that have happened there.  Want to be a bit more specific?

Misosoup has given you some terrific annual events, if that's what you are looking for...add to that the celebration of Cristianos y moros.  Valencia.  don't know what time of the year it is.  And the Pilgrimage of Rocío, which starts, oh, right about now, in Sevilla, and goes to the tiny town of Rocío, near Huelva, and I think takes about a week or two.

Answer 2

two very talked about events are:

the spanish inquisition started in the 1400s

the spanish civil war in the late 1930s
