Summary

Since the eighties the presence of Muslims (Spanish and immigrants) in Spain has increased considerably. For them all, the Ramadan it is the clearest expression of their belonging to the Umma. Ramadan constitutes a festive ritual process characterised by a double dimension: a religious sense, synthesis of practices and beliefs of Islam, that imply a public expression of those convictions, and a festive character in which the community is all important.
