Can someone tell me what the hell was going on with Spain at the turn of the century that was giving them endless art and brilliance?
From Gaudi to the 1888 Exposition to the Art Noveau all around town, it seems like everything in the city was going well.
Today it seems a shell of what it once was

It happens to all the best, it's a matter of time they shine again, at least a region.

all those spice and herbs importations that justified new world expansion and silver hording were actually paying for drugs

From what I've heard, the Generation of '98 and the beautiful art around Barcelona was a reaction to Spain losing status as a Great Power. The artists wanted to show people that Spain was still great and would still be great even if it lost its colonial empire.
It could have been great, but the Civil War and franquismo ruined it.

>He was hit by a street
Goddamn streets coming out of nowhere hitting innocent people.
I guess you meant to write streetcar.
Also he was taken to a poor people's hospital, and he was actually recognized before he died, but he insisted to remain at the poor people's hospital.
