For political reasons Spain has been isolated from the rest of Europe for a number of years. This has resulted in slow progress of both welfare and the means to support social protection. It was not until the middle of the 1980s that Spain began to address subjects in relation to family violence. The article outlines how interest in, resources for, and research related to, elder abuse evolved in Spain.
