Abstract
After developing an overview about the country’s involvement and commitment in UNESCO’s projects and programs since the 1950s and through the multiple activities carried on by the National Commission of Cooperation with UNESCO, the chapter underlines the participation of Spain in the preparatory work for the 2003 ICH Convention and the progressive development of regulations concerning the intangible heritage in Spain, by also performing an analysis on origins and evolution of the legal definition of it, and the related main aspects, in the national and regional legislation. Moving from the legislative framework in force particularly by the Law 10/2015 and provisions ensured by the Spanish Constitution, as well by the Statutes of autonomy and the related regional laws, afterwards the author depicts the ICH cultural policies in the country both at the central and local level, through the creation of inventories and ethnographic museums, and the establishment of a National Plan, and illustrates a case study concerning the first Spanish ICH proclaimed by UNESCO, The Misteri d’Elx.
