The death of Francisco Franco in 1975 marked a turning point in Spanish history, leading to the transition from dictatorship to democracy. Following Franco's death, Juan Carlos I ascended to the throne and played a crucial role in initiating democratic reforms. This period of transition was significant for Spain, as it laid the foundation for a constitutional monarchy and the establishment of democratic institutions.

Franco's death in 1975 and the transition to democracy unleashed a cultural explosion known as La Movida, with poets embracing newfound freedom. This period saw a flourishing of creative expression, as poets addressed past traumas and celebrated the possibilities of a democratic society.
