Résumé
The Labor Day began to be celebrated in Spain for the first time in 1890 through meetings and demonstrations. In the following decades, the liturgy of a movement that aspired to achieve much more than the eight-hour working day was developed. Madrid, as the capital of Spain and the founding nucleus of the Spanish Socialist Party, was the place where the images of May Day acquired greater symbolic strength with Pablo Iglesias as an unquestionable leader. With the passing of time, and despite the changes of political regime, with Dictatorship and Republic included, it was creating a tradition that only the Civil War could interrupt.
