Hispanophile (Spanish: hispanófilo)[1] is a word with two meanings. The first meaning refers to a person who is fond of Spain, its people, or its cultures, and it can also be the corresponding adjective.[2] The second meaning generalizes the first one to all Spanish-speaking countries.[3] Its opposite is Hispanophobia.
