Interesting Facts - Written in 1761 as a military march for the Spanish infantry, the “Marcha Real,” or “Royal March,” is a rousing national anthem similar to many others, except for one thing — it has no lyrics. Of the hundreds of national anthems around the world, only four don't have words: the "Marcha Real,” and the anthems of Kosovo, San Marino, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. During events such as the Olympics or the World Cup, Spanish players and spectators — dressed in the national colors of red and yellow — usually just hum the melody.
