Basic Rules for Capitalization

Historical Context and Cultural Movements
- Capital letters are also used for historical periods and cultural movements, like "Renacimiento" (Renaissance) and "Edad Media" (Middle Ages), both requiring initial capitalization.
Titles of Works
- The first word in titles of books, paintings, or movies should be capitalized. Examples include "Las Meninas" and "La Isla del Tesoro," where the first letters are highlighted.
Common Exceptions
