There have been two Spanish Republics:

• First Spanish Republic (1873-1874)
• Second Spanish Republic (1931-1939)

Franco declared Spain to be a monarchy, but did not permit a monarch until his death in 1975.

Spain is not currently a republic; it is a constitutional monarchy. Occasional embarrassing errors in this regard may have been caused by the Spanish language title of the Prime Minister of Spain, Presidente del Gobierno (president of the government) sometimes shortened to Presidente (president).
