面对创纪录的热浪，西班牙民众正在重新拥抱一项历史悠久的消暑工具。马德里气温预报达到39摄氏度1，传统折叠手扇（abanico）在这股热潮中成为跨越性别和年龄的时尚必需品，推动了手工艺品销售和旅游纪念品市场的增长1。
这类手扇具有深厚的文化渊源。折扇在15-16世纪通过葡萄牙海上贸易从亚洲传入欧洲1，其后在西班牙发展成熟。17世纪中期，西班牙画家委拉斯开兹在作品《拿扇子的妇人》中记录了这一配饰的使用1。到了18世纪，瓦伦西亚成为西班牙折扇制造中心1，而19世纪弗拉门戈舞者开始将其作为表演道具1。专门店Casa de Diego的折扇价格从30欧元到6000欧元不等1。
As Spain faces scorching temperatures, the traditional folding hand fan, known as the abanico, has become a widespread accessory for coping with extreme heat.1 Madrid is forecast to reach 39 degrees Celsius (102 degrees Fahrenheit).1 This centuries-old craft has transcended gender and age boundaries to become a fashion essential across Spanish society, simultaneously reviving the traditional fan manufacturing industry and boosting tourism-related sales.1
The abanico's journey to prominence in Spain spans several centuries. Folding fans arrived in Europe from Asia during the 15th and 16th centuries through Portuguese maritime trade.1 By the mid-17th century, Spanish painter Diego Velázquez depicted the fan in his work "Woman with a Fan," cementing its cultural significance.1 The production of these fans became concentrated in Valencia during the 18th century, establishing the city as Spain's fan manufacturing hub.1 The accessory gained further prominence in the 19th century when flamenco dancers incorporated it as a performance prop.1
Today, the abanico remains available across a wide price range, reflecting both its mass-market appeal and artisanal heritage. At Casa de Diego, a prominent retailer, folding fans range from 30 euros to 6,000 euros.1
