Age of Consent

The age of consent in Spain is 13, as specified by the Spanish Penal Code, Articles 181(2) and 183.

Homosexual acts have been legal in Spain since 1822 (with the exception of the offence of "habitual homosexual acts" in the years 1928-32). A new Criminal Code was introduced in 1995 which specified an age of consent of 12 under Article 181f for all sexual acts; and this was raised to 13 a few years later.
