Cantos nacionales ("national songs" or " Nationalist songs") were three songs of the Spanish Civil War recognized by Francoist Spain as honoring their fallen. The Decree 226/1937 [1] of the Burgos Junta declared the Marcha Granadera as the Spanish anthem. It also recognizes as cantos nacionales the anthems of Falange Española ( Cara al Sol), Carlism ( Oriamendi) and the Spanish Legion ( Novio de la muerte) ordering that they should be listened to standing in homage to the Fatherland and the fallen. A decree from 1942 [2] reinstates the songs and orders that, in official events, the playing of the anthem and the songs must be saluted with a "national salute" ( Roman salute), or a military salute if the event is exclusively military.
