"Red and yellow": the colours of the Spanish flag are proudly worn by Formula 1 driver Fernando Alonso, victor in the German Grand Prix Sunday, and cyclist Alberto Contador, winner of the 2010 Tour de France. "The month of July has marked the beginning of a new golden age for Spanish sports", trumpets El Mundo. Two weeks after the Spanish victory in the FIFA World Cup, "the flags are still flying in the streets". Formula 1, cycling, tennis... What is the secret behind "the most brilliant generation of athletes in Spain's history?" asks the daily, which inevitably provides an answer - "current positive values" like discipline, effort and unity have become "the best recipe for countering the recession and the lack of a great collective national project", concludes El Mundo.
