The Spanish government, Catholic Church and Muslim leaders have joined forces to publish a school textbook on Islam.
The book Discovering Islam - for primary school children - was written in Spanish by a Muslim leader.
Spanish officials say the book has no parallel among Spain's EU neighbours with large Muslim minorities.
Spain has about a million Muslims, out of a 44 million population. The book is aimed at helping Muslim children learn about their faith and integrate better.
