thumb|TertuliaA tertulia (, ; ; ) is a social gathering with literary or artistic overtones, especially in Iberia or in Spanish America. The word can also mean an informal meeting of people to talk about current affairs, arts, etc. The word is originally Spanish, and was later borrowed into Catalan and Portuguese. It is typically not used in English outside of an Iberian or Latin American cultural context.
Occasionally, a tertulia may also describe a television magazine or chat show programme in a similar (albeit perhaps more sensationalist) format to its older counterpart. Less flatteringly, the term tertuliano has been translated to mean something akin to the chattering classes in English.
