Is the Villarautia the most important award for books written in Spanish?
I know the Cervantes, the Planeta, the Gallego but I admit I had never heard before of this Mexican award. Anyway I have voted the Goncourt and the Hugo.

[Scheherazade]

These are the awards that have been nominated by the Book Club members, rather than most important ones.

Thanks for your vote! :)
