History book on Spanish life in the nineteenth century?

I’m looking for a book exploring the day to day lifestyles of Spaniards during the long nineteenth century. Nobility is ok, but I am also interested in middle class and below, not royalty. Fortunata and Jacinta by Benito Galdez gave me a sense of a lost world. My stepfather, growing up in Franco’s Spain, still held onto some remnants of it through his grandparents. English or Spanish is fine.
