The Spanish Ministry of Culture awards the Premio Cervantes, the most prestigious Spanish(-language) author prize; they also award a Premio Nacional de Letras Españolas -- a national Spanish career-prize, honouring a Spanish national (but not necessarily Spanish-language-writing) author, and they've announced that (mainly) Catalan-writing Majorcan author Carme Riera has taken the €40,000 2015 prize.
The prize has a solid list of previous winners.
