Spain's grassroots protest movement called Los Indignados - 'the indignant ones' - is a year old in May 2012. It began with thousands of mainly young Spaniards camping out in Madrid's central square, Puerta del Sol.

Now the movement is known as 15-M, after the date it started (15 May 2011), and has reached far beyond Spain. The BBC's Tom Burridge in Madrid examines what 15-M stands for now.
