What are the elements for Breach of Contract in Spain?

Can anyone provide me with the basic elements for Breach of Contract.  I familiar with law in the United States, but Spain is new and it is tuff to find a translation of the Civil Code.

Thanks.

I should probably ask:  What are the defenses to breach of contract in Spain? 

That is, if I am the defendant is a contract action, what are my defenses?  Can I claim plaintiff did not mitigate or that they did not fulfill their obligations?  Perhaps the legal "terms" I am using don't translate into Spanish law well.

Thanks.

 Dear Rainbow:

 Contract breach judgment in Spain depends on the type of contract.

As a general rule reciprocal obligations are cancelled if one of the parties breaches its lot in the contract.

Best,

Maria
