Abstract
This paper purports to describe the evolution, current situation and foreseeable future of Translation undergraduate university programmes in Spain. After describing the beginnings, incomparable growth and current success of Translation as an academic discipline, we pinpoint some of the challenges that it is still facing and some of the problems which still remain unsolved, after which we envisage what the future may hold for Translation Studies in Spain and question whether it could go from being the Cinderella of Humanities (that is, an ever increasing discipline in terms of students, researchers and trainers) to become a victim of its own success.
