The Spanish historical Socialist and Communist parties, PSOE and PCE, were the only State political formations that managed to preserve its continuity with the years of the Republican democratic experience. Both parties managed to hegemonize the parliamentary representation of the left, despite the forecast of some intellectuals and new formations which believed that a process of political change guided by the Crown would not allow the restoration of historical parties of the time of the Second Republic.The PSOE and PCE presented a project that sought to not only break with Francoism but a third way between Soviet Communism and social democracy in Western Europe. However, in a short period of time, both parties had to leave not only the idea of a revolutionary break but its political project of construction of socialism in freedom. The political transition process allowed the PSOE become a dominant formation during fifteen years, consolidating democracy and building a modest welfare State, which not differed from the experience of the rest of Western Europe

Keywords : Socialist Party; Communist Party; Democratic experience; Third way.
