Introduction

The statement on Schedule 13D (this “Schedule 13D”) originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on July 29, 2010 by Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A., a bank organized under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain (“BBVA”), is hereby amended and supplemented by this Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (the “Amendment”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Schedule 13D. Except as expressly set forth herein, there have been no changes in the information set forth in the Schedule 13D.

Item 4.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 4 shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

On July 29, 2010, BBVA proposed to the Board of Directors of The Ibero-America Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) that it submit to the shareholders of the Fund in its proxy statement a proposal for shareholder approval to request that the Board of Directors liquidate and dissolve the Fund. Attached hereto as Exhibit B is a copy of the resolution proposed by BBVA to be included in the Fund’s 2010 proxy statement. The Board of the Fund refused to include the proposal in the Fund's 2010 proxy statement. BBVA submitted another proposal seeking shareholder approval to request that the Board liquidate and dissolve the Fund on May 11, 2011. Attached hereto as Exhibit C is a copy of the resolution proposed by BBVA to be included in the Fund’s 2011 proxy statement. BBVA intends to solicit shareholders of the Fund to support the proposal that the Fund be liquidated and dissolved.

BBVA believes that the liquidation of the Fund is in the best interests of its shareholders. In October 2008, the Fund’s investment manager, AllianceBernstein L.P. (“AB”), presented a report to the Fund’s Board recommending the liquidation of the Fund and setting forth a plan of liquidation and dissolution. AB noted that, while the Fund had historically traded at a premium to NAV, the current economic outlook and limited opportunities for growth available to a closed-end fund led it to believe the Fund’s assets were unlikely to grow significantly. AB concluded that it sees “no practical or beneficial alternatives to liquidation of the Fund.” AB noted that dissolving the Fund would allow shareholders to realize the Fund’s NAV for their shares and avoid the discount that would result from a sale of shares in the market.

On October 29, 2009, BBVA similarly proposed the dissolution and liquidation of the Fund to the Board. Neither AB’s plan nor BBVA’s proposal were approved by the Board, nor were they disclosed to the Fund’s shareholders.

Rather than follow its investment manager’s plan of action, the Board proposed in the proxy statement for the General Stockholders’ Meeting on November 9, 2009 certain other actions, including a proposal to broaden the Fund’s investment mandate by eliminating or amending certain fundamental policies. It appears that the Board did not have the requisite shareholder votes to pass the proposal: though a quorum was present, the Chairman of the Board adjourned the meeting until December 8, 2009, and again to January 19, 2010.

On January 19, 2010, the Board’s proposal was approved following the Fund’s public statement on January 11, 2010 that it would act in accordance with certain existing investment limitations pending a later, separate vote on such limitations. We believe the Board’s January 11 statement nullified the substance of the proposal, making the wishes of the shareholders meaningless. The Board has therefore both disregarded the advice of the investment manager to liquidate the Fund, to the shareholders’ detriment, and used inappropriate procedures to change its investment policies, thus disenfranchising its shareholders.

AB’s expectations have come to pass and the Board’s strategy has failed: In every quarter since the Board changed the Fund’s investment objectives instead of liquidating the Fund, the Fund’s shares have traded at a discount to NAV. On October 15, 2008, two weeks after AB proposed the Fund’s liquidation, the Fund’s NAV discount was 11.8%. By comparison, in the fourth quarter of 2010, the discount was as much as 13.28% and in the first quarter of 2011 the discount was as much as 12.56%. The only way that shareholders can realize true asset value is through liquidation and dissolution of the Fund.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a) BBVA is the beneficial owner of 1,500,000 shares (the “Shares”), or 16.84% of the outstanding common stock of the Fund. Other than as provided above, neither BBVA, nor, to the best of BBVA’s knowledge, any of the persons listed on Exhibit A hereto, owns or has any right to acquire, directly or indirectly, any shares of the Fund’s common stock.

Page 3 of 9

(b) BBVA holds the sole power to vote or to direct the vote of the Shares and the sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of the Shares.

(c) Neither BBVA nor, to the best of BBVA’s knowledge, any of the persons listed on Exhibit A hereto, has effected any transaction in the Fund’s common stock during the past sixty days.

(d) No other person is known by BBVA to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the common stock of the Fund that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by BBVA as provided for herein.

(e) Not applicable.
