Andres Iniesta's goal deep into extra time sparked the celebrations and many of the thousands watching the game at giant outdoor fan zones around the country burst into tears.
"It's well deserved. They are a very close team of players," Julio told Reuters in Madrid as supporters hit the streets to celebrate.
"Spain tried to play football and Holland only tried to kick them," he added.
After Spain's goalkeeper and captain Iker Casillas lifted the trophy in Johannesburg the parties got into full swing.
"We've been waiting years for something like this (at the World Cup), said Miguel. "They are a real team and they deserve it. Iniesta was the man of the match."
Amidst the wild celebrations a solitary Dutch fan called Anoushka, dressed in an orange dress, said: "I didn't like the way Netherlands played, Spain deserved to win."
