HOW TO BEHAVE
How do you behave in Spain
Shopping
Spain, when you meet a new person of the opposite sex, you have to give two kisses on the
cheeks. Only if you’re a boy, to another boy, you
have to shake hands. Spaniards are not shy. We
are very outgoing and friendly, and we usually are
at ease with new people immediately, and we treat
them as friends.
If you come to Spain,
one of the most
important things you
have to buy is a t-shirt
from
the
Spanish
Football Team. Football
is like a symbol of
Spain, we are very
proud of having won the
Euro 2008 tournament.
Many guys are really
mad about football and
most of the boys and
some girls are practicing
this sport every day.
Spaniards love chatting and can be very expressive; we express ourselves in a cheerful manner,
we are very talkative.
If you are in a crowded place, or at someone’s
home, don’t worry too much. Be yourself, and always respect the others.
When ordering something, as a coffee in a café or
something in a shop… the only thing you have to
do is to ask and pay, no worries.
At farewells, we usually do the same as in greetings: two kisses, or shaking hands.
That's the way to behave in Spain.
It’s true that we usually
argue about the final
results of every match,
but it is not something
serious; we all are like a
big family (a big
‘pineapple’ as we say
here.). So enjoy Spain
and buy a t-shirt!
