It was once said that Spain is different. Well, it's no different from any other country, but like visiting any new country, when you don't know how the basic things work, it can be a challenge to get around and have a rich experience. So I decided to make a video which answers so many of the basic questions people have when they visit Spain. Here are some of the questions I answer:
- When do the shops open in Spain
- When do the tapas bars open in Spain
- When do the restaurants open in Spain
- What are tapas? How does tapas work?
- Do you tip in Spain?
- Do Spaniards take a siesta?
- Do people speak English in Spain?
- Is there bullfighting in Spain? Should I see a bullfight in Spain?
- How should I travel around Spain?
- How do people greet in Spain?

MORE INFO ABOUT THE VIDEO ????
⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯
Spain is a complex country! It’s also a pretty easy going one. But there are certain things that you just don’t want to get wrong. And here they are!

11. Don’t go OTT on please and thank you.
In Spanish we just don’t use the words as much. We are more likely to work ‘please’ and ’thank you’ into the tone of how we speak, or by tweaking the words (such as adding “ito” to the end of a word).

10. Don’t put bread on your plate.
In Spain, you always leave your bread beside your plate on the table. It sites beside your cutlery, because it kind of is a piece of cutlery.

9. Don’t eat with your hand under the table.
I grew up with no elbows on the table. But here in Spain we also have the rule that you should have your hands above the table at all times. Because you might have a knife??

8. Don’t offer guests a beer at 5pm
Because we eat lunch and dinner later, beer o’clock is usually about 8pm… not 5pm.

7. Don’t help with the dishes after parties.
It’s just not something that’s done here. At the end of a party or dinner party, you might help tidy up slightly, but you don’t help do the dishes.

6. Don’t be a ‘pesado’ in social situations.
Chill out! Don’t ask people what their job is straight away when you meet them in a social setting and don’t expect people to cut to the chase when telling a story - we take our time here!

5. Don’t misinterpret loud conversations.
When Yoly speaks with her mother on the phone, it can get heated. But they’re not arguing - it’s just that conversations here often sound more intense.

4. Don’t generalise about Spain.
This is a highly regional country. So don’t assume that every region of Spain has the same language, customs or food.

3. Don’t call Catalan a dialect of Spanish.
Catalan is its own language - and don’t get that wrong (especially when speaking to a Catalan)

2. Don’t used ‘usted’ willy nilly.
Here in Spain we’re pretty informal and so don’t use “usted” unless we’re speaking with older people or in very formal situations.

1. Don’t mention the civil war casually.
The Spanish civil war and the dictatorship is a really complex topic, and still an open wound in Spain. So wait until you know someone pretty well before diving into the topic.

WHO ARE WE? ????
⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯

The 7 Countries of Central America

Did you know that Central America is made up of 7 different countries? It's true! The 7 Central American nations are: Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama. Together, these countries make up the Central American isthmus (or the narrow strip of land between North and South America). Each of these countries has its own unique history and culture. They each have their own languages, food and customs as well. Some of them even have their own currency! So, today in this video, let’s learn all about these 7 countries that make up the entire Central America. Let’s begin, shall we!

1. Belize
Belize is a small Central American nation located on the eastern coast. It has a population of just under 400,000 people and covers an area of 8,867 square miles. The capital city is Belmopan, which is located in the central part of the country. The climate in Belize is tropical with average temperatures ranging from 24-32 °C (75-90 °F). There are two main seasons – wet and dry. The wet season runs from May to November and during this time heavy rains can cause flooding in some areas. The dry season runs from December to April when there tends to be less rainfall overall. Hurricane activity usually peaks between August and October so travellers should be aware of this if visiting during these months. There are many different things to see and do in Belize regardless of what your interests are. For those who love nature, there are plenty of opportunities for hiking, bird watching, cave exploration etc. While history buffs will enjoy learning about Maya culture at one of the many archaeological sites scattered around the country such as Xunantunich or Caracol. And let’s not forget about all the activities that can be done on or near water – swimming, snorkelling, diving, fishing… the list goes on! No matter what you’re looking for, chances are good that you’ll find it here in beautiful Belize!

2. Costa Rica
Costa Rica is a country in Central America with a population of 5 million. The country spans around a total area of 19,730 square miles and its capital city is San Jose. Costa Rica has a tropical climate and is home to many different kinds of animals including monkeys, sloths, and iguanas. The economy of Costa Rica relies heavily on tourism as well as agriculture and manufacturing. The history of Costa Rica begins with the native tribes who inhabited the land before European colonization. These indigenous peoples were eventually pushed out by Spanish settlers in the 16th century. For centuries thereafter, Costa Rica was largely controlled by Spain until it gained independence in 1821 along with other countries in Central America. Since then, Costa Rica has undergone various changes - most notably becoming a republic in 1848 and abolishing its army permanently in 1949. Today, Costa Ricans are known for their friendliness and love of nature - two things that make this small country an appealing tourist destination. In recent years, however, there have been some challenges to this image due to an increase in crime rates. Nevertheless, overall visitors still report having positive experiences when visiting this beautiful haven!

3. El Salvador
El Salvador is the smallest country in Central America, with a total land area of 8,124 square miles. It has a population of 6.7 million people and has its capital as San Salvador. The official language of El Salvador is Spanish, although there are also many speakers of indigenous languages such as Nahua and Maya. The majority of El Salvador's population is mestizo (of mixed European and Amerindian ancestry), but there are also significant numbers of whites (of European descent) and blacks (of African descent). Around 60% of the population lives in urban areas, while the rest prefer to live in rural areas. El Salvador has a tropical climate, with average temperatures ranging from 21°C to 27°C. The wet season lasts from May to October, while the dry season extends from November to April. Although it’s a tiny country, it is a haven for avid tourists due to its stunning beaches, lush rainforests and friendly people.

MORE ABOUT THIS VIDEO ????
⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯
Recently Yoly and I made a video about things you MUST NOT do in Spain. And it was really popular, as well as a little controversial.

So we decided to follow it up with something more positive - the things you have MUST DO in Spain if you want to have a truly local and authentic experience.

11. Read a great book before you come!
Before I moved to Spain, reading really helped me get a grip on this country and in the end have a much more local experience.

▶ BUY 'GHOSTS OF SPAIN' HERE:
▶ BUY 'DON QUIXOTE' HERE:

10. People watch during the evening paseo!
People watching is a real cliche, but it can be an amazing way to discover a place. So how do you do it right in Spain?

9. Explore the neighbourhoods as well!
Don't just limit yourself to the historic centre - hit the barrios where the locals are and see that side of life!

▶ Check out this video of a tapas crawl in our Madrid neighbourhood:

8. Explore lesser-known parts of Spain!
Of course you want to visit Barcelona, Seville, Madrid etc. But why not hit the rural areas? Or lesser know regions?

▶ In this video Yoly and I head to the beautiful rural Jerte Valley


7. Eat a menú del día in an old man bar!
These bars are full of locals who are going about their busy day and stop to eat a big lunch. Such an amazing way to get a glimpse at everyday life in Spain.

6. Make time for a lengthy 'sobremesa'!
Once you've finished lunch, be sure to make time to chill out with a huge gin and tonic!

5. Drink local wine!
Don't just still to Rioja and Ribera del Duero - make sure you check out local wines too.

▶ In this video Yoly and I head to rural Granada and drink local wine:


▶ My video to help you understand Spain's famous Rioja wine:

▶ My video to help you understand Spain's other famous wine region - Ribera del Duero:

4. Eat paella like a local!
First you want to make sure you eat non-frozen paella. But then, you also want to eat it WHEN the locals eat it.

▶ My video about Spanish food myths (incl. paella info!):

3. See an AMAZING flamenco show!
I'm not really into dance... but flamenco is so much more than that. And I adore it!

▶ My wife Yoly is a passionate flamenco expert and leads incredible private flamenco experiences. Check them out here:

2. Eat Spanish delicacies that scare you!
I'm talking blood sausage, sweetbreads and pigs ears. Get into it - it's the local food!

1. Talk to a stranger in a bar (or somewhere else)!
In Spain we very easily and quickly strike up conversations with strangers. So even if you don't have much Spanish, go for it!
