10 Things That Are Different Here
Here are some (perhaps very obvious) things I have noticed about Spain having spent four weeks in various parts of the country:
1. Most people live in flats rather than houses.
2. Everyone uses Whatsapp.
3. You can’t get fresh milk here, only UHT.
4. The streets are empty between about 2pm and 5pm in the summer because it gets ridiculously hot.
5. The Spanish are very generous.
6. They eat their evening meal very late, even at 11pm and beyond.
7. They talk a lot, and very loudly at that.
8. There is often free wifi in city centres, parks and public places.
9. You can’t get on BBC Iplayer, 4oD or Netflix.
10. You can’t browse a souvenir shop without it being assumed by the shopkeeper that you want to buy everything you look at.
