Thank you for your comment! I completely recognize that Spain has rich linguistic diversity, including Catalan, Galician, Euskera, and Aranese, all of which are official regional languages. These languages are an essential part of the cultural identity of their respective regions. However, since Spanish (Castellano) is the most widely spoken and understood language across the country, it tends to be the common choice when addressing a broader audience. I certainly don't mean any disrespect and deeply appreciate the variety of languages and cultures that make Spain so unique!

Lo más importante es hablar español, sino lo hablas te perderás todo lo bueno, y ya en otro video te lo comenté..nunca te integrarás con la población local, además a los españoles no nos gusta y estamos hartos que nos hablen en inglés, es una falta de respeto (los que vengan a vivir no los turistas)...., por lo menos hacer el amago de hablarlo (no como hacen los británicos que se creen que tenemos la obligación de hablar inglés), y así te enamorarás de España y de la cultura te lo aseguro¡¡¡¡¡

"Puentes" are not days off as such like public holidays. What many people do is choose these days as vacations, specially office workers, to combine a single vacation day, a holiday and a weekend to create the long weekend or "Puente", maybe to make a small trip, but at the expenses of using one of the 22/23 vacations days taht person has available that year. It is true that this work differently in education, because teachers nor studends can't choose their vacation days and most of the times schools are closed those days. This also allows parents to be able to travel with their kids in those occasions

what does it mean "expat"? is it like immigrant?
@ticetraveltime2 ай бұрын
From my understanding, an "expat" is someone who temporarily lives outside their native country, often for work or lifestyle reasons, while an "immigrant" moves to another country with the intention of settling there permanently. The term "expat" is usually associated with temporary stays and often implies a different socio-economic status compared to "immigrant." I only lived in Spain temporarily which is why I used that word! I hope that helps

Me hace feliz que te haya gustado España, pero te hago una aclaración: los puentes no son días extra de libres; si disfrutas de un puente se restará de tus vacaciones. Las horas laborables en España desde el 1 de enero de 2024 son 1620 horas anuales y son las que vas a trabajar si o si. Si tomas por alguna razón un día libre te lo van a descontar de tus días de vacaciones o de tu sueldo.

@@ticetraveltimeI am a Spaniard and some people do "echarse la siesta" (napping), although mainly in rural areas and in summer or weekends. When it was imposible to work in the field under a scorching sun people used to nap under a tree or inside a fresh house (painted white to reflect the sun in the south). Nowadays, in cities as Madrid nobody takes naps, even those closing their stores. However, many companies have "horario de verano" and workers leave work at 15:00 and go home in summer. Also, all year round, on Fridays people also stop working at 15:00 in many companies (most of them which do not interact with the public). Indeed, Spain is a bit different, but working hours are long in winter.
