En España se usa el maíz también...en la zona norte, en Asturias, se hacen Tortosa, son tortas tradicionales de maíz sobre las que se pueden poner distintas cosas... Picadillo de carne, huevos fritos, dulce con queso ....y por otro lado, se hacen guisos con mezcla de verduras,y pollo o trocitos de ternera.....pero no es lo mismo....y no suele gustar el picante..

Spain is cool I am there every winter, because the sun also leaves Germany in winter to go to Spain.

[@loners4life]

We loved Spain! We definitely will go back

8:02 - Don't be surprised, many US americans think that Portugal (Spain's neighbour) is not in Europe either, they think it's in South America.

[@loners4life]

Haha this is true 😂

[@mnpipi3329]

You say: "many Americans don't believe that Portugal is not in Europe. " I don't know one! I have been living in the USA for 67 years and have traveled to Spain and Portugal for most of those years, many times with friends, and not one was surprised Portugal was not in Europe. Who are your friends?

The Yankees are not clear about what America is, For them, Mexico, Central America and South America do not place them very well, let alone distinguish them, they believe that Spain is there, in a part of Mexico (South America), And don't complain because Spaniards are not allowed to define ourselves as Europeans on the OFFICIAL US forms when entering their country. Spain, possibly the oldest nation in Europe and the most historically important, between Portugal and France, belonging to the EU, is NOT recognized as European in official US documents. But the Anglos use a derogatory, derogatory ending (-ard) that only applies to a demonym: Spanish, they do not use it with German, Arabic, Australian, Japanese, Chinese, Senegalese, only with Spanish. And they despise our language, they forget the Ñ so Spanish, and the spelling accents, something they don't do with French, Cyrillic, Arabic, or other languages. I'm bored of being told, how are you going to be Spanish? you look european They are unaware that Spain discovered America, that it arrived 200 years before the English, that a large part of the territories of today's USA spoke Spanish 150 years before English. That they celebrate Jamestown as the first European settlement in America when at that time Spain had literally founded more than a THOUSAND cities in America, built universities, hospitals, cathedrals, councils, etc. That in large part they owe their independence to Spain, which financed the war against England, provided them with weapons, cannons, ships, information, ammunition, and Spanish soldiers shed blood against the English to drive them out of America. Bored of being considered genocidal and slave-owning, if it weren't tragic it would be even funny, and that's what Yankees tell me who massacred, genocide, the natives with an OFFICIAL policy of "the only good Indian is the dead Indian" as a result of the that there are only Native Americans in the states that were Spain: Montaña (with Ñ), Colorado, California, Texas, New Mexico, Florida, etc. etc etc etc Los yankis no tienen claro qué es América, Para ellos México, Centro América y Sudamérica no los situan muy bien, menos los distinguen, creen que España está por ahí, en un parte de México (Sudamérica), y no se queje porque a los españoles no nos permiten definirnos como europeos en los formularios OFICIALES de EEUU al entrar en su país. España posiblemente la nación más antigua de Europa y la más importante históricamente, entre Portugal y Francia, perteneciente a la UE, NO es reconocida como europea en documentos oficiales de EEUU. Pero los anglos usan una terminación despectiva, despreciativa (-ard) que sólo aplican a un gentilicio: español, no lo usan con alemán, árabe, australiano, japonés, chino, senegalés, solo con español. Y desprecian nuestro idioma, olvidan la Ñ tan espaÑola, y los acentos ortográficos, algo que no hacen con francés, cirílico, árabe, ni otras lenguas. Estoy aburrido de que me digan, ¿cómo vas a ser español? tú pareces europeo. Desconocen que España descubrió América, que llegó 200 años antes que los ingleses, que gran parte de los territorios de los hoy EEUU hablaban español 150 años antes que el inglés. Que celebran Jamestown como el primer asentamiento europeo en América cuando en esas fechas España había fundado, literalmente, más de MIL ciudades en América, construido universidades, hospitales, catedrales, cabildos, etc. Que en gran parte deben su independencia a España que les financió la guerrá contra Inglaterra, les proveyó de armas, cañones, barcos, información, municiones, y soldados españoles derramaron sangre contra los ingleses para echarlos de América. Aburrido de que me consideren genocida y esclavista, si no fuera trágico sería hasta gracioso, y eso me lo dicen yankis que masacraron, genocidiaron, a los nativos con una política OFICIAL de "el unico indio bueno es el indio muerto" a resultas de la que sólo hay nativos americanos en los estados que fueron España: Montaña (con Ñ), Colorado, California, Tejas, Nuevo México, Florida, etc. etc. etc. etc.

An average worker in Spain wakes up at 6:30 - 7:00 am and goes to bed around 10:00 pm

[@xThExEgOx]

But in holidays and some weekends, spaniards use to do the ‘siesta’ from 4:00 pm to 6:00 or 7:00 pm

[@xThExEgOx]

We also eat five times per day (or that’s what we think we should do): Breakfast, ‘almuerzo’ (can be traduced into brunch), lunch, ‘merienda’ (between lunch and dinner), and obviously, dinner. Lunch is usually a huge amount of food.

[@rosab8026]

No solemos acostarnos nada mas cenar...hablamos, paseamos, salimos a tomar una cerveza o vemos un poco la tele....

Spain is an European Country who speaks castellano and Hispanoamérica , the rest of an Empíre

[@ESC_ChrisM]

You realise clubs in Spain open around 1 or 2am? :) Good luck with that, although your timezone change should in theory help you stay up that late :)

[@loners4life]

We found this out the hard way 😂 but madrid and the nightlife was awesome!

Hombre, si tú tienes las llaves o llevas la bebida o así, si, tienes que ser puntual, si....😂😂

My Baby boomer French Father started to work in 1959 age 14 with a legal retirement age of 65 and a life expectancy of 69. In other words 51 years of hard factory carrier for about 4 years of pension. Nowadays kids still in university at age 23 and they can go retired at 62 (soon 64) with a no stop growing life expectancy of 82. In other words 10 less years of carrier for office jobs with 18 to 20 years of pension. BTW In France the retirement system takes 14% of the total GDP. Just throwing that there, reach the conclusion you want.

[@AnnaKaunitz]

Russian men live on average to 67. In France your average life expectancy is 83.13, females 85.82, men 80.32. Sweden has the spot (13) above France at 14, in the entire world. These are official numbers. Not something I just made up. There is no way French men live on average only to 69 because that would put them on level with Russian men which has the lowest across Europe. Which is still a massive improvement from when the Soviet Union fell in the 90s, in 1994 Russian men had an average life expectancy of 58 years. Georgia at number 100 in the world has male life expectancy of 69 years.

[@perrymanso6841]

@@AnnaKaunitz He was saying French men in 1959, not now...

[@AnnaKaunitz]

@@perrymanso6841 Someone born in 1945 France is now 78, has an 80+ average life expectancy in France in 2023. If they had a life expectancy of only 69 in 1959 that was then. But OP puts it as the youth today live until they’re 82. They will be older on average.

[@perrymanso6841]

@@AnnaKaunitz Geez, the life expectancy is calculated to the present time, not the possible life expectancy in the future. So the OP is right on that point. A male born in France in 1945 had a life expectancy of 69, because that was the life expectancy at that time for French males.

[@AnnaKaunitz]

@@perrymanso6841 Historical life expectancy data is one thing, but we speak of how old people actually are/get on average today, we don’t use the numbers of the year they were born as a reference point.
