I think it is necessary to explain that, unlike other places, in Spain the time to chat (with family or friends) is not before sitting at the table but after. The "sobremesa" is the perfect time to talk because you can relax. You have the whole afternoon or evening ahead so nothing is going to interrupts the conversation. In addition, in Spain, meals are not frugal, they are made up of several dishes (first course, second course and dessert), so you need to rest afterwards (preferably having a coffee or a liquor). So chatting during that time is natural.

[@celtapsiquico6762]

I'm Galician and we do that differently. Here, it's quite common, when the whole family gets together for lunch, to start at 12:00 in a so-called "vermouth" session where people have some snacks, alcohol and soft drinks and talk about whatever. Then at 14:00 we start eating and at about 16:00 everyone goes home or does whatever they want to do (hours may vary). Obviously, I'm talking about meals on weekends and holidays, from Monday to Friday during work time we don't have time to chat whatsoever.

There are a lot of myths about Spain that need to be ended, like climate for example, everyone seems to think that in Spain there is only one climate possible, hot and sunny, and thats far from real. I myself am from Northeast Spain at the pyrenean mountains, right in the border with France, overhere the climate is Alpine mountainous one like Switzerland or Austria, we have bears, wolves and so…we can have colder and snowier winters than Scandinavian countries for instance, i have never in my life experienced 40ºC at my region, in fact we are known for being the biggest ski ⛷ ❄️ resort in South Europe. On the other hand in Northwest they have almost as same amount of rainy days and green landscapes like they have in Ireland, Scotland or England doe to the athlantic climate they all share in common. Plus none of us, northeners tend to see or listen Flamenco like at all. 😂 in fact Spanish climate could perfectly be compared to Korean one, we both are at similar latitudes, and we both are a peninsula, so we both have very distinguishable 4 seasons and we both have a colder north and a sunnier south

[@arararantxa]

Hi! Professional translator here to say even though I love Andrea, she's slightly wrong in the bit about everything being dubbed in Spain due to the dictator. The first dubbed movies in Spain were actually made BEFORE the civil war, like you can find videos of dubs made in Spanish in 1929 or I think the first dub in Catalan was made in 1931. And they were made because people back then were mostly illiterate and it was the best way to bring culture to people (very few people could've read subtitles), but she is right in the sense that when Franco came to power, he used dubs as a means to promote the exclusive use of Spanish

[@arararantxa]

I love her tho, she's very cute and funny

[@ExOfficeZombie]

Cool fact! And makes totally sense!

[@irondequoit2931]

You are right. But going a little bit further. Franco died 47 years ago!!!!! Why hasn´t it been changed if it´s so wrong? The way she thinks is due to the inoctrination of young people in today´s Spain; where whatever you might think is wrong is due to the dictator. And obviously, don´t think and do not have a critical attitude; otherwise you could be pointed out as a "franquista" or a fascist.

[@arararantxa]

@@irondequoit2931 You think dubbing is wrong? How do you want kids who can't read yet, old people and blind people to enjoy movies, then? Dubbing is good. What was wrong was Franco trying to force everyone to speak Spanish and ban other languages. Dubbing has always been about making culture accessible to all, and that's inherently a good thing

I have never associated tacos with Spain. My first thought is like paella. I went to Spain and we went to a flamenco show/dinner. We had our guide make our reservations for 8:30 pm to eat and we were the only ones in the restaurant. We tried to wait until 10 pm like the Spaniards but we were starving because we hadn’t eaten since lunch. Plus I don’t like heavy meals close to bed time because I don’t sleep well. I’m not good at adjusting my body clock., 😂 We enjoyed Toledo the most. I had a friend from Spain who didn’t learn to speak Spanish until he was a teenager. He told me before that he only spoke Basque. Some parts of the current day USA were once part of Spain. And many cities were founded as mission towns hence the prevalence of the names with San and Santa. In my own experience, in my country, Spain is discussed more often as part of history or about our military installation in Rota. A lot of Americans near me have ancestors who migrated from Spain centuries ago and were never in Latin America. But because they have Spanish last names, people assume they have a connection to Latin America. Nope. They consider themselves to be Spanish Creoles.

I think was right about puntuality but could be more clear. A Spanish person can arrive late to a party but won't do that professionaly. In the last two years, as all meetings went online, things have became more strict. Before you had up to 5 minutes of margin that if you arrived within that period nothing would happen (if you don't do that always). People weren't so used so many got trouble with the camera or audio for example. Now in Spain if you arrive more than 2 minutes late to an online meeting you have started on the wrong foot. How is it in your countries?

Great video! If any of you guys is interested in hearing what other languages in Spain sound like I recommend you check out the amazing music group Tanxugueiras for example. They are three young women from Galicia, they are so powerful and creative mixing traditional Galician music and dance with modern sounds. Spanish folk music is more than just flamenco (which I love as well), our country has a lot of rich diversity in cultures, I'm sure you'll love it! :)

"Spain is very raining and green country" I suppose Andrea is from the north of Spain, because in the center and south DONT rain at all, and dont have much grass "flamenco" Is practiced on the south and maybe in some parts of the center, but in the north they have other traditional dances, like Sardana o Jota

Andrea made me think "living in Spain isn't that bad after all, I would enjoy it =D". I'm Italian, we're so similar.

[@aritzmartinezrodriguez1825]

I am Spanish and Ive always considered Italy to be the closest culturally to us in Europe. Every time I've been there I feel that people act and have pretty much the same values as we do. I've always felt at home there. I suspect/like to think that Italians feel the same when coming here.

The truth is that in spain during the civil war they had two jobs. Thats why we have a long break at midday so they could rest. Also Aldof asked Franco to use the german time gmt +1. The warm weather is just a dumb excuse!

[@carlolsen5120]

Because the CET time zone is so wide, the time zone that Spain should really be in a later time zone from the majority of Europe (Portugal is), and that's part of the reason they eat dinner at 10:00 p.m. and don't start working until 10 a.m.

Why do US people always compare Spain with Latin America?🤔 We share language and also, of course, some other behaviours and traditions, but we all have amazingly unique cultures, gastronomy, history and landscapes. It is like we would compare everything from the US with Singapur, Nigeria or Jamaica just because they all speak English!

Correction: The obligation of translate everything from foreign languages, specially in cinema was not imposed under Franco's regime, but in the 30's, during the second republic (before Franco).

[@RaulManuel15]

That's false. It's in 1941 when Franco passes the "Ley de Defensa del Idioma" which made compulsory the translation of all foreign films into Spanish. This allowed to censor and change many lines that the regime thought could damage the Christian and anti-communist values they wanted to impose.

As hispanic american. there's some things that we made like spain, for example arrive late it's the same we are really relaxed with that, some food influence of spain, same fish dish, Also the ´´sobremesa´´, we have we love talk when we end to eat because it's when we can.

[@aritzmartinezrodriguez1825]

I have to say that Hispanoamerican food has more than a little influence of Spain, pretty much every meat (other than turkey) that you eat there was brought by the Spanish. Amongst many other ingredients. But you also did your fair share and gifted us with potatoes, thanks to which we have one of the most traditionally spanish dishes of them all, tortilla de patatas. With tomatoes, without which Italian cuisine would be close to non existent, and many other things like corn. Much love to my hispanoamerican brothers and sisters!

I find it fascinating that so many cultures and languages were able to evolve in the relatively small land area that Europe is, but that probably partially explains why people in the US celebrate their ethnicity, be it Native American, European American, Latin American, African American, or whatever. It would be pretty much impossible to get the 350 million people or so in the US to all do things exactly the same way.

[@fidelangel4737]

Actually you can be latin american and native american descendent, eurodescendent or afrodescendent.

[@maximipe]

@@fidelangel4737 Yep, the US somehow has this weird notion of races being mutually exclusive for some reason (and an unhealthy fixation with race imo). As Tom Segura put it about Mexico "there's white people there, there's black people there, there's even Asian people there". Like skin tone has nothing to do with nationality or geography.
