Culture Shocks from Living in Spain?

[@CarlosMartinez-tt4qp]

Kinda surprising to see the French guy saying that we're proud from our culture because some of us feel that they're the ones being proud of their own culture and art xD

[@Belfry_pat]

he was giving major le pen voter vibes with that comment and the one of civilization, so if my assumption is correct I wouldnt be surprised he think that way

[@fern8580]

@Carlos, what surprises the French when they go to Spain, to Quebec, to Russia, to Poland, for example, is the National flags everywhere, all the time, it is not very much the case in France where there is no big Nationalist propaganda since 1950 France. I think "the Frenchman" did not raise a really important point.

That's so fascinating that he said Spanish people are proud of being Spanish! I think that depends on the city. I imagine in Madrid there is a different pride already with that city being the hub for football, tourist culture, museums, etc. But I can tell you that my friends from Andalucía would probably not be as vocal about their pride as the madrileños.

[@hrotha]

I suspect part of it is a matter of seeing it from the outside vs seeing it from the inside. Like if you asked a Spaniard whether French people are more proud of their culture than Spanish people on average, they'd probably say yes without hesitation

[@rodrigomoralesmedellin8293]

I feel like Spaniards have a similar pride about their country as Mexicans (in my experience, as a Mexican living in Spain since I was a teenager): they actually don't have the best "self esteem" as a country, and sometimes seem to look elsewhere to praise other ways of being, tend to complain about how shitty x and y things are in their countries, BUT as soon as someone else questions it they get very defensive lol. And even unprompted some people can be very "nobody else does this like Mexico/Spain". It's not really like American patriotism where a lot of people genuinely believe their country is the best ever.

[@ChillCR]

Well, I'm born and living in Andalusia and at least where I live people are proud of being Spanish. But yeah, compared to the capital is logical that they are more patriotic or whatever you wanna call it

[@chetingerx]

As in many other places around the world there's a national populist resurgence in Spain. Many many people in Madrid have spanish flags on their windows and balconies as a political stand against the socialist goverment and against memorialist laws design to recognize and repair the dictartoship victims. Which the nationalist right still won't clearly condemn. I as a madrileño born & raised don't share this patriotic national catholic spirit either. I detest football too. Madrid night life is the best though. Food unites us all. As for the french man I wouldn't reject he could be a patriot too, according to his discourse.

[@ChillCR]

@@chetingerx what does having Spanish flags in the window with a protest with the "socialist government"?? What a stupid comment

We ate late cause we eat more in between and we come late out of work cause we have free hours at midday.

[@Juan-xg4kr]

In fact, people still believe that we always get up and go to bed late, which is why we have double the population in tourism (the second on the planet), being the second largest car producer in Europe and the 9th in the world, the one with the most bars on the planet, a multitude of companies at the forefront of infrastructure worldwide by turnover on all continents, the world's leading producer of olive oil and table olives, half of which are consumed from Spain, world leaders in organ donation by 30 consecutive years, the second high-speed network in the world behind China, the third country in the world in km of highway behind China and the USA, one of the best public health services in the world, the largest producer and exporter of vegetables in Europa, and world ranking, public transport, also in the export of military material and a long etc. All this is achieved by sleeping a lot and getting up late Spain 47 million population and the half sleeping 😂

Que los españoles empezamos a las 10-11 a trabajar como muestran algunos gráficos y noticias es una mentira como un piano de ahí el dicho "tiene horario de marques" El horario escolar de de niños de 6 a 12 años esta mas o menos equiparado en toda Europa. Respecto a universidades etc. si que la cosa cambia y es un poco mas dispar y abarca desde las 8:00 hasta incluso las 10:00 Si es cierto, costumbres diferentes, desayunamos flojo por lo general, almorzamos entre el desayuno y nuestra comida (que es el almuerzo de ustedes) merendamos y cenamos, 5 comidas en muchos casos. También hay que tener en cuenta que tenemos un horario que no nos corresponde y cambio de horario invierno-verano. Cita: la España peninsular comparte huso horario con países como Francia y Alemania. ¿Por qué, si geográficamente correspondería otro? ¿Tiene algo que ver con las costumbres españolas, como la de comer tan tarde? El origen viene de Franco, y la respuesta es que sí. Un saludo.

I'm from Spain. I have always lived near Barcelona and last year I went to Madrid for a Muay Thai seminar, for 3 days. You can trust me when I say that Barcelona and Madrid are like day and night! Both have good and bad things, but Madrid is more akin to my personality; everything is more spacious, the air is not as contaminated, the white color and architecture of the buildings are very top level, and you can see a lot of families, all well dressed, enjoying the local parks and stuff. Whereas Barcelona feels closer, more open, and kind of... Like... I don't know... Easier? Madrid feels more responsible, less chaotic, etc. In conclusion, Barcelona is perfect for a more open life with the possibility to live many different experiences, and Madrid is ideal for a chill life with good people around you. That's my conclusion but let me know if I'm mistaken! I'm not a city guy though, I prefer the town where I live :P

All the opposite with countries where supper is the main meal quite heavy in the evening and you don’t have the change to burn the calories because you are resting at home and probably straight to bed few hours later,.

And that's the reason why morrocan inmigrants have hard time integrating and they hardly ever embrace our culture. To make it short, we have more similarities with any LATAM country in culture despite the distance, than we will ever have with the 'next door' neighboor Morroco. That being said, the closest countries in culture and traditions, are Italy, Portugal and France (with a big plus for southern France). By the way dinner time is more a mediterranean and daylight thing than a spanish thing, + it's also due to wrong time zone (Spain should have same time zone as Portugal).

My first visit to Spain was in the late 60's, people were always friendly and polite although the younger ones of my age were chafing at the bit of the dominant ultra-conservative, ultra-Catholic culture. My biggest shock on returning in the 2000's was the proliferation of ugly graffiti everywhere on all buildings, and also people of colour to be seen and accepted everywhere, in a formerly lily-white country...and that's a good thing, BTW. Oh, and, no more 'porteros' to let you into your building late at night. But the people are still great !

Ye after the franquismo era ended in 1975 Spain ended up joining the EU and globalizing and it became developed. And immigration obviously came with that. Also I've never heard Spanish people described as lily-white lol they're tanned like Portuguese Italian Moroccan Greek Lebanese Turkish, course there are exceptions tho😉

[@brunobandiera2062]

Yes, well I should have said the country was totally Caucasian/European. Alicante, 1966. There were rubias/os in Andalusia but I saw NO persons of colour at all, not even Moroccans. Barcelona 2008 was a contrast as I saw more than one Spanish couple with an adopted Asian child here and there, plus African street vendors, etc. The Franco regime was pervasive, when I went with my Spanish pals to a bar or cafe, we could always detect the not-much-undercover cops. I was nearly shot once by the Guardia Civil as I was riding along the beach highway at 1 AM as my motorcycle headlights had cut out and they thought I might be a smuggler.

The problem is that it collides with a demonym which already existed and referred to anyone from the American landmass. There are documents from the 1800s, from when a demonym for people from the US wasn't clear and they were trying to establish one. In particular, there's one document written by Samuel L. Mitchill, a US senator, in which he clearly says that American to refer exclusively to people from the US shouldn't be used because the demonym belongs to everyone in the landmass.

A tauromaquia é uma tradiçāo milenar enraizada entre as três nações celtas de cultura latina. Como a caça, o toureio faz parte da nossa ruralidade.
