Lovely point of view about Spain, just one little thing: spanish tortilla is: potatoes, onion, eggs. NEVER, EVER, CHEESE!! :)

[@YUCAYEQUE]

Onions depend on who is making it. Some swear by it others wouldn’t dream of it

I have cringed when she said "cheese". OMG. Banned from Spain forever, girl.

Well, como norteamericano viviendo en espanya, me siento totalmente seguro aqui Que alla, y mas, creo que soy espanyol y no Americano and this is due to the fact that Spain is very much safer than many other countries , the people are honest and kind, and the food is absolutely great. At my age I reckon that I'll die here I found my place on the planet

You forgot to talk about the SADISM of many Spaniards who have fun and benefit from TORTURE, VICTION, MASSACRE, MISCONNECTIONS and SCARNIO of animals until they are killed in a public square. It is true that there are fewer and fewer Spaniards with this pathology.

@@janetD5749 estamos en el siglo XXI, cuando pasó lo que supuestamente dices??. Me produce risa que todavia en el tiempo que vivimos se siga creyendo eso. España ha sido invadida durante muchos siglos, sufriendo las consecuencias de una invasión y no se les tiene resentimiento y no se les acusa de que no avanzamos como país por ellos. Supongo que será debido a que tenemos otra mentalidad, otra educación y luchamos por avanzar y no mirar al pasado.

I'm half Spanish & live in England. Never lived in Spain my entire life, visited Spanish family almost every year as a child. So I've also been around loads of British tourists\ expats in Spain. The vast majority of Brits don't even bother learning and experiencing Spanish culture, they stick to their closed off communities, complain and slag off Spanish locals. They only bother learning a few words like "una cerveza por favor", then vote brexit but still expect to maintain their special privileges. Then you have Americans like this lady putting them to Shame, happily expressing her experience of Spanish culture. The world needs more tourist like this lady.

[@franjordio]

Hi, Spanish omelette it's made with no cheese, sausage, chorizo or the like. it is made with eggs and potatos and maybe the biggest discussion is about with onion or not, and that's about your personal prefference.

[@georgezee5173]

The New Year's Eve thing is funny, because usually in Spain we start partying AFTER midnight, as late as 1 am on the 1st of January, since we all spend dinner with our families (both Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve dinner are super important traditions for us), watch the midnight "campanadas" (bells announcing the New Year) and had 12 grapes with each toll.. And then we start leaving our families to go party. I've been living in London for a few years now and on my first New Year's Eve I couldn't believe everyone was going back home at the time I had always started partying LOL It was quite a shock

[@neurotyc]

Another fact about Spain is the quality of hotels. If you go to a hotel in Spain which has 2 stars (for example) in other country it would be a 4 stars hotel and viceversa. Our hotels are really high quality compared to others in Europe or other countries.
