[@duVallonFecit]

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

You do realize that there are multiple recognized languages within Spain right? Spanish, or Castellano/Castilian as it’s called, is only one of the languages within Spain. Basque, Galician, Catalan, and Aranese are also spoken in addition to Spanish and it’s best not to assume everyone speaks Spanish.

I'm an American who has lived in Spain for five years and I absolutely love it! The Spanish have an amazing sense of humor and an indescribable warmth. Don't even get me started on their amazing food and wine -- the latter of which is number two in Europe (slightly below Italy). I must confess that while I knew a great deal about the country before I arrived, the Spanish tortilla shocked me when I first saw it. I told the waiter that I don't like tortillas. To which he asked how could I not like eggs. Confused, I decided to try it.....and WOW....just WOW!

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.

[@akiram6609]

A lot of Americans assume that Spain = Mexico.

[@BlackHoleSpain]

Visitors should learn in advance that Spain has a *wrong* timezone (we should be UTC+0 like United Kingdom), and during summer we add an additional hour to the mix. So we end being 2 hours behind the sun, that's why we eat lunch at 14/15h and have dinner at 21/22h. Mostly everybody get some snacks at "tea time" (5-6 pm) to get by.

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]

[@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 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?

En Holanda gusta hablar de la impuntualidad de los españoles, pero en un video donde entrevistaban a holandeses, les preguntaron sobre su puntualidad y la mayoría dijeron que a veces llegan tarde al trabajo o a citas, así que.... 😉😉👍👍

Por favor, dejad de dividir España más de lo que ya lo han hecho.... todos los países tienen varios idiomas o dialectos... la diferencia es que aquí se lleva mucho tiempo subvencionando esto políticamente para dividir al pueblo español.... vaya golazo nos metieron hace unas décadas con lo de las comunidades autónomas... España es UNA nación y el que diga lo contrario solo tiene un Ego descomunal y complejo de superioridad para con sus semejantes...

Not sure if it's just my family or a southern thing, but in the US we do something similar to "sobremesa" where we relax and talk a lot as a family after eating a good meal. I don't think there's a term for it though. Might be something to include on the next video including terms that don't have an English word :)

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.

"Is Spain Next to Mexico" LOL it's not just Americans though. I'm a Spaniard with a Spanish middle name and family name. I've had Filipino people on more than one occasion say to me "You have a Filipino name" or I thought you were going to be Filipino because you have a Filipino Surname..." one was recent this year over the phone, they asked my Nationality i said Spainish, and they said " I thought you were Filipino too because of your name.. i asked Family name? Yes and your Middle Name." My Middle name is Alejandro...Facepalm.

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!
