Spain
has a character all to itself.� Spanish culture is distinct and
quite different from the rest of Western Europe.� The Pyrennes
Mountains separating the Iberian Peninsula from the rest of Europe,
along with its history of Moorish occupation, have left a lasting
imprint on the Spanish people today.
Spaniards are a very friendly people, and though they may not speak
any English, they are always willing to lend a friendly hand to
tourists.�
Spain is a very provincial country, and different regions of the
country still support and speak a variety of different languages to
include Basque, Galician, Catalan, and Castilian.� One thing
all Spaniards have in common, though, are the distinctive Spanish
schedule and mealtimes.� Spaniards typically eat a small
breakfast, a snack at 11, and then lunch at 2pm.� The afternoon
(the hottest time of day) is a time for rest as the Spanish people
enjoy their famous siesta period.� The evenings in Spain are
very lively, and dinners typically don't start until 10 or 11pm.� |
