Spain Through the Eyes of Spaniards
Spain, known as 'España' in Spanish, is a land of vast diversity and vibrant culture. Spaniards take pride in their home, which is as varied as its people. From the sunny beaches of Costa del Sol to the snowy peaks of the Sierra Nevada, geography greatly influences the lifestyle and cuisine. In coastal areas, you'll often hear locals boasting about their delicious 'mariscos' (seafood). Each region has its own unique traditions and festivals. In Valencia, the 'Las Fallas' festival is celebrated with grandeur. People construct huge sculptures, only to set them on fire in a spectacular display! And how can we forget about the famous 'Running of the Bulls' in Pamplona? Spanish people are warm and friendly. A typical greeting is a hearty '¡Hola! ¿Cómo estás?' (Hello! How are you?). So, if you ever find yourself in Spain, remember to greet the locals in their language. They’ll appreciate it! Spain is truly a feast for the senses. One visit, and you'll understand why Spaniards describe their country with such love and pride.
