📣 Notas para viajantes

Spain is known for its friendly atmosphere, rich cuisine, vibrant nightlife, and extensive cultural heritage, including numerous UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

• New Year's Eve (Nochevieja) tradition involves eating 12 grapes at midnight.
• The countdown begins with 'los cuartos' before the 12 chimes of the clock.
• Live broadcasts of the bells from Puerta del Sol are common during New Year's.
• Fireworks typically follow the final chime at midnight.
• Punctuality is valued, especially for first meetings.
• Public intoxication is generally frowned upon.
• Spaniards are generally welcoming and expressive. While they may speak over one another or offer unsolicited advice, these actions are typically intended to be helpful. Respect family privacy and avoid sensitive political topics such as regional independence movements, the monarchy, or the Franco era. Social interactions often involve physical contact (like a hand on the shoulder) and double-cheek kisses for greetings among friends. When dining, it is customary to wait until everyone is served before eating and to split the bill equally. In social settings, people may initially decline offers of food or drink out of politeness; it is common practice to offer multiple times.
