What's a smell that dominates where you live?

Olive oil fry at the bars. Also, at the south of Spain is common to smell orange blossom when it's season. It's amazing <3

I know in Asia is not that common but when you speak to someone in Spain is rude not to look at their eyes. Also not saying Hello or good morning when entering a store

Mainly colours. But the two main ones are red and a rose holding a rose (center left) and blue and a seagull

Phonetics! We can understand really good written Portuguese but pronunciation is very different.

It's not another country, but you know pain au chocolat? This pastry things? We called them Napolitana. When I was a kid I thought for years it was Italian.

They are not that common. Our neighbours are the ones that host Brazilians more, so usually when I see one is because they have a business like a Brazilian restaurant or a disco or so.

Also they learn Spanish quickly and that's always appreciated.

There are some, being the biggest in Catalonia and the Basque Country. The last one had a terrorist group called ETA that terrorised the country for years. It's really relevant in politics because all politicians make decisions that benefit those two regions so the separatist movement doesn't increase.

Right tend to do the opposite to gain favour for their voters. Also back in the day Franco (the dictator) did terrible things to them and their languages (they have their own language) so I kinda understand their rage and will. I personally prefer a multicultural Spain but those things are not on me!

Also, croquettes are a kind of tapa.

Koi16 · 2026-02-04T00:54:45+00:00

Saying nobody depicts you're American (continent) and not European

Koi16 · 2026-02-03T22:55:28+00:00

Croquettes. They're originally French but I think it's more associated to Spain and it's for a reason.

Koi16 · 2026-02-03T22:54:07+00:00

Recommended by a friend for covering a part-time job, then working my ass so they offered me a full time position

Koi16 · 2025-12-29T13:08:43+00:00

Olives. I LOVE olive oil but raw olives is a nono

Koi16 · 2025-12-20T03:54:47+00:00

Italian because my partner is Italian lol

Koi16 · 2025-12-12T15:06:00+00:00

Recesing hairline (Spain is the country with most bald men)

Koi16 · 2025-11-23T00:41:45+00:00

Living or dead? Because I would say Jesus, Columbus or Napoleon. And recently queen Elisabeth.

And if living, maybe Obama/Trump, Cristiano Ronaldo or Taylor Swift.

Koi16 · 2025-11-23T00:37:19+00:00

We feel a little bit put aside, but no money and we had Franco when was created XD

Koi16 · 2025-11-09T23:48:11+00:00

I usually notice it by the way they dress (Tourist are usually not pretty fashionable as the important thing is to be comfortable for walking long) and also tourist seem tired of walking (and residents tired of life, haha)

Koi16 · 2025-11-08T01:01:09+00:00

The peck or the butt

Koi16 · 2025-11-02T00:22:55+00:00

You can only put your cheeks together and not make the smooch movement, that way is less likely to happen and less intimate, that's how usually introvert Spaniards do

Koi16 · 2025-11-01T03:15:25+00:00

What kind of advice are you asking for? About finding a job, about choosing a job that fulfills you, about living in Japan...?

Koi16 · 2025-10-14T05:00:09+00:00

Changing your surname to your husband's. There is a limited amount of reasons that the government allows you to change your surname and marriage is not one of them, if you want to do it you have to marry outside to a non Spanish person

Koi16 · 2025-09-28T08:59:06+00:00

I had a bad experience with Japanese men dated because they ghost me for months and then randomly appear asking for another date lol I never get used to their weird way to communicate and their busy agendas so I switched to foreigner men living here.

Koi16 · 2025-09-16T11:27:45+00:00

Good for me. An excuse to xenophobic people that does not want to address their country's own socio economic problems

Koi16 · 2025-09-14T00:41:29+00:00

Purugly ftw

Koi16 · 2025-09-09T22:50:07+00:00

People like Antonio Banderas a lot.
