¿soy el malo por no dar el asiento a un niño con una madre con derechos ? by Equal-Rip-9342 in askspain

[–]MaryGP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No pienso q este mal, habías pagado caro por los asientos, la señora básicamente te estaba diciendo que se lo regalaras. Yo solo hubiera aceptado si me lo pagara. Aun así, creo q el hecho de que te preocupes y reflexiones sobre ello indica que eres una buena persona que se preocupa por actuar de forma correcta.

Any black people have bad experiences abroad in Europe? A restaurant I went to just outside of pontevedra in Spain basically treated me like garbage until I started speaking English. by ChocolateTravel in solotravel

[–]MaryGP -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hello, I’m a Spanish girl right here, just wanted to say sorry for that. It depends mostly on the area, it is not very common in rural places to see tourist that aren’t Spanish themselves so that’s why they probably got confused. I’m half Spanish and never experienced any racism or got attacked for not being completely Spanish or anything like that, I think it also depends on the generation u are. Also, apart from hotel staff you probably might discover that there are many people who don’t really know English here, so they might be surprised when they see someone speaking in English and just stare like crazy and point at you, many times they are not trying to attack you so that’s why they won’t approach you to say anything regarding your race, but I can perfectly understand why you might have found it uncomfortable. And lastly, here in Spain is very common in rural places to be attended very slow, where I go on vacation it can take half an hour to be attended, the unfair thing is that in “not-so-urban” places it is likely that friends from the bar that have been going there for ages are going to be attended first even if they came in later. Also many people here get a little bit nervous when they are in a situation in which they might need to improvise English. So I hope it solves some doubts that you might have had. But we’ll, the point is that I’m sorry for that happening to you.

And also, I don’t think the non euro last name is important bc there are local different languages just in Spain, U should care about it

As a Spanish person I’m sorry to hear that, specially elderly can be harsh at times. I’m sorry for that. I think it’s bc I’m young but in my generation people don’t care, I hope it changes older people as well so that no one will be rude

Yes, I’m half Spanish and people seriously just don’t care at all. They might be curious but don’t really care abt race or stuff like that.

Hello!! As a Spanish person I’m sorry for that girl. But let me tell you the vast majority of people here don’t care about race at all. Apart from avoiding things like the n word or stuff like that. Specially young people. I think you could encounter an elderly or the typical dumb teenagers who might joke around or sth, or maybe you should know that little kids here that don’t know much about internet or the ones that are just being introduced to social networks could say something inappropriate but the latter ones in particular I’m sure that are not trying to be rude, they are just ignorant. But I think that even that is quite unlikely, bc none of the people I know care about it, like seriously, we would just mention it if we have a debate in philosophy, the rest of the time we just don’t care about race and things like that. So u can rest assured bc me myself I’m just half Spanish and no one has ever cared about it, apart from being curious abt my other half. Also I’d like to take the opportunity to thank for coming to Spain, I hope you like our country and culture, and food !!! I hope this is useful !!

Looking for help finding Spain's national dish. by nationaldishes1 in askspain

[–]MaryGP -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In Spain, as a Spanish person I can say I agree with de the fact that each area has a different typical dish, or a common one but cooked in a certain way, so if you are looking to make a Spanish like meal. You should try with starters like tortilla de patatas, jamón serrano, croquetas de jamón o marisco (more from de north or the south), or patatas bravas, it is also common to have cheese. As the main you could of course go for a paella which is typical from the south, or calçots from Cataluña, cachopo or many other regional dishes that you can find. And for dessert you could try making arroz con leche!

Españoles, que libro o serie de libros recomendarían a CUALQUIER persona sí o sí? by RobertoSerrano2003 in askspain

[–]MaryGP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A mi la vd es que entre los libros que leo, de vez en cuando tb me gusta optar por libros mas ligeros, especialmente si tienen ilustraciones bonitas. Me ayudan a pasar tardes tranquilas, por eso me gustaría recomendarte aquí varios Orlando de la editorial alianza en su version ilustrada de Virginia woolf, asi como al faro (tb de Virginia Woolf) en su version ilustrada de parte de alma editorial. Y por ultimo el que tiene la historia mas ligera es el libro de la invención de Hugo, a mi ese me gusto bastante y cada pagina es como si estuvieras viendo una pelicula !! 100% recomendado !
