Eating a Big Dinner<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_49481\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-49481\" style=\"width: 840px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-49481\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clubvillamar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Homemade_Paella_with_lots_of_seafood-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clubvillamar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Homemade_Paella_with_lots_of_seafood-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.clubvillamar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Homemade_Paella_with_lots_of_seafood-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.clubvillamar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Homemade_Paella_with_lots_of_seafood-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.clubvillamar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Homemade_Paella_with_lots_of_seafood.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-49481\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paella for lunch, not dinner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You may be used to having your biggest meal of the day at dinner time. You might plan on having <strong>large paellas<\/strong> or <strong>expansive tapas<\/strong> when you eat out at night. But think again. For Spaniards, the biggest meal is lunch. Plan accordingly, and get your Spanish food fix at lunchtimes. There\u2019s a reason that having a siesta is such <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clubvillamar.com\/blog\/spain\/17-spanish-cultures-didnt-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>a huge part of the culture<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. After such a large meal, you need a rest during the heat of the day to let it settle down.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t expect to be able to order big meals at dinner time. Most restaurants won\u2019t even have that on the menu, and it can be embarrassing to order a large paella and be told that you can\u2019t have it.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Stereotyping the Culture<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_49483\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-49483\" style=\"width: 840px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-49483\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clubvillamar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/spain-provinces-map-1024x847.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"695\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clubvillamar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/spain-provinces-map-1024x847.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.clubvillamar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/spain-provinces-map-300x248.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.clubvillamar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/spain-provinces-map-768x635.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-49483\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">One country. Many cultures<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Spain isn\u2019t all about flamenco and bullfighting. It has a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clubvillamar.com\/blog\/spain\/history-of-spain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>rich history<\/strong><\/span><\/a> and has many cultures for you to experience and explore. Each region, from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clubvillamar.com\/blog\/spain\/the-costa-blanca-things-to-do-for-the-whole-family\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Costa Blanca<\/strong><\/span><\/a> to the islands of Menorca and Majorca, to the big cities of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clubvillamar.com\/blog\/spain\/barcelona-must-see-places\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Barcelona<\/strong> <\/span><\/a>and Madrid have their unique takes and traditions. Learn to adapt to each part of the country you visit. If you loved the food in one area, it might leave you red-faced if you ask for it in another province only to be met with strange looks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Each culture is unique and fiercely proud of their traditions<\/strong>. Respect that by enjoying what\u2019s on offer in terms of festivals, food, and experiences.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Being In A Rush<\/h2>\n<p>If there\u2019s one thing that will instantly set you out as a tourist, it\u2019s your pace. The people here move slower. They like to spend hours at meals. They like to take time to spend with their friends and family. And if you come across as hurried, rushed, or impatient, it will instantly mark you as an outsider.<\/p>\n<p>Learn to linger. Sit and wait. Let yourself <strong>relax and experience the change of pace<\/strong> without the rush and stress that you normally. You might actually come to enjoy the newer, relaxed atmosphere that Spain is known for.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Dress Inappropriately<\/h2>\n<p>In Australia, it\u2019s common to not wear shoes in public places when you live near the beach. In Brazil, it&#8217;s common to wear skimpier clothing in public. Spain has different clothing expectations. Wearing beach gear, such as flip-flops or bikini tops is considered\u00a0quite rude outside of the beach. Dress in appropriate clothing to avoid the cultural embarrassment of being asked to cover up.<\/p>\n<p>Spain\u2019s culture is still <strong>very traditional and religious<\/strong>, a by-product of hundreds of years of deep history. Respect that by dressing in clothing that is modest and appropriate to wear.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Not Learning The Lingo<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_49482\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-49482\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-49482\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clubvillamar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Revista_\u00a1HOLA.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"295\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clubvillamar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Revista_\u00a1HOLA.png 800w, https:\/\/www.clubvillamar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Revista_\u00a1HOLA-300x111.png 300w, https:\/\/www.clubvillamar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Revista_\u00a1HOLA-768x283.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-49482\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Learning the language is the best way to make a good impression<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you speak Spanish, that will go a long way no matter where you are. But did you know that <strong>Spain has 5 languages<\/strong>? And that\u2019s just the official languages. You\u2019ll come across Basque, Catalan, Occitan and Galician-Portuguese. If you travel somewhere that Spanish isn\u2019t the common language, do yourself a favour by <strong>learning some of the common phrases<\/strong>. It will help you with the simple tasks, and it will endear you to the locals. They love a tourist that actually puts effort into communicating with them.\u00a0 And you\u2019ll be treated better if you can ask for wine or the toilet in their mothertongue.<\/p>\n<p>The same goes for expecting everyone to speak English. Speaking slower and louder will <strong>NOT<\/strong> help them understand you, so do yourself a favour and learn a couple of sentences before you go.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Not Keeping Cash<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_49480\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-49480\" style=\"width: 840px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-49480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clubvillamar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/hans-ripa-577411-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clubvillamar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/hans-ripa-577411-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.clubvillamar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/hans-ripa-577411-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.clubvillamar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/hans-ripa-577411-unsplash-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-49480\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cash is still king in many places in Spain<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In the informal marketplace across Spain, credit cards are worthless. Oh sure, in the big cities, you\u2019ll find many restaurants accept cards, but good luck with the little <em>jambon<\/em> stall down the street. <strong>Keep cash with you<\/strong> to cover all the little expenses that your card can\u2019t cover.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s considered rude not to have cash with you if you\u2019re travelling in markets and getting around on public transport. Taxis, buses, and many other forms of transportation expect <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clubvillamar.com\/blog\/spain\/what-are-the-means-of-payment-in-spain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>cash for payment<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, so don\u2019t leave them exasperated with your attempt to pull out your Visa.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Expect Early Opening<\/h2>\n<p>If you find yourself getting frustrated with the late hours, it\u2019s most likely because you expect things to run on your schedule. The Spanish like to open their stores later than other European countries. If you want breakfast at 8 AM, it might be easier to get something to cook in <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clubvillamar.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">your private villa<\/a><\/strong><\/span> because <strong>many places won\u2019t open until 10<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The same goes for dinners. If you plan on eating at 6 PM, it will be you and a whole bunch of other tourists. Restaurants tend to open around 8 PM at the earliest, so <strong>plan to eat your dinners at 8:30-9PM<\/strong> for a chance to eat like the Spaniards. It will be full of culture and atmosphere, so you\u2019ll enjoy it more than the earlier dinners that you\u2019re used to.<\/p>\n<p>Your Spanish experience will be so much greater if you take the time to avoid some of the embarrassments that tourists fall into. Avoid the trap of expecting what you&#8217;re used to at home so that you can fully enjoy your experience without feeling like you\u2019re the outsider.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ClubVillamar\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26780\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clubvillamar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Follow-Us-on-FB-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are countless examples of what you can do when you visit Spain.
