Good Manners In Spain

If you want to travel to Spain, you need to know about good manners in this country. Here are some things you should know and some things you should avoid.

Greetings in Spain are normally the same as other western countries. They shake hands to say hello but the Spanish also kiss friends on both cheeks.

For clothes, you can wear whatever you want to wear because in Spain there are no specific rules for your clothes. But on special occasions you should wear smart clothes.

For food and drinks, the Spanish eat lunch as the main meal of the day. And when you are there you should try 'tapas', the traditional Spanish food. And it's not necessary to tip after you finish your meal.

For culture, in February there is a carnival in Spain where people wear different clothes. It is fantastic to come at this time. Another celebration is New year when the Spanish eat 12 grapes because they want a wish from god and 1 grape means 1 wish.

For regulation, it's the same as other countries, there is a speed limit, you mustn't drive more than 120 km./h. And you can't smoke indoors but you can smoke in public.
