Summer brings with it the arrival of many foreigners who choose Spain as a destination to enjoy their vacations. Although tourism gives them the opportunity to immerse themselves in the customs and traditions of the country, it can also become difficult if the culture shock is significant.
Fernando Alfaro, a Mexican tiktoker, lived a shocking experience during his trip to Spain with his sister as backpackers. During his tour, he discovered some customs of the country that left a strong impression on him.
His experience with typical Spanish food was not so positive. According to him, their limited budget as backpackers allowed them to have only one meal a day. In addition, he hated to see that the gastronomic offer in Spain was mainly focused on tapas and pinchos.
During their visit to Pamplona, ??they experienced a curious anecdote when they decided to try an Italian restaurant, but they got an unpleasant surprise: the tapas portions were too small. Also, to their astonishment, they were even going to be charged for the bread, so they decided to leave.
In this viral TikTok video, which has already reached almost 170,000 views, the influencer highlights one of the first culture shocks he experienced: the surprising frequency with which Spaniards go out to party.
As for the Spanish, the tiktoker also expressed his complaint, mentioning: “I thought that people here would be more pleasant with Latinos, but no, they lack seasoning, drums, reggaeton.”
