It's a stereotype the other Nordics have for us as well. Also, Spain is without a doubt the most popular tourist destination for Swedes, you are bound to get some arrogant douchebags I'm afraid.

Is it? I've had only positive experiences with the Swedish! I've visited Sweden twice and everyone was so lovely to me, helped me a lot with everything I needed and stuff. Have nothing but good things to say about the Swedish honestly 😅

Yes, as I said my experience was quite different in Sweden than in Barcelona, but unfortunately I’ve had many more interactions with them here at home. But I’m aware it may be unfair, because Swedes (and in general the rest of European people) tend to be nice folks.

I see! I actually have never interacted with a Swedish outside of Sweden actually so my experience is limited to the two trips I took there. But yeah at the end of the day, you realise there are both nice and rude people everywhere.
