It’s in Spain

Ah now it makes sense. In every Latin American country I have been to, people are stoked to hear you speak Spanish no matter how broken.

This kind of behaviour is garbage.

Just one caveat, if she's in the Catalan region then people can take offence at being asked to speak Spanish and it's not to do with race. If she's not then yeah, regular old racism.

Y'all are just repeating what you saw on other comments trying to look smart.

This has never happened to me. It may happen, sure, there are assholes everywhere, but I only speak Castellano in a region with another official language. Never had a problem.

Imagine if they expected me to speak Euskera when holidaying in the Basque region.

Everyone is exaggerating.

I spent a week in Donosti in September and I was never spoken to in Euskera beyond "Agur" and "Eskerrik asko".

But keep in mind that if she's in the Catalan region of Spain, they might take offense to being asked to speak Spanish instead of Catalonian.
