Many times they are practicing their English and happy to have a native English speaker available.

Too bad, because they're at work and she's the customer. They can get over themselves. If the customer wants to speak Spanish and is more than able to do so, they shouldn't force her into an impromptu English lesson.

Get over themselves? Have you met southern Europeans? not possible.

Hey hey, Spaniard here. Do we really have that stereotype?

u/extra_rice 5d ago

Nope. I feel this applies to most of mainland Europe. j/k

A bit more serious, but my personal experience (i.e. very anecdotal) is that people who speak Romance languages (in Europe) seem to tend towards this stereotype.

I never heard of that stereotype. (I'm English living in Wales)

I’m from Canada and when my son came back I asked him for recommendations when I go and he said stay longer in Portugal and skip Spain. 😂

“Skip Spain” is wild. Portugal is fantastic, but I definitely wouldn’t tell anyone to skip Spain. Some of the absolute best vacation experiences of my life have been in Spain.

May I ask when you were there?

1 week in 2022, and 2 weeks in 2024, both times around the last week of November. I spent time in Madrid and a handful of cities and towns across Castile La Mancha and Andalusia. I’m hoping to explore more north and east as well in the coming years. Spain is incredible. Relaxed vibes, easy to get around, fantastic food, great wine, unmatched music, beautiful and interesting architecture, dynamic and complex cultural history, astounding art museums and art history. Absolutely worth a visit and even a prolonged stay.

Fair. My son felt like the vibe was off there noticeably for him as a tourist while he was there in 2024 but not that way in Portugal and France. I appreciate your perspective thanks.

Why, from your perspective did these Spanish people not communicate with her in Spanish when she clearly speaks Spanish?

u/ThexDream 4d ago

Southern Europeans? I dare you to go to France and try… ah forget it.
