🇪🇸 Spanish Customs & Traditions: What to Know Before You Go! 🇪🇸

Spain is a country full of vibrant traditions, deep-rooted customs, and a relaxed way of life. Here are some key cultural insights to help you blend in like a local!

🥘 Meals Happen Late – Lunch is the biggest meal of the day, usually between 2-4 PM, and dinner is often not before 9-10 PM! If you're hungry earlier, tapas are your best friend.

🛍️ Siesta Is Still a Thing (Sort Of) – While big cities keep moving, smaller towns still follow the midday break (around 2-5 PM), meaning some shops and businesses will be closed.

👋 Greetings with Two Kisses – In informal settings, Spaniards greet with dos besos (starting with the right cheek). Men typically shake hands or hug if they’re close friends.

☕ Coffee Culture Is Strong – A café con leche is for the morning, and cortado or solo (espresso) is preferred later in the day. Don’t order a cappuccino after breakfast—it’s a tourist move!

🏛️ Loud & Proud – Spaniards speak passionately and love expressive conversations. If it sounds like an argument, it’s probably just a lively chat!

🎉 Fiestas & Traditions Rule – From La Tomatina (tomato fight) to Semana Santa (Holy Week), Spain’s festivals are colorful, historic, and sometimes wild!

💶 Tipping Isn’t a Big Deal – A small tip (rounding up or leaving 5-10%) is nice but not expected, especially in casual places.

🇵🇹 Portuguese Customs & Traditions: What to Know Before You Go! 🇵🇹

Portugal is a country rich in history, culture, and warm hospitality! Here are a few key customs to keep in mind when visiting:

👋 Greetings Matter – A handshake is common for first meetings, but friends often greet with two cheek kisses (right side first!). 🤝💋

🍽️ Dining Etiquette – Bread is often served at restaurants before the meal, but it's not free—it’s added to the bill unless you refuse it. Always keep your hands visible at the table. 🍞🍷

⏳ Punctuality is Flexible – Arriving a few minutes late to social gatherings is normal, but for business meetings, be on time! ⏰

☕ Coffee Culture – Ordering a “café” means an espresso. For something larger, ask for an "abatanado" (similar to an Americano) or a "galão" (milky coffee). ☕💛

🏛️ Respect for Tradition – Fado music is deeply cherished, and silence is expected during performances. The Portuguese also take pride in their heritage, history, and family values. 🎶🇵🇹

💶 Tipping Isn’t Mandatory – While not expected, leaving 5-10% in restaurants or rounding up the bill is appreciated. 💰
