Spanish Culture

Local foods to try are Tapas, Gazpacho, Seafood paella, Jamón Ibérico, Tortilla Española, Flan, Café con Leche, and Sangria.

Some information on local culture in Spain is that meals start late and can last for hours, and it is impolite not to finish everything on your plate. Female friends greet each other by kissing each cheek starting with the right, men can hug, and acquaintances shake hands. Expect people to arrive up to half an hour late to dinner and parties. Spaniards stand very close to each other when they talk, often interrupt each other and prolonged eye contact can be considered flirting.
