The Spanish culture is rich, colorful
and mysterious. Yes, the Spanish culture and lifestyle differs
tremendously from that of the other European countries,
and UK. There are so many different attitude and character
traits that might even seem a little offensive and blunt
to people from other cultures, especially the Brits. But,
this is who they are and this is exactly how they are. This
is the beauty of Spain!
