¡HOLA, COMUNIDAD!

Have you read our article on things you should know about Spain before your mobility programme? If you haven't yet, I encourage you to do so, as you may find useful information for your forthcoming/current trip. 

I'm interested in knowing your thoughts on the blog post. 

Is there something you didn't know that surprised you? Are you already in Spain and can relate to any of the fun-facts given? Do you want to add something you experienced regarding the local culture? 

Let us know by replying below with your comments and/or questions! 

¡HASTA LUEGO!

¡Hola!

Acabo de leer el artículo del blog y creo que es muy útil para mí, especialmente la sección sobre el clima, porque voy a ir a Navarra.

Además, soy italiana y también en mi País es muy importante la cultura del café, porque representa un momento para descansar y socializar.

¡Hola, Laura! Estoy contento de que te haya sido útil. Navarra está entre las seis comunidades autónomas españolas donde más llueve y los inviernos pueden ser fríos. ¡Pon ropa de abrigo en tu maleta!

En cuanto al café, cuando llegues a España, me gustaría saber tu opinión. Muchos/as italianos/as dicen que nuestro café no es tan bueno como el vuestro. ¿Será verdad? Cuando lo hayas probado, estaría guay que compartieras tu experiencia aquí :-) Además, una diferencia que he visto es que nosotros/as no tomamos el café tan rápido como vosotros/as haha.

It was fun to read that a rainy day is a valid reason to bail out on a friend. I assume in other countries too, but in Denmark we say that there's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes (der findes ikke dårligt vejr, kun dårlig påklædning).

Jonas we have that same saying in German (es gibt kein schlechtes Wetter, nur schlechte Kleidung), maybe it's a northern Europe thing where the weather generally is not as good as in Spain.

Yes, it must be, because I met a few Norwegians who were throwing this sentence at me every time I would complain about the weather haha. Enjoy the sun, guys!
