Language
Spanish (castellano) is spoken everywhere. Catalan is the first language of many in Catalonia, Valencia and the Balearics; Basque in the Basque Country and Navarre; Galician in Galicia. Answering in Spanish is fine; a few words of the local language are appreciated. English is good in hotels and tourist areas and patchy in bars and small towns.
- In Catalonia, signs and menus often come first in Catalan: 'sortida' is exit, 'tancat' closed, 'carrer' street.
- Spaniards speak fast and loud; that is enthusiasm, not anger.
- Use 'usted' with older people and officials; 'tú' is fine with younger people and in bars.
Etiquette, safety and scams
Etiquette
- Greeting: Two kisses on the cheek (right then left) between friends and when introduced socially; handshake in business; avoid: Being stiff — Spaniards stand close and touch arms
- Meal times: Late lunch and dinner; long sobremesa (chat after eating); avoid: Rushing to leave or asking for the bill with the last bite
- Noise: Join in the lively conversation; avoid: Reading loud voices as anger
- Siesta hours: Keep noise down in residential buildings 15:00–17:00 and after 23:00; avoid: Phone calls to people at lunch time
- Dress: Smart casual in cities; locals rarely wear shorts in Madrid in town; avoid: Swimwear or bare torsos away from the beach
- Regional pride: Ask about local dishes and festivals; avoid: Assuming Catalan or Basque are dialects of Spanish
Scams and watch-outs
- Bus schedules may be reduced in winter; check the line 714 timetable.
- Some chapels have limited opening hours in off‑season.
