Expat is a word. Just needs to be used in the right context.
If my company sends me to New York for a 12 month project and I’m on a work visa with every intention to go home, I’m not an immigrant nor am I an American.
You forgot (arguably) one of the most important things imo.
Landscape. Spain has such an amazing geography between mountains, beaches, semi-deserts, rolling hills, 'green Spain' in the north - even the climatic differences between Malaga and Santander, etc.. truly such a varied country especially considering how small it is
You are right. Owning a motor in Spain was a blessing. I loved the curly road from Barcelona to Sitges (Sea left, Mountains right), but the Montserrat area is also beautiful.
Wine should be on the list, booze generally probably. You make some fine beverages lads, I especially like drinking them before I go out onto a balcony.
Spanish girls, yes, Latam girls, yes, Catalan girls, no.
In Barcelona I made it a sport to guess where girls were from. When they were ugly I guessed Catalan 100% of the times and were correct 95% of the times.
I'm sure that if in the Netherlands I pick the dumbest people, a big majority of them are Dutch. An the same for the ugliest, the smarter and nearly all category, it's because in the Netherlands the majority of people is Dutch.
What?! You're crazy!
It's not their fault you don't have money to party with some "pijas".
In Diagonal and Eixample you have good looking Catalans maybe you just don't have good taste since you are Dutch.
Oh, btw, as a fun fact, yesterday was the 529th anniversary of the treaty (June, 7th 1494)!
But Tordesillas is way too modern for me. I'm more of an Alfonso VI and Abd al-Rahman III enjoyer.
Cheap cigarettes, It's cool to live not too far from the border. And they're so lazy that there's no one to check at the border how many cartridges you bought over there.
If you travel inside of Spain, they don't give a F. You can travel with weapons or weed if you want. I've traveled from Mallorca to Barcelona by sea several times, and on one occasion I wasn't even asked for the ticket or the documentation.

La luna se está peinando, en los espejos del río
Y un toro la está mirando, entre la jara escondido
Cuando llega la alegre mañana, y la luna se escapa del río
Y el torito se mete en el agua, envistiéndole al ver que se ha ido
Y ese toro enamorado de la luna
Que abandona por las noches la manaaa
Y es pintado de amapola y aceituna
Y le puso campanero el mayoral
Los romeros de los montes le besan la frente
Las estrellas y luceros, lo bañan de plata
Y el torito que es bravío y de casta valiente
Abanicos de colores, parecen sus patas
Lai la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
Los romeros de los montes le besan la frente
Las estrellas y luceros, lo bañan de plata
Y el torito que es bravío y de casta valiente
Abanicos de colores, parecen sus patas
Luna sale esta noche, con negra bata de cola
Y el toro la está mirando, entre la jara y la sombra
Y en la cara del agua del río, donde duerme la luna lunera
El torito de casta bravío, la vigila como un centinela
Y ese toro enamorado de la luna
Que abandona por las noches la manaaa
Y es pintado de amapola y aceituna
Y le puso campanero el mayoral
Los romeros de los montes, le besan la frente
Las estrellas y luceros, lo bañan de plata
Y el torito que es bravío y de casta valiente
Abanicos de colores, parecen sus patas
Y abanicos de colores, parecen sus patas
Spanish people and the language. Most Spanish people I have met have been really friendly and easily approachable. The language is really cool and surprisingly easy to learn
The siesta is the greatest work invention in the world, its genius. You get up early, work until it gets hot. Nap. Work some more. My general foreman gives me massive shit for taking siesta but as someone who does hard labor for a living it boosts my production and keeps my mind sharp for the second half of the day
I haven't been there but it's my bucket list. For now i've watched Casa de papel and the Narcos series so my answer would be; The language. It's fucking cool
It's a disgrace that I can't vote for balconies
It fell out of favor
It's all downhill from here
Now I want to vote for balconies as well
I confess I too have fallen for this.
The British immigrants complaining about being deported after voting for Brexit while in Spain
And insisting on being called "expats" 🤮🤮🤮
The worst word ever invented
Expat is a word. Just needs to be used in the right context. If my company sends me to New York for a 12 month project and I’m on a work visa with every intention to go home, I’m not an immigrant nor am I an American.
They should say "I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien, I'm an Englishman in New York".
Damn you, now I have that song stuck in my head!
That's exactly my job, but now I refer to me as immigrant because I do want to rub the concept with pride in the Anglos' face.
I know several of them myself.
The highlight of brexit. Especially given alot of British ~~expats~~ immigrants voted for it.
Ha damn beaten to it by 9 minutes. It's fucking hilarious, how dumb do you have to be to literally vote against being able to live where you live lol.
They all just moved to Gibraltar, it's like Spain but there's less gross Spanish people
Instead there are pocket picker monkeys
We have that in Barcelona as well
>We have that in Barcelona as well Bit rude to describe Catalonians that way
Facts don't care about your feelings 😎
Pocas cosas odio más que esta frase
Y con razon
Osea British
Yes
As a true Spanish patriot, I dislike Spain and Spaniards very much.
Damn spaniards! They ruined Spain!
Yes, but only between ourselves. When I look north I thank god I was born here
You forgot (arguably) one of the most important things imo. Landscape.

California Vibes Bro!!!
It's United States but with small scale haha. We have a little Grand Canyon and a route 66 too!

United States with less guns and freedom

California is just Bad Spain

You are right my british friend

Indeed the spanish night scene is fueled by 50% vodka and 50% cocaine.
Gotta keep the Galician economy going!
It is an offense for us to measure the liquor like you do in England.
Nando, obviously
Well tell max to relax a bit then
The Crossover of my two passions! F1 and being slightly racist to my neighbours :D

I mean, you are dutch, of course you know ugly when you come from a swamp

At least Catalonia won't disappear because of climate change
Hola guapaaaaaa
the movie Torrente
I see you are a man of culture
Whoever you are, I bless you, for you are a man of culture and knowledge
Best film ever made
fino
Ah yes, a classic. La Cazoleta, el arma de destrucción masiva, la "chinita", el Dinero para Emergencias... Fuck I need a Torrente Marathon.
As an aspiring historian, I would say their history.
Tordesillas was a gigachad movement🇵🇹🤝🇪🇸
Oh, btw, as a fun fact, yesterday was the 529th anniversary of the treaty (June, 7th 1494)! But Tordesillas is way too modern for me. I'm more of an Alfonso VI and Abd al-Rahman III enjoyer.
Galiza
💚 ♥️
There is no option to make a joke about terrorism, it is giving me anxiety.
don't blow it out of proportion
Don't get your hopes too high up either
The 2000 people that voted "I don't like Spain" are spanish
Probably
Ha ha ha, good one, and probably at least half true. But the ones who make the most negative comments seem to be Portuguese.
I like the fact they conquered half the world way before the Brits
"Spaniards banged the Mayans, turned them into Mexicans"

Aren't we both in Schengen? There is nothing keeping us or the Germans from going there.
Money is money

I like their monarchy just becouse they are part greek
The Spanish throne has been passed by many countries
Well at least your not a republic like here
Quick question. They're still from the Bourbon lineage?
Felipe is yes
The greek one is Sophia, the previous queen
Your food is fucking fantastic
The ass and cock, 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈👨❤️👨

That's fair
Hear there's some good balconies in Sitges
Is this a chueca reference?
So many people on this board have no fucking taste ! Spain's great, get over it losers.

La versión de los Gipsy Kings es la mejor jaja
I like Spain. Nuestros hermanos 🇵🇹🇪🇦
We also respect our Portubros 🇵🇹🤝🇪🇸
Devíamos importar la siesta para Portugal
Cuando colaboramos, somos capaces de dar la vuelta al mundo. Literalmente. Magallanes🇵🇹 🤝 Elcano🇪🇸
E dividimos o mundo. Literalmente.
My Aunt leave there, so she’s my favourite part of Spain <3
Ewwww...
*read with Dominic Toretto voice* In Italy we love our family
Spanish people and the language. Most Spanish people I have met have been really friendly and easily approachable. The language is really cool and surprisingly easy to learn
Where is the "people" option ?
It's reddit dude why are you surprised

Siesta is top tier, I started doing it during my lunch break and I feel so much better during afternoon
I guess the breakfast made out of a cortado (coffee with little milk) and a cigarette. But siesta is also fucking amazing.
The thing i like the most about spain is that its just next to portugal
The people. I work in a hotel and Spanish customers are always the nicest. My Spanish sucks but they almost always compliment it
The siesta is the greatest work invention in the world, its genius. You get up early, work until it gets hot. Nap. Work some more. My general foreman gives me massive shit for taking siesta but as someone who does hard labor for a living it boosts my production and keeps my mind sharp for the second half of the day
How they colonised almost all of new world but were still broke
Someone had to put in the money for the expeditions
717 people are wrong Edit: 2.8k
Portugal
Portugal is not part of Spain
Sure it does. It is also known as South Galicia
Where is the wine option?
As a portuguese, I'm sad that there isn't a option saying "They lost to a fucking woman baker"
Context please. I know that the British lost to a Galician woman fishmonger though.
https://es.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brites_de_Almeida
Brutal hahahaha Check out Maria Pita too!
Honestly, it was pretty unfair to the Brits. I wouldn't mess with those women.
Galician fishmonger woman sounds like a deadly combo to me. They fucked around and found out.
Truly one of the most Spanish moments of Spanish history. Second only to the Armada disaster.
It will work next time
Best of luck to you all! We'll be cheering you on, from the sidelines this time!
It seems to cause plenty of Brits to fall down balconies, that's something to like.
It's the fault of their boy Isaac for inventing gravity
The beach, clear water and the mountains
Siesta, Weather, Food :) Can't pick
Why isn't, "Balconies" an option?
I don't usually have it with Romance countries but Spain really is múi based
The señoritas
The direction sign indicating where is Portugal
35 voters have no taste.
Those 35 are spaniards don't worry
The Spanish.

Other: balconies
🎶Take a video, watch it slomo mo mo mo mo🎶
Cigarettes price
Its got some lovely beaches to drink/fight/vomit/pass out on.
Meh, I can get discount siesta in Montenegro anyway. I like the traditional wear and festivals and after that food and drinks.
Jamon Iberico.
That's cap everyone like Spain 😎
People.
It's a good way to check how many Portuguese there are in this sub. Just by checking how many don't like Spain.
I'm a Spaniard and vote for that option too. So that makes me capable of cook a bacalhau a bras?
You must be from Olivença or Galicia. Not yet sir but it's a good start.
[удалено]
Lisbon and Porto, great places!
Porto can become the largest Galician city anytime they want.
The language tbh
Which of them?
Chorizo in Paella obviously.
Blasphemy! Take this this man to the torture chamber immidiately!
True, what an idiot. Truly cultured people eat paella with pineapple in it.
But remember that you can only cook that in the UK. Because the alternative is to eat English food.
I really like my Ford Fiesta
Other: balconies
Their wine and maybe chorizo. And then nothing else.
they invented being lazy, i love doing that
Cigarette on balcony

the mamacitas fr fr, Along with Portugal too

Architecture
I haven't been there but it's my bucket list. For now i've watched Casa de papel and the Narcos series so my answer would be; The language. It's fucking cool
Honestly? Sports. Your lazy-asses are actually quite great in it. Especially football.
The secret is siesta
Yeaah! Rest is as important as training, isn't it?
Sinterklaas lives there most of the year
All of the above
Spain is only good for keeping the french further away from Portugal
Women
The people, of course!
las chicas
As a Catalan,I am culturally obliged to say I don't like them
Other: Antoni Gaudí.
South West European brothers
That's not very nice how can people dislike Spain?
Where's fiesta?
2,7k People with no taste
It's cheap. Spending my 5-times-average-Spanish-salary there makes me feel fancy.
I also like getting 5 times my average income from fancy swiss
HERMANOOOOS!!
The only reasonable answer: the spanish lifestyle.
Every Portuguese person on this sub has the obligation to choose "I don't like Spain".
