    Refusing food... please say something like "no puedo más" and lots of compliments for the delicious food... but no puedo más means basically you're so full you can't eat anymore. "Pero está muy rico" (but it's really good!) EDITED to correct- "Está buenísimo" may sound more Spanish, according to Susana below. 🙏🏽

    I literally have been living in Córdoba for about 20 years by now and most of what he's saying is either trivial or not true. First, nobody likes their food to be called inferior to food from other regions. Food in Córdoba is really great (Salmorejo etc.) but I had lots of people here not liking some of this and nobody got mad at them. The superstition thing is ridiculous, they are all taken with a grain of salt (and very much so), nobody really gives a shit, really, unless you are clueless and someone wants to make fun of you, nobody really cares. Civil war? Nobody gives a shit! Just don't be a simpleton about it, get a bit of education and you can take either side of the discourse. Cloth? Yes, there is a bit more of a dress code in Spain than in other countries, which is a good thing. However, when I'm on the coast I tend to go to the beach without a T-shirt. My wive doesn't approve but otherwise nobody cares. You shouldn't go to a restaurant like this, but that's common sense, right? Basque country, Catalonia... if you know what you're talking about, you can talk about it, if not, you're just making a fool of yourself. Siesta is awesome... you're a fool if you don't do it. Gibraltar? Might be touchy, yes. Here's the thing though, Gibraltar doesn't want to be Spanish (at least right now) the same as Ceuta y Melilla don't want to be moroccan (right now), and that's the end of this discussion. Come to Córdoba, it's awesome!!!

      None of these things are a big deal, even though they do contain a grain of truth and are pretty universal in the first place.
      And as I replied to someone else here, I'm British (¡The Enemy!) and have had the occasional discussion about Gibraltar but no-once really cares or even thinks about it.
      It's a non-issue....

    You are so right about the food. I was in Spain with a friend and they offered us a sample of Jamón Ibérico and she said, "Oh, no, no, no. I hate ham." I gasped and said to the guy, I'll take it, I love jamón and even better if it is Ibérico. Then, I explained to her why not say out loud the things she doesn't like to the Spaniards. For instance, she doesn't eat tomatoes, pork in any shape or form, olive oil, seafood, paella, zucchini, artichokes, olives (any color), etc. In other words, all the food that Spaniards are known for which begs the question why did she even go there. In any case, I finally said to her, well, you can eat napkins. They always have napkins in the bars and restaurants. 🤣

    The Spanish "superiority" over the former colonies is something that is luckily fading away. While there are some similarities in the cultures (The Spanish were there 400ish years after all), it's not all the same.
    To the English speaking world, it would be like saying England and Ireland, USA or Canada are the same, which they clearly aren't. Similarities? Sure, but the same thing? Nope.

    A Spaniard will only serve you food if he has invited you to lunch or dinner. If an American invites you to lunch or dinner at his house, are you going to go and tell him that you don't want to eat? Tapas are not prepared in homes, that is what happens in tapas bars. By the way, there are restaurants that do not serve tapas. Siesta, Do you know how working hours work in Spain? Do you know the split working schedule? The most common in offices and companies? You stop for two hours at midday to pick up the children from school take them home, eat with the family and bring them back again for afternoon classes and go back to work until 7 or 8 in the evening. There is no time for a siesta. That is real life, not a tourist's dream.

    About rejecting food: the way to go is to lie through your teet, without shame or remorse: "Ay, no, muchas gracias, es que acabo de comer hace 20 minutos" (Oh, thank you very much, but I just had lunch like 20 minutes ago). No offence taken, everybody saves face. Normally that is the moment your stomach chooses to growl in the most spectacularly loud way possible, but don't worry, the other person will fall victim to an acute case of instant deafness right there.

    I studied in Sevilla for a semester in late 2007, and seeing La Plaza de Espana, La Torre de Oro, and the Cathedral brought back so many great memories! (I still have pictures of the gorgeous mosque-church in Cordoba.) In addition to the food, history, and culture, the part that I loved the most was taking the AVE from Sevilla to Madrid. I'm SOOO ready for the U.S. to get true "high speed" rail, especially here in the South!
    With regard to Catalonians , my senora thought that they were very arrogant (just her take on them🙂). Of course, as an American from the South, I think the same sometimes of some New Yorkers and Bostonians, but I guess people in different parts of each country have opinions about people from other parts.

    In Spain, just like in the southern US they have a bit of honor culture. It is not like islamic honor culture but it exist and you need to be aware of it because many Spaniards don't fully understand themselves what the effects are. A typical effect of honor culture is that people get offended more easily, they experience more stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol when they get offended which will produce more potential for violence and heart attacks. Typically a Spaniard might appear very angry the first few seconds but if you just keep cool headed they will probably have forgotten all about it within a few hours. Which is completely different from lets say a Scandinavian where there isn't honor culture at all, people get angry very slowly but once you have an angry Scandinavian you have a problem because that won't go away.

      If your American, they say we learn Mexican Spanish, but Mexican Spanish is from Andalucia Spanish. The Castilian Spanish doesn't have the S and Z sounds even if the letter is there, like in the word Badajoz. Castilian Spanish is spoken in most of the country of spain.

    RE CIVIL WAR Heck! In the U.S. South some folks are still arguing about the Civil War as they rewrote the history to maintain Jim Crow. The battles still continue. RE FRANCO Many argue that Franco was far more cruel than his friend Hitler. Franco persisted with his oppressive, cruel regime for 40 years and now that he’s been gone for 50 years we still don’t know where all the bodies are buried. His cruelty was unparalleled and many of us are still living with the consequences of his horrors. So Americans, unless you thoroughly understand Spanish language, history and culture, it’s best to listen and be silent on this topic.

    "Spain" should be on their knees, thanking every single tourist that deigns to come to their country.

      Pues sucede que 85 millones de turistas vienen de rodillas en peregrinación a España a comer malas paellas, sangrías y jamón barato. A precio de oro. 😂😂😊

    well just by watching the news they showed a sign of annoyance while spraying tourists with water bottles and chanting tourists go home.

    Nope, if you say that Colacao is better you my get some trouble in Catalonia, Nesquik is Catalan. Here we have two teams: Team Colacao and Team Nesquik, so if you choose one of those you'll definitely offend someone. However, if you choose Cacaolat, which is Catalan too, you will be fine. Both teams LOOOOVEEEE Cacaolat🙌🏽❤️.
    P.S.: I'm team Nesquik because I don't like lumps in the milk🤷🏽‍♀️ and Colacao has them, in fact it's his trade mark, what it sells them.

    One think offends locals it's bad pronunciation of names and places, like, as Catalans we might understand you will have some difficulty pronouncing towns like "Castellfollit de la Roca" or "Massanet de Cabrenys" for instance, but he are tired to here everyone talking about Antoni Gaudí disregard the stressed syllable, especially when it has an accent that is pointing it out like "GauDÍ" and the other one is "anTOni", not "ANthony GAUdi"

    Oh man, Mark was the last one standing-- but it appears even he has fallen to the dark, soulless void of sponsorship...It was a good run!

      @benchupisco It is all in good fun, and I'm sure I would do the same if YT was one of my revenue sources. I'm just pointing out that WW was a pleasant anomaly in this regard. In fact, I don't think I've come across another "big" channel that doesn't do sponsors, so this one was really the last hold-out, which is quite impressive.

      We have done sponsorships before. But we only do them with brands we actually use or believe in. Hence why you dont see too many sponsored videos on our end. Probably 4 to 5 a year. So 5 out of 500 videos from all of our channels isnt too many.

      @@woltersworld ​​⁠I know you didn’t say it but you and your team have programmed the message to pop up. I hope you don’t take this as being rude. I’ve been subscribed and following you for a long time since I moved to Portugal 16 years ago and I love your videos and personality. I’m just a little grumpy because I had a bad dialysis session today and it just bothered me. One pop up is enough because you’re doing an amazing job.
