I live in what would be considered a tourist area of Spain with alot of tourists visiting and expats too. You would be suprised at how many Spaniards dont speak English. When I first moved here I just assumed that nearly everyone would speak English, how wrong I was. A little phrase book is really handy I have found.
Spain is more than bullfights, flamenco dancers and crowded beaches. It's a spectacular and diverse country.These regions remain diverse in their language, culture, cuisine and art.Spanish people are very open-hearted and comunicative.Excellent and quiet beaches.
