Spanish is the regional language of Spain. English is also widely spoken
here. Over a period of time, Spanish people have become modern in order
to gel with the changing times and are no longer conservative. But that
hasn’t changed the values, traditions, manners and customs of the locals.
People here have two surnames; the first surname can be used to refer to
the person. To greet someone, a handshake will do the job. Take a small
gift along when visiting someone’s house.
Save the flowers for special occasions. Dinner is generally taken very late
at night. People wear casuals most of the time. Men are expected to wear
jackets at some restaurants. Swimsuits should be confined to the pools
and beaches. Recently a ban has been applied on smoking in public places.
