Kinda surprising to see the French guy saying that we're proud from our culture because some of us feel that they're the ones being proud of their own culture and art xD
he was giving major le pen voter vibes with that comment and the one of civilization, so if my assumption is correct I wouldnt be surprised he think that way
@Carlos, what surprises the French when they go to Spain, to Quebec, to Russia, to Poland, for example, is the National flags everywhere, all the time, it is not very much the case in France where there is no big Nationalist propaganda since 1950 France.
I think "the Frenchman" did not raise a really important point.
They're worried about offending people too much
A French guy telling that French people are *ashamed* to be French is indeed either an Alien with a French accent or a Le Pen / Zemmour voter.
Totally agree I’ve been living in France for 5 years and all French I know are proud of being french and I love it
We went from Sweden on vacacion to Tenerife in 1999. Two week was enought. We moved to Tenerife the same year and are now spanish sitizens. We will vote agan this Sunday. We love Spain.
Spain is the milk !!! ✅
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lets hand it to the French guy speaking perfect English and dropping in a flawless Spanish sentence into the conversation. Americans take note!
He said he was learning Spanish. Of course he's practicing what he's been learning & what he said in Spanish was relatively easy Spanish. French is close to Spanish so it shouldn't be too difficult compared to other languages.
@@je.suis.eva. You have completely glossed over the fact he already speaks two languages fluently (English and French) and he is learning a third and he's still at Uni / college. How many Americans speak two languages let alone three, you need to do better. BTW I also speak and write 3 languages.
I'm American and have been living in Spain for 6 years y hablo perfectamente castellano. I learned it in 6 months and speak it daily since all my friends and spouse are Spanish. So not all Americans are alike 😉
@@Kaisforeignadventures I agree, some people take the time to enrich themselves experiencing foreign people and destinations, more power to you. But the vast majority of your countrymen are self obsessed narcissists who do not even realise there are other countries and would never dream of visiting them. Aussies rule as the travel tourists of the world, Americans need to 'do better'.
@@pauls3075 i have to agree. I've met a lot of Americans and English people who have been living here for years and can't order food in a restaurant 😕
This French guy has a self-perception of France that people from outside don't have... In fact, what people usually see from the French people is this kind of chauvinism that usually leads to make people think they are really proud of being French the way they are.
Agreed
Well I was like what the fuck! we French people are actually very proud of our cultural heritage, history, language, food. It is however true that people do not display French flags as it is seen as being too nationalistic. This should not being mistaken as shame. As our former president Charles de Gaulle once said: " France ne peut etre la France sans la Grandeur (France can not be France without Greatness)"
the guy is just ashamed of being himself...he thinks he can escape himself being somewhere else geographically. That's sad. I think French culture is the greatest.
Chauvinists always think they are not "chauvin" enough. 😂

That's so fascinating that he said Spanish people are proud of being Spanish! I think that depends on the city. I imagine in Madrid there is a different pride already with that city being the hub for football, tourist culture, museums, etc. But I can tell you that my friends from Andalucía would probably not be as vocal about their pride as the madrileños.
I suspect part of it is a matter of seeing it from the outside vs seeing it from the inside. Like if you asked a Spaniard whether French people are more proud of their culture than Spanish people on average, they'd probably say yes without hesitation
I feel like Spaniards have a similar pride about their country as Mexicans (in my experience, as a Mexican living in Spain since I was a teenager): they actually don't have the best "self esteem" as a country, and sometimes seem to look elsewhere to praise other ways of being, tend to complain about how shitty x and y things are in their countries, BUT as soon as someone else questions it they get very defensive lol. And even unprompted some people can be very "nobody else does this like Mexico/Spain". It's not really like American patriotism where a lot of people genuinely believe their country is the best ever.
Well, I'm born and living in Andalusia and at least where I live people are proud of being Spanish. But yeah, compared to the capital is logical that they are more patriotic or whatever you wanna call it
As in many other places around the world there's a national populist resurgence in Spain. Many many people in Madrid have spanish flags on their windows and balconies as a political stand against the socialist goverment and against memorialist laws design to recognize and repair the dictartoship victims. Which the nationalist right still won't clearly condemn.
I as a madrileño born & raised don't share this patriotic national catholic spirit either. I detest football too.
Madrid night life is the best though. Food unites us all.
As for the french man I wouldn't reject he could be a patriot too, according to his discourse.
@@chetingerx what does having Spanish flags in the window with a protest with the "socialist government"?? What a stupid comment
as a person who has traveled to 35 countries and lived in 9, all over the world, I can say Spain is my favorite. The people are so friendly, open and above all funny! The food, the culture, the weather is all amazing, especially in Valencia, where I live today.
Thanks. You're so nice
They’re friendly if you’re not brown or black.
@@ComeBackKid1 cry me a river

FYI Spanish people do not get up late, we get up just like the rest of Europe, we usually start work at 8:00/9:00. We ate late cause we eat more in between and we come late out of work cause we have free hours at midday.
In fact, people still believe that we always get up and go to bed late, which is why we have double the population in tourism (the second on the planet), being the second largest car producer in Europe and the 9th in the world, the one with the most bars on the planet, a multitude of companies at the forefront of infrastructure worldwide by turnover on all continents, the world's leading producer of olive oil and table olives, half of which are consumed from Spain, world leaders in organ donation by 30 consecutive years, the second high-speed network in the world behind China, the third country in the world in km of highway behind China and the USA, one of the best public health services in the world, the largest producer and exporter of vegetables in Europa, and world ranking, public transport, also in the export of military material and a long etc.
All this is achieved by sleeping a lot and getting up late
Spain 47 million population and the half sleeping 😂
@@Juan-xg4kr A mi no me tienes que convencer, Españita mejor país del mundo. Tenemos una cultura super diversa, buen tiempo, naturaleza y paisajes de todos los tipos, uno de los países más grandes de Europa, la esperanza de vida más alta del mundo después de Japón, gastronomía increíble. Lo único es que económicamente no somos muy fuertes, pero no es algo anormal teniendo en cuenta que el sur de todo siempre suele ser más "pobre", y la cultura de trabajar en B y explotar a los trabajadores tampoco ayuda a la economía.
Si se levantan tarde en comparación a otros países de America, por ejemplo, que hay que estar en el trabajo-centro de estudios a las 7-7:30 am, comemos mas temprano y cenamos antes, también comemos otras cosas entre medias, pero son costumbres distintas, ninguna esta mal, son solo costumbres
@@andreamiguel9895 ¿Ok? Lo que hagáis al otro lado del mundo no tiene mucho que ver con nosotros, estaba comprando con el resto de Europa. Los colegios empiezan a las 8. Estar ahí a las 7 me parece una hora totalmente extraña, sobre todo por las horas de luz.
@@andreamiguel9895 Costumbres diferentes si, ahora bien, puede generalizar si quieres y abarcar todos los trabajos a las 7-7:30 pues tampoco creo que sea así, ni allá, ni acá.
Acá en la obra o cualquier albañil (por lo general) no empieza mas tarde las 8:00 y normalmente a las 7:00 o incluso antes.
No hablemos de fabricas que tienen turnos ininterrumpidos o algunos empiezan bien temprano 6:00 o 7:00, carpinteros, electricistas, mecánicos, bares, etc. no mas tarde de las 8:00am
Yo ahora tengo horario de oficina y entro a las 9:00 (muy reciente) pero toda mi vida he estado entrando a las 7:00 y 8:00, de mecánico, de camarero, etc.
Muchos bares abren a las 5:00 o 6:00 AM para dar servicio a los trabajadores en ciudades y polígonos industriales, muchos.
Que los españoles empezamos a las 10-11 a trabajar como muestran algunos gráficos y noticias es una mentira como un piano de ahí el dicho "tiene horario de marques"
El horario escolar de de niños de 6 a 12 años esta mas o menos equiparado en toda Europa.
Respecto a universidades etc. si que la cosa cambia y es un poco mas dispar y abarca desde las 8:00 hasta incluso las 10:00
Si es cierto, costumbres diferentes, desayunamos flojo por lo general, almorzamos entre el desayuno y nuestra comida (que es el almuerzo de ustedes) merendamos y cenamos, 5 comidas en muchos casos.
También hay que tener en cuenta que tenemos un horario que no nos corresponde y cambio de horario invierno-verano.
Cita: la España peninsular comparte huso horario con países como Francia y Alemania. ¿Por qué, si geográficamente correspondería otro? ¿Tiene algo que ver con las costumbres españolas, como la de comer tan tarde? El origen viene de Franco, y la respuesta es que sí.
Un saludo.
No puede ser. Un Francés que me cae bien, incluso se atreve a usar el poderoso "Spanglish" introducción la palabra "pueblo" JAJAJAJA que me supongo que la traducción aquí sería "village". Magnífico 😂

I'm American and have been living in Spain for 6 years. The biggest culture shock for me was eating dinner so late. Took me a year to adjust to that 😂.
😂 the dinner is so late because is not an important meal, actually it should be very light, the main meal for Spaniards is the lunch at 2 pm which is heavy strong and contundente so it keeps you full the rest of the day and you don’t get fat because you’re burning the calories during the day . All the opposite with countries where supper is the main meal quite heavy in the evening and you don’t have the change to burn the calories because you are resting at home and probably straight to bed few hours later,. That’s one of the the reasons why Anglo-Saxon countries has a huge problem with obesity .
@@BR-ub2lc i agree. I'm used to it now. When I go to the U.S. to see my family it feels weird to eat dinner at 19:30
@@Kaisforeignadventures To be fair though, that is probably healthier for your sleep. Tbh It's kinda hard having a decent sleeping schedule as a Spaniard.
@@mikel2976 I always sleep late, but I think you're right.
@@BR-ub2lc No, this obesity issue is because of the poor quality of the food, not the time it's consumed.
Love Spain ❤️ the people were so warm-hearted that I wish I could carry that warmth with me back home and be as friendly myself 🥰
A French guy saying that French people are not proud of their country? I thought it was the other way round. They are even proud of Picasso as a "French" painter ...(!!) 😂
As a french we all know that picasso is from spain
@@Shiliitexx I heard some time ago that Picasso, in France, was seen as "a French painter of Spanish origin". Similar case to Haendel, who is considered an English musician. Whereas in Spain we all know that "El Greco", as his name suggests, is a Greek painter who worked in Spain, and the same with Scarlatti and Bocherini; nobody think they are Spanish although they lived many years here, but we all know they were Italian.
you forgot Leonard de Vinci and Marie Curie all French forever !
@@jeanclaude7555 I don't think italian are agree
@@Shiliitexx It was not my expectation that you would agree. It should be however pointed out that Francois I gave him the esteem he no longer had in Italy.
I'm from Spain. I have always lived near Barcelona and last year I went to Madrid for a Muay Thai seminar, for 3 days. You can trust me when I say that Barcelona and Madrid are like day and night!
Both have good and bad things, but Madrid is more akin to my personality; everything is more spacious, the air is not as contaminated, the white color and architecture of the buildings are very top level, and you can see a lot of families, all well dressed, enjoying the local parks and stuff.
Whereas Barcelona feels closer, more open, and kind of... Like... I don't know... Easier? Madrid feels more responsible, less chaotic, etc.
In conclusion, Barcelona is perfect for a more open life with the possibility to live many different experiences, and Madrid is ideal for a chill life with good people around you. That's my conclusion but let me know if I'm mistaken!
I'm not a city guy though, I prefer the town where I live :P
Conozco las dos ciudades aunque no vivo en ninguna. Opino lo mismo, Madrid es fantástica, cada vez que voy la veo mejor y la gente un encanto. No me canso nunca de ir.
Barcelona es la ciudad del momento si quieres ser apuñalado o robado como poco
Madrid is way more contaminated than Barcelona.
"The air is not contaminated" hahahahahahahahah! mate, what the f* are you talking about, Madrid is one of the worse cities in europe in terms of pollution. And you seem to describe Madrid is for "well dressed" sunday church style families (posh and catholic?) and yes you might be right, in madrid is full of conservative folks, you see it on the election day. 🤮
Creo que la gente es mas abierta y hospitalaria en Madrid, a pesar de ser una ciudad mas grande que Barcelona. En Barcelona la gente me parece mas fria y distante.
I went to Spain for a week and I went to Madrid, Toledo, Granada, and Sevilla. In Madrid, I ate dinner at a relatively normal time, like 7:30. The streets don’t really stop moving and it is bustling at around 2-4, which I didn’t expect. In Granada and Sevilla tho, most restaurants didn’t open for lunch until 1:15 pm, and we had dinner a lot later, like 9:30-10:00 pm. It was pretty cool to see how different regions of Spain differ from each other
In all Spain its common to have dinner at 9.30 or 10, but in the most massively touristic places its common that restaurants offer dinner earlyer for tourists
Oh Toledo is beautiful. Also, that's what I like about Spain. Some places are pretty alive even in the afternoon and evening.
Granada and Sevilla don't eat dinner any later than Madrid lol. Madrid was just more accommodating for tourists so it had guiri dinner times available, but most madrileños usually have dinner at around 10 on the early side. I think sevillanos actually have dinner a slightly earlier and that madrileños and granadinos later but it's not big difference, just my experience
You haven't been to spain if you didnt come to Barcelona, get back here once you've completed that task and tell me how it went.
It's really not a regional thing, you just happened to be in more tourist accommodating areas 😊
One of my places to go is Spain. My parents are from Puerto Rico y me gustaría visitar la madre patria
5:30 pm dinner? We're just finishing our lunch's sobremesa at that time
Their dinner time is more of a culture shock for most of us europeans than the other way around. 😄
@@module79l28 i mean after 5:30pm there's still like 4 more Sun hours, obviously we would be getting hungry again before going to bed lol
Spains likes to do things a little bit late reminds me so much of how this country influenced the Philippines. Our dinner mostly starts at 7:00PM and people still go out at 11:00PM to party.
I think it would also be a good Idea to ask folks like myself who have been living in Spain for over 20 years what we think about Spain.
Here another one. Where do we start?
go ahead, It's always interesting to know the opinion of people from other places who was used to have different lifestyle and then on a sudden everything changes after settle in a new country
@@lyuxia The reason why it’s useless is the fact that the vast majority of Spaniards can’t handle criticism and definitely not when it comes from a foreigner. Let two of them have a typical discussion about politics and if a foreigner joints the conversation, just confirming their points, within 5min they are defending Spanish politics. A inferiority complex disguised as Iberian pride. A non self-reflecting society who only knows to blame ‘the other’. Driven on envy and very hypocritical. If you point this out they mainly stick to whataboutism and ‘tu quoques’ because they’re so easily offended it ain’t funny.
@@lyuxia I should. I will
So tell me, what do you think about Spain?
I miss Spain and Europe so much 😭
I would not be surprised the Spanish people are proud of their culture. I found them very easy going and flow with easy happy lifestyle. The streets are so clean and cars park in proper manners. Want to go back for more.
We are proud of our culture, but we aren't proud of our flag in the sense that kid meant it. The flag is a symbol of the extreme right. That kid is probably adept to Le Pen's ideas.
@@jal051 La bandera no es un simbolo de la extrema derecha. Otra cosa es que la izquierda de nuestro pais y el PP se hayan siempre avergonzado de ella. Que poco has salido de España para decir esa tonteria.
@@nuriam7169 ¿El PP avergonzarse? ¿Esos que han puesto una bandera gigantesca en Madrid? Tú debes ser de vox por lo menos.
@@jal051 that's bullshit.
@@jal051 It is only a symbol of the extreme right in the minds of radical leftists. Regular people are proud of their country, their history and culture.
I had some co workers(from the US) coming to spain for work a month ago. They're here for a month and they absolutely loved it! The food,the people,the nightlife,the lifestyle,the calmnes and enjoyment of the people living here...some of them are even looking forward to come back for a good while.
La que dice que nos levantamos tarde y hacemos las cosas tarde que pille el metro a las 6 de la mañana....
Ojalá pudiéramos levantarnos más tarde pero va a ser que no jaja.
No se porque piensan eso la verdad
Estereotipos por todas partes
En algunas zonas de EEUU no es raro que se levanten a las 4-5 y se acuesten a las 20 h
Cosas de la arbitrariedad de los usos horarios
Más que estereotipos es algo que tiene que ver con la luz solar, en otros países a las 5am el sol alumbra lo mismo que aquí a las 8am, y atardece mucho antes, por eso nosotros tendemos naturalmente a hacer las cosas más tarde, mientras que en otros lugares es normal despertarse a las 5, comer antes, cenar antes y ya para las 7 u 8 es completamente de noche por lo que se acuestan antes también
@@Jorge-ux5eg como los comercios abren la majoria a partir de las 9 o 10, no la hostelería, se piensan que el resto igualz además cuando cierran al mediodia insisten en afirmar que es porque nos vamos a casa a dormir la siesta así tal cual, y aunque les digas que no es lo que afirman, luego hacen vídeos y sus compatriotas se lo creen y aunque lleven 3 años aquí lo siguen afirmando 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I'm actually surprised at the similarities between my culture (Morocco) and Spanish culture. When I first moved to the US and would have to go for dinner at 5:30-6 was insane to me, in Morocco that's the time for "Le gouter/casse croute" which is essentially a second breakfast but late in the day, actual dinner is 10-11 pm. We also do everything later and love our siesta (nap) after lunch before going back to work. It's crazy, I love Spain, my favourite country in all of Europe.
all middle east is like this which isn't great tbh imo being an early bird adds more barakah to your day
Hiii I'm morrocan too
@@onegirlmusic Morocco (and the Maghreb in general) isn’t as extreme as the Middle East though when it comes to night time. Whenever I go to the gulf, people seem to stay up till the wee hours of the night way past midnight which I understand since the days are so hot I guess. I agree with you though, I wake up extremely early every day and it’s much more efficient that way
Morocco and Spain have many things in common. The influence that the Arabs have had for hundreds of years in Spain has evidently left many similarities, especially in Andalusia. Greetings from Sevilla :)
Not true . Spanish culture is heavily Greco roman and Christian Catholic heritage based. I mean, similarities with morroco in what? . In ham, wine, Catholic celebrations ? (the greatest Catholic holy week celebrations worldwide by the way are in Andalucía, lol). Plus, our idiosyncrasies are way too different so are our societies. And that's the reason why morrocan inmigrants have hard time integrating and they hardly ever embrace our culture. To make it short, we have more similarities with any LATAM country in culture despite the distance, than we will ever have with the 'next door' neighboor Morroco. That being said, the closest countries in culture and traditions, are Italy, Portugal and France (with a big plus for southern France). By the way dinner time is more a mediterranean and daylight thing than a spanish thing, + it's also due to wrong time zone (Spain should have same time zone as Portugal).
Spent two months in Spain last year going again this year for another two months. Love the Spanish Culture. Me from the USA
It is interesting that the french guy thinks Spanish people are proud to be Spanish and the French don't. My perception as a Spanish person is we are proud of the way we live, the food, the approach to life but we are not proud about anything else, like Spain as a country, our achievement as a country, etc.
He’s from Paris.
Which very sad. Most spanish people are incredibly ignorant of the history and achievements of their own country. But I guess that happens in many countries.
Spanish history in the New World is very rough. What the Spanish did to the indigenous peoples in the Caribbean, central and South America, the Philippines, is not something to be proud of. And of course Franco and his fascist ways, 😢… But other parts of your culture that are incredible… the music, the food, the visual arts, the fight for independence within your country is something that you should be proud of.
@@Buttercup697 what? Spain was the country that treated the indigenous people best. Why do u think in LatAm there are lots of people with indigenous traits and in the USA there are not, UK killed them, almost all of them. Also Spain invested 80% of his economy in this territory.
lol you know nothing about the colonialism then bc spain was the only country that breed with indigenous instead of slaving and wiping them out @@Buttercup697
Me encantan vuestros vídeos, y el tono de las entrevistas en general.
As a Brit, totally agree with the comments about weather and food; both are far superior in Spain.
maybe the guy from France meant patriotic/nationalistic? Bc the French are very proud of their culture

Yeah with the increasing number of right wing supporters I thought the opposite lol
@@felipeperalta-lopez7491 is the increase of right-wing-parties-supporters noticeable in the everyday life?
I totally agree this was lost in translation, we are very proud of our culture but Flag carries a negative connotation (nationalism).
@@jeanclaude7555 interesting! In Germany it’s viewed extremely critically to show the German flag (expect for football championship) due to our history.
haha that french guy is really parisian, he's speaking about Paris, not France, if he goes to the south close to the border with Spain, he will meet warm welcoming people
anywhere outside of Paris.
Excelentes entrevistas. Gran vídeo.
The french guy is right in a way, i understand his point...just one thing for him, the journalist is Argentinian not Spanish
I imagine it is hard to tell for non native speakers whether someone is argentinian or spanish.
French ashamed of being French??? Come on! French people are REALLY proud of their culture. In fact, they protect and buy French culture (literature, cinema, gastronomy) much more than we Spaniards do. I think the French guy is totally wrong, showing flags has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with being proud of one's own culture. Showing a flag is just a stereotypical way of being patriotic.
Good video. Thanks for posting.
I love Spain and I hope one day I will visit Spain.

About driving, if you are from a big city, you see things in a different way. If you from LA or NY, you'd see things in a different way than an American from Midwest.
My first visit to Spain was in the late 60's, people were always friendly and polite although the younger ones of my age were chafing at the bit of the dominant ultra-conservative, ultra-Catholic culture. My biggest shock on returning in the 2000's was the proliferation of ugly graffiti everywhere on all buildings, and also people of colour to be seen and accepted everywhere, in a formerly lily-white country...and that's a good thing, BTW. Oh, and, no more 'porteros' to let you into your building late at night. But the people are still great !
Ye after the franquismo era ended in 1975 Spain ended up joining the EU and globalizing and it became developed. And immigration obviously came with that. Also I've never heard Spanish people described as lily-white lol they're tanned like Portuguese Italian Moroccan Greek Lebanese Turkish, course there are exceptions tho😉
Yes, well I should have said the country was totally Caucasian/European. Alicante, 1966. There were rubias/os in Andalusia but I saw NO persons of colour at all, not even Moroccans. Barcelona 2008 was a contrast as I saw more than one Spanish couple with an adopted Asian child here and there, plus African street vendors, etc. The Franco regime was pervasive, when I went with my Spanish pals to a bar or cafe, we could always detect the not-much-undercover cops. I was nearly shot once by the Guardia Civil as I was riding along the beach highway at 1 AM as my motorcycle headlights had cut out and they thought I might be a smuggler. I am still very disappointed at seeing all those graffiti everywhere, marring the classic architecture. Saludos, BB @@nicolasreynoldsdominguez5109
@@brunobandiera2062 right I know what you mean but Moroccans are not people of colour lol I don't know for sure whether there were many of them during the Franco regime or not but you wouldn't have been able to tell the difference between them and Spanish people unless they were wearing Muslim clothes, they look very similar, which is my point I'm not saying Spanish people aren't white but like many north Africans, people from the Levant region of the middle east, and of course south Europe (so Mediterranean people) they wouldn't be described as lily white. They're tanned, dark hair, dark eyes. If you consider Moroccans people of colour then Spanish people are too lol, and there definitely weren't any significant amount of blondes that came mostly after the regime just like the subsaharan and Asian immigration
@@nicolasreynoldsdominguez5109 Us similars to Moroccans and turks? I mean there are very white moroccans but clearly not the majority, and we dont look like them. I'm not offended but I just think that what you said isnt true
@@el_nesto1844 eh there is more Arabic blood in them but they don't look strikingly different its only marginal. If there was a Spanish is a LOT more similar to a Moroccan than to a German for example. And on an individual level, many many many Spaniards look just like Moroccans. My family for example we look more Arabic than many Moroccans but are actually fully Catholic. It just comes from the Arabian conquest.
I'm not saying we are identical but to say you didn't see a single Moroccan during the Franco regime is stupid, because 1) Spanish people look Moroccan so how would you know? and 2) There were moroccans

A ver lo del calor si vives en el norte (Asturias) no es así jajaj y lo de por la noche ir tarde cuando fui a usa en miami tb se cenaba relativamente parecido a ahora en hora
Aparte que España sigue sin estar en la zona horaria que le corresponde.
The french guy is seeing that spanish nationalism and proudness bc he is in madrid, but he wont find that if he comes to the north. You wont find a spanish flag in the basque country
Claro k las encontrara. Aunque halla menos se ven banderas
@@oiermontero2310, haberlas las hay, cierto, pero ya te digo yo que en el País Vasco te encuentras antes con un jabalí por el monte que con una bandera española.
@@arkaitzetxeandia7542 pues yo no me he encontrad9 un jabali desde hace 3 años y veo banderas de españa todos los diad
@@oiermontero2310, pues no sé en que ciudad vives. En mi entorno la única bandera española que uno puede encontrar por mucho que busque aparece solo en el DNI.
that's only a small part of Spain and even in the Basque country you'll see spanish flags.
Good video ¡Hola! from a rainy Glasgow. ☀️
1:38 Funnily enough, I'd say precisely the opposite (and I've lived for many years in both countries). The French are incredibly proud of their country and culture. The Spaniards are quite self-deprecating.
Yo estaba flipando al oírle.
✨People of the Pueblo✨
In Spain you can find many Spanish flags on the Windows or balconies from 2017, before this date it used to happen the same as this boy says that happens in France.
The reason is that in the year 2017 Catalan Nationalists declared the independence from Spain, and many Spanish people were afraid of the end of our country and reacted against it with the flags.
A chuletón around 9pm😅yummy but insane! Still getting used to !❤
The French guy saying he lived in a Pueblo really confused me as a New Mexican. Pueblos here refer to Native American tribes and their land, coming from Spanish of course (New Mexico was first colonized by Spain, at least in terms of European colonization). I thought it just meant “people” there, since they don’t have, say, Taos Pueblo or Zuni Pueblo. I had to google it. 😂 All I could find was it means people (obviously), town, or village, so I assume he’s talking about a village. 🤷🏻♀️
Me encanta España y también la gente de España x
For people who were born in the US, the name of their country is "America",what a mistake!
The name of their country is not America,the name is United States OF America, which is different!
America is a CONTINENT!
Unitedstatians…are in their US of A bubble 🤪
Can't blame that on people from the US. The French, British and Spanish started calling their colonists Americans.
Latinos be like:
United States of Mexico = Mexicans :)
Federative Republic of Brazil = Brazilians :)
Kingdom of Spain = Spanish :)
United States of America = NOT Americans
Not in English, sorry. In English, "America" refers exclusively to the USA. If you would like to refer to both of the continents together (because there are two), in English you must use the plural: The Americas. Native speakers of English have no problem with this distinction.
America = USA
The Americas = North America + South America
The problem is that it collides with a demonym which already existed and referred to anyone from the American landmass. There are documents from the 1800s, from when a demonym for people from the US wasn't clear and they were trying to establish one. In particular, there's one document written by Samuel L. Mitchill, a US senator, in which he clearly says that American to refer exclusively to people from the US shouldn't be used because the demonym belongs to everyone in the landmass. Obviously, nobody paid attention to him and we have this issue these days.
2:30 But in France, movies like Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis or Mission Pays Basque ( although this one is full of stereotypes) show that there are strong differences within the people of the same region. It happens the same in Spain as well.
Could you tell us what microphone is the one you are using?
1:53 “we French people are ashamed of being French…”
I’ve never heard anything more relatable haha
@Francesco , The France is the only country in the world since 1950, where a citizen can say this without being punished,
@@fern8580 Nah
Ashamed? What for ? Why ?
As they should
For their frenchness I suppose.. idk ask to the guy
5:46 You sound like you're from Latin America. That R is screaming Colombia or something :)
She is, but I can't identify from which country.
I have no idea but i've seen people saying she is from Argentina. She doesn't sound very argentinian to me but maybe she's been to many year in Spain and changed her accent.
I would say she has an argentinian accent.
The Spanish have such a relaxed culture it’s interesting I’ve been many times to the mainland this year will be my forth
The Spanish army occupied large areas of Germany, the north, south and east of France (including Paris), Montenegro, Cyprus, Malta, Monaco... Spain also passed through areas of Switzerland, Austria, military settlements in Denmark, Corsica and Russia . And parts of North Africa like Tunisia, Algiers, Oran, Libya. The Spanish army also landed in areas of England, Ireland and Scotland. We were in the British Isles in various invasions, in 1377, 1380-81, 1411, 1595, 1597, 1603, and 1718.
Casi todos coincidian en que somos simpaticos y respetuosos. (Para los que digan que estamos en un pais racista).
Yo pienso que España es el país menos racista de Europa, considerando que ha habido conquistadores negros. Sin embargo, en todos los países hay personas racistas.
@cattnex pero si estuviéramos en un país racista serían racistas igual sean del color de piel que sean
@cattnex bueno yo es que la xenofobia y el racismo lo veo igual de mal e igual en concepto
@@cattnex pero que dices, que veas 4 videos de mierda en twitter de los cuales 2 estan sacados de contexto y de ahi extrapoles a que en España hay mucha gente racista... bastante ridiculo por tu parte.
@@cattnex te recomiendo salir un poco a la calle y apagar el movil que se nota que tienes poco contacto con el exterior.
1:39 😂 PARDONNE-MOI?! This is certainly not the general perception of you guys, even if you haven't French flags everywhere.
Si bueno, son amables con ellos porque son turistas, seguramente si trabajasen en una oficina tipica española su opinion iba a ser bien diferente.
thanks for letting me be part of this!!🫶🏼
Lo de open-minded en España, depende...no hay más que ver los bandos políticos y la gran diferencia. En cuanto a la gente nice, hay de todo, gente amable y gente muy maleducada.
Puede ser por la facilidad de ver estos bandos. En otros países están, pero por lo general no se menciona la política ni con amigos es un tema muy delicado. Sobre gente nice, es por qué en otros países la gente por lo general es distante y a veces maleducada, pero por aquí suelen ser amigables los que son amables. Y los que no pues bueno 😂 es lo q hay
So funny about the french and flags, i thought spain was the only one
hey what camera you guys using i love the colors!
Thanks a lot! We use a Sony A7S III.
I love Spain 🇪🇸💯🏆 My favorite city in the world is Barcelona and I’m from new York. Barcelona es la mejor ciudad del mundo.
2:00 Spaniards are European and Latin and the same time.
Spaniards are European, not latin
@@uptown_rider8078 Please explain why.
@@KalipoWars Because Latin would refer to Southern Americans nowadays, and Spaniards aren’t southern American. If you’re referring to European Latin, then it wouldn’t make sense to say Spaniards are European & Latin, cause you’re just saying Spaniards are European & European
@@uptown_rider8078 Oh, I see. You are confusing "Latin" with "Latinamerican" (which doesn't refer to Southern American countries only. also to North and Central American countries like Mexico or Honduras). It's a common mistake, very extended in some countries.
As you say, Spain is not a Latinamerican country, since it is not American. However, it is a Latin country since it received the cultural an linguistic heritage of the Roman Empire, which had its origin in the region of Lazio (Latium in Latin).
Accordingly, Spaniads are not Germanic, nor Slavic, nor semitic, etc, but Latin. Since "Latin" and "European" are not synonyms, the last part of your messages is nonsense, take into account that most Europeans are not Latin.
Best regards.
@@KalipoWars That’s why I didn’t know which context you used the word “Latin” for, and why I made that distinction. Also, Spaniards and Portuguese are a mix of Celtic and Germanic, with some Latin mixed in there as well. We have several cultural influences and descents.
0:39 yes, but which country of america? Canada? Perú?....Chile?
I doubt that someone from Argentina, Peru or Chile would agree if someone referred to them as "American" despite the geographical sense of it. So come off it😂
France ?
4:48 This reminds me of 'As Bestas'.
what camera do you use to record
Sony A7Siii
The guy said he is from America. LOL. South America is also America. You have to say I'm from The United States. Even saying I'm from North America is not specific because Canada is also part of North America.
Then he is still from America.
And the Brazilian girl said being Latino and European is very different whereas the original Latinos are European. It's not like Latin was created in South America...
But this, as usual, an issue with the US and the senseless nomenclature they've spread all over the world.
@@MsBimbobear Being Latino is indeed very different from being European though, so different. She is absolutely right.
@@veravero80 Yes. But, not being specific does not answer where he is from. It's like you saying "I'm from Latin America" when someone asks you what country are you from. You understand what I mean ?
@@yonasco14 Latino isn’t a race, it’s cultural. They’re a mix of Europeans and native americans. And she is mainly European, just look at her hair. When you meet real Native American it’s real easy to see. Look the places with the most Native American is probably yucatan, Mexico,Andes,Bolivia Peru in the rural areas. She is most likely Italian/German Spanish from the city
From America 🤦🤦🤦
Denle clases de geografía
a siesta between 2 and 4 O_O love it
What about the shoulder bumping and people taking up all the space on the sidewalks, what about the long staring for no reason while riding the metro, bus, at a waiting room.
"Big difference between being Latino and European". People need to look up words in the dictionary more often.
South American Latinos think about a cultural perspective, not a language one. I am European and Latina 🙂
Except she obviously meant latino as in from Latin America
@@maximipe I wouldn't bet on that.... But it's possible
@@BARROSORQUIDEA the funny part is that the term Latin America was only created in the 19th century and by the French as a way to justify their intervention in Mexico. You'd think we could come up with a better term for people with Hispanic culture...
@@BARROSORQUIDEA was replying to the og comment, agree with what you said
To the French guy... I'm sorry but not everyone loves Spain in here. actually, there's a lot of people that hate it
False
They don’t hate Spain, they hate the central government which is huge difference
Girly there are people who hate the Spanish people who destroy Spain, not Spain itself.
choca que un francés diga q allí no son orgullosos cuando tienen fama de ser super orgullosos de su nación - lo del aumento de banderas españolas es en contraposición al movimiento catalán de independencia porque no conciben posible que haya más de una nación en un mismo estado (nacion vasca, gallega, catalana) y mucho menos que quieran serlo efectivamente
2:50 qué raro, cuando yo fui a francia casi todo mundo (7 de cada 10 que me cruzaba) me saludaban por todos lados "bonjour!" "bonjour", las abuelitas, los señores, las chicas y los chicos jovenes y adultos... la verdad es que me descoloque un poco porque en españa nadie saluda a nadie, mucho menos las ancianas y adultos parece que estan dopados todo el tiempo con tranquimazin... a menos que ya te conozcan o te hayan visto de antes... No sé, todo es perspectiva.
Last minute cheap flights from Canada 😂😅 nothing is cheap in Canada or from Canada, rich funny girl 😅.
About the "American" guy, jut let me tell you something, America is a full continent. Do you mean from United States of America (USA)?
One of the most shocking things was the Frenchman saying the French aren’t proud. A nation state cannot survive without a national identity, absolutely that has to do with the demographics. You would never go into Africa or Asia and see people aren’t proud to come from their homelands. Only in the West people expect this
The brazilian girl suprised about the hours,I thought that if sthg Brazilians, Spanniards and we Argies have it's precisly that, from the possibility of a late meal, beer, ice cream and mostly whole night till day party if you choose that. She might be from some more rural and more little town alike place I guess
Im from Sao Paulo city and at least in my circle its not usual to have dinner aound 21:30/22 or even later. Meanwhile in Spain it is. It was a cultural shock for me at the beginning.
@@sabrinabueno3082 Really? I didn't know that. My friends rom Brasil that live here in BA have very similar costume regarding going out, meals and such. Maybe Sao Paulo is more americanized than Rio for instance?
The french guy was interesting every french friend I have is so proud of being french
I read a lot of comments centered on what this young frenchman said, that French were ashamed of being French. I can only surmise that he was referring to Flag which carries a negative overtone (nationalism). On the contrary I would said that we are aware of the achievements of our countries made in the course of the centuries and the influence we still have (despite not being an empire any more). I would describe this feeling by a famous quote of General De Gaulle: "France would not be France without greatness". Vive la République, vive la France !
"I'm from America" Se creen que son un continente
La brasileira cree que nació en Roma, dijo que los brasileiros son latinos 😂😂😂😂😂
To be fair, regarding the late times in Spain, Spain is really in the wrong timezone (it should be in GMT like the UK), which means the sun rises and sets an hour later then it should. So what seems to be an 8 pm eating time, if you go by the sun is closer to being a 7 O'clock eating time. In fact, Spain is further west then Britain, so it's really more like 6:30.
Most of western Europe shifted to the same time zone as Nazi Germany during WW2, and for whatever reason never shifted back. Realistically, Spain, France, the Netherlands and Belgium should be on GMT.
the french guy has a good accent in spanish. I was also surprised french are not proud of being french?, I thought it was the other way around
No se donde ha estado el francés. He flipado con lo de las banderas. Salvo en algún edificio público muchos españoles en general se avergüenzan de ella por que muchos piensan que es de "fachas" lo que es muy estúpido, pero así están las cosas.
Eso lo dirás por ti......y por cuatro perro flauta que como están todo el día con la misma cantinela.parecen más pero siempre son los mismos.
@@FranciscoGonzalez-dz2oy Pues no, no lo digo por mí. No siento la menor vergüenza por mi bandera. Me limito a constatar una realidad y es que a la mitad de los españoles, como poco, les desagrada la bandera por diferentes razones. Unos porque no se sienten españoles otros porque piensan que es de "fachas" y otro simplemente por pura ignorancia. No presupongas tanto sobre los demás sin conocerlos niñato.
Yo soy frances y si en Espana hay mucho mas banderas espanolas que hay banderas francesas en Francia.

Lo del francés me ha dejado loco. ¿Un francés pensando que los españoles somos muy patriotas pero los franceses no? Si tú le preguntas a cualquier español te dirá justamente lo contrario. Y también es porque está en Madrid, que aquí si podríamos decir que el nivel de patriotismo es de los más elevados de España sino el que más, si se fuera a Cataluña o País Vasco notaría la enorme diferencia.
Spring break in glasgow 😭
que alguien le diga al francés que aquí si estás orgulloso de tu bandera te tachan de fascista.
Porque desgraciadamente el fascismo se ha apropiado de la bandera. Yo como soy antifascista le tengo animadversión a la bandera por su culpa. Así de claro. Además son los falsos patriotas de la banderita que no son más que unos falsos y egoístas, un patriota de verdad *quiere* pagar impuestos en su país. Pregunta a un danés si se siente patriota y si le gusta pagar impuestos, si a la primera dice que sí, automáticamente sabes que a la segunda dirá sí
Me llamo João. Soy portugués. Soy cazador y aficionado tauromáquico. Me encanta Sevilla. Es la ciudad maravilla.
Efectivamente ❤ Aquí tenemos una cultura preciosa y la tauromaquia y la caza forman parte de ella aunque algunos la quieran negar. Pero créeme que realmente es una minoría porque todos los españoles aunque tengamos ideas diferentes somos muy respetuosos la mayoría 😍 Y me alegro de que te sientas agusto en la capital de la tauromaquia. Aprenderás muchas cosas. Por ejemplo, en Sevilla, en la Basílica de la Macarena las esmeraldas que lleva la talla de la Virgen fueron regalo de un torero muy famoso y podrás encontrar rabo de toro en los restaurantes (es exquisito, yo me quedé alucinada la primera vez que lo probé 😍). Yo soy catalana y aquí en Barcelona hay muchas costumbres que se han perdido un poco pero me gusta ir a Sevilla o a Madrid para empaparme de tradición
@@AV-wn5ys Gracias!
Yo lo que no entiendo es dónde veis la belleza en asesinar un animal innecesariamente y encima quererlo llamar cultura. En fin...
@@Talegoncita A palabras necias oídos sordos... Hay mucha cultura y mucha historia detrás... Es un espectáculo te guste o no. A mí lo que no me gusta no lo veo pero tampoco lo critico 😂 Hay personas que les mola salir de fiesta cada finde y dejarse su dinero en cubatas por escuchar reggaetón... ¿Me gusta? No. ¿Lo veo útil? No. Pero no me verás cogiendo a alguien que si que lo hace para insultarle 😂 Entonces a ver si respetamos un poco a los demás... 😘 Que aquí nadie le ha faltado el respeto a nadie
@@Talegoncita Respondo-lhe na língua de Camões. O gado é criado unicamente com o propósito de ser abatido. Para comer rabo de boi, é necessário matar um boi e cortar-lhe o rabo. A tauromaquia foi introduzida na nossa península e em França pelos Romanos. Foi através da romanização que os nossos povos celtas foram civilizados. A tauromaquia, sobretudo equestre, foi subsequentemente praticada pela nossa realeza e pela nossa classe guerreira, a nobreza, como prática marcial. Entre os plebeus, desenvolveu-se o toureio apeado. A tauromaquia é uma tradiçāo milenar enraizada entre as três nações celtas de cultura latina. Como a caça, o toureio faz parte da nossa ruralidade. A carne dos bovinos de lide faz parte da nossa gastronomia. A morte é o destino da vida. É impossível compreender a vida sem compreender a morte. Ars videndi culmina em ars moriendi. Goya e Picasso viram sublime beleza na tauromaquia e transmitiram-na. Ortega y Gasset elogiou a caça e a tauromaquia eloquentemente.
Very nice 🌻🌻🌼🌹🌸🌺
I’m going for forgein exchange I hope I can learn allot!!
I think the French people are VERY PROUD, VERY NATIONALISTIC! France and Germany have been invaded and conquered by other countries several times, so we have to stand up for each other!
