Flamenco
●

● There are other regional dances: In Madrid, it’s the chotis; in Galicia, the muiñeira; the jota in Aragón and the sardana in Catalonia, just to give a few examples.
● You can see here young traditional music in Galicia.
● No, we don’t. This dance is native to the south of Spain.

Bullfighting
Actually, bullfighting is quite controversial in Spain.
There are anti-bullfighting associations throughout the country, and in regions like Catalonia and the Canaries bullfights are prohibited.
We are lazy and take naps daily
● We cannot take one every day (we wish!).
● This painting's tittle is “La siesta”. The author was the spanish painter Ramón Martí Alsina.SOURCE: WIKIPEDIA
We eat paella everyday● Paella is a Valencian rice
dish with ancient roots that originated in its modern form in the mid-19th century near Albufera lagoon on the east coast of Spain adjacent to the city of Valencia.SOURCES: text: www.wikipedia.org picture: www.flickr.com
We eat paella everyday● Not even close. It’s
common in Valencia, but every region has its own cuisine and its own specialities. If we had to choose a national dish, it would undoubtedly be the Spanish tortilla (which consists of eggs, potato and onion).SOURCE: www.flickr.com
And not only tortilla...
● In Galicia, my region, we eat empanada, “pulpo á feira” octopus, galician sausage, caldo and lots and lots of seafood.

And even not only drink sangria

Actually we prefer wine or beer or simply water. Sangría is for tourists or for picnics in the countryside with young people.SOURCE: www.aguasdemondariz.com
We eat tacosThis is not Mexico. We may speak the same language, but that doesn’t mean that we eat the same food
