At first, a vacation in Spain is unusual for residents of Russian megalopolises - a measured course of life, unusual for Muscovites and Petersburgers, requires a kind of "acclimatization". Relaxing conversations in the grocery line are something you need to get used to if you want to spend money but save your nerves.
The Spaniards, regardless of the dense population of their city, are accustomed to a leisurely world outlook. Perhaps, Madrid and Catalans are a little to a lesser extent, but against the background of the eternally "stung" Russian tourists, they seem very calm. There is a version that there is a Spanish manual that recommends enjoying life in all its charms and difficulties.
Spain, if we ignore the endless disputes of Madrid with freedom-loving autonomies, one big family. Families among the Spaniards are excessively noisy, and large - you can do it the other way around.
However, you quickly get used to this peculiarity of national behavior, plunging into an atmosphere of friendliness. From this moment on, real rest begins - all problems and matters remain at a different level of perception, to which you can always return, but not yet.
This lifestyle also has its drawbacks. By giving preference to family pastime, many Spaniards sacrifice working hours and, accordingly, the possibility of a consistently high income.
The global crisis, of course, made its contribution. Unemployment has led to the fact that the very existence of a job is already an achievement and cause for pride, but many Spaniards continue to enjoy life in new, difficult conditions. The mild climate, reasonable prices and quality products are conducive to a positive outlook on the world.
The peculiarities of the Spaniards are also manifested in their attitude to the auto industry. If the Germans meticulously monitor the state of their personal car, becoming "slaves" of the vehicle, then the Spaniards first of all drive the car, regardless of any scratches, dents or cracks. The car drives - it means that the Spaniard will be pleased. Such is the attitude. Neighbors who parked their private cars too tightly smile at each other, and do not climb for bats. And we need to learn from the Spaniards such a manifestation of emotions.
