What do English People think about Spain?

Question

(I'm spanish, just being curious)

Answer 1

Great country,great people,alas the place is sometimes spoiled by British "yobs" and "chavs", please accept my appology for this

Answer 2

I think Spain is a top place, the weather is a lot better than the UK, there aren't cctv cameras watching you everywhere. you pay less tax than us, It's cheaper to live there. The transport infrastructure is massively superior to the UK's. Siesta's are very civilised. The food is healthier. The people aren't as xenophobic as the majority of British are.

Come to think of it, why the devil am I still living in England???????

Answer 3

I think its close to Portugal

Answer 4

i love spain ..goin on holiday there on sunday cant wait...whats the weather like thier at the moment?

Answer 5

Are you Spanish, welll Personally i would like to go there on holiday. and have a happy life there question answered!

Answer 6

Its hot, dry and mountinous.  

People like football and don't work much in the afternoon.

People tend to have a socialist and catholic outlook, but are not evangelical.

Your infrastructure has been paid for by our taxes, but with enlargement thats going to change.

Food and wine is good, but not much variety.

The Spanish fisherman are very unpopular with the English.

Spain appears to lack ambition, which is curious having once been a super power.

Answer 7

Dry, barren, dusty, too hot,ugly landscape, cr.ap drivers,too many different nationalities, unfriendly and xenophobic Spaniards, too many south Americans ( thieving bas.tards), too many gipsies (thieving bas.tards). Not enough real Spanish food in the resorts, tapas too expensive, beer now too expensive ( Spanish beer is horrible also). Bull fights, goat drops, chicken drops, bull runs ( in short - gross animal cruelty).  Hope that helps!!

Answer 8

I like Spain, its mountains and cities. However, its coast, once beautiful, are being treated with greed. Spain is losing the beauty of its coast in the name of tourism.

On the other hand, Spain is a great place to eat, drink and drive around. As the Italians and Greeks, Spaniards are enjoyable people.

Answer 9

.......i havent got words

VIVA ESPAÑA¡¡¡¡

Answer 12

I love it so much I moved here.

Answer 13

Well I'm not english, but I would love to visit spain. But if i do, it would probably be to protest bullfights. If they no longer had those, I could have a much more desirable vacation there.

Answer 14

Dirty, hot & full of sleazy waiters trying to cop off with rough old northern birds

Answer 15

The English Love your Country and People.

They like your weather, your food ,your very cheap booze and cigarettes and you try and make them feel like being at home (even though some English people can be very demanding and very rude.)

Answer 20

Most English people know very little about Spain and their opinions are based on going to an average package hotel near the sea.

Most do not speak the language and so are surprisingly ignorant of what the locals think and do.

My main complaints are that your stupid lack of an effective immigration policy is building up great problems for the future. You have high unemployment but still let in thousands of uneducated immigrants. Their children will not accept low conditions, pay and expectations.

You let in too many foreigners who refuse to integrate and will, when they get older, put an impossible strain of your health services.

Your greed has destroyed much of the beauty of Mediterranean coast line.

The good?

Real Spain is still only 100 metres from the main road.

The 'ambiente'.

The food.

Cost of living is still lower than in the UK. Especially council tax.

Answer 21

We love you, your country, your climate, your friendly culture and occasionally your football!

Answer 22

Answer 26

xxxx :D

Answer 27

I have been to most parts of Spain and the people are GREAT!. Just got back from Northern Spain, and had one of the best holidays for ages. Pity N.Spain is not made more aware to us here in the U.K. A visit to Santiago De Compostela is a must!!!!!

Answer 28

a beautiful, fascinating country with great food and lovely people. Interesting architecture and fabulous hidden away places to find when on holiday.

(just got back from a week in Guadalamina, fantastic!!)

Answer 29

The Basque Country has been my home for the  last 14 yrs. I have travelled all over the rest of Spain. I`m pretty happy here. I think the Spanish lifestyle has a lot more to offer than the British. My son is Spanish.

(One "pega" Spanish people can be more rude on a daily basis than English people. )

Answer 30

Viva Espana! Soy Inglesa y llevo 16 anos en Espana. No mi gusta volver a Inglaterra nunca. Mi yerno es Andalus.

Tengo una preciosa nieta de 5 anos..

Vivemos en Benidorm

Un saludo

Answer 31

well 2 million English people now live on the Spanish Costas and millions more visit as tourists (it is the most popular destination for British tourists) so no matter what people may say on here, you can be sure that most English people like Spain very much!

if anything it's the lower class English expats/tourists that spoil it a bit.
