碇 シンジン 27,440 October 3, 2014 Share October 3, 2014 I don't follow much football/soccer, but I know that Spain has good football/soccer team. My only friend IRL took Spanish lessons so I know very little Spanish. Hola!. I believe that Spain is great country with beautiful cities. If I know correctly Canaria Islands belong to Spain and I've heard many people have been there for holiday! 1 Rarity Fan Club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparklingSwirls 21,601 October 3, 2014 Share October 3, 2014 I like Spain. I like all of Europe Spain has never been a country I've been obsessed with visiting, since it's kind of out of the way from Scandinavia, Germany, Belgium, and the places I /really/ want to go to, but I wouldn't mind going there once in my life. I'm sure it's very pretty. As for the language... I can't say it's one that I'm interested in learning (which I guess is a little surprising since I love languages spoken in Europe), but I will admit that Spanish sounds quite fancy. The last time I ate Spanish food though (some paella) I got a stomach ache. 2 ֍֎֍֎ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I know correctly Canaria Islands belong to Spain and I've heard many people have been there for holiday! Ah, yes, we're known for our famous football teams. I'm personally not interested in anything like that, but I can say I'm quite proud of most players in our teams. And of course, thanks to the fact we're at the East bottom of Europe, we always get visits from western, canadian and spanish-american people. Lots of tourists everyday. The last time I ate Spanish food though (some paella) I got a stomach ache. Huh. Paella is probably one of the best meals we do here. 2 Overlord of Darkness Signature made by: Astral Blitzen http://mlpforums.com/user/24786-astral-blitzen/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darker 1,352 October 3, 2014 Author Share October 3, 2014 (edited) Apparently it's not in South America. Weird, right? Yes... We speak castilian, the old way to call spanish. In Hispanic America they speak a more neutral spanish. As for the language... I can't say it's one that I'm interested in learning (which I guess is a little surprising since I love languages spoken in Europe), but I will admit that Spanish sounds quite fancy.

Wind Chaser 4,768 October 3, 2014 Share October 3, 2014 (edited) Being of Puerto Rican descent, many of us find the Spanish lisp amusing. I have to say, Spanish history is amazing, as was their empire before England got big, lots of their influence is still very apparent in the Latin American cultures even as they evolved independently of Spanish influence. As for Spain today, it still looks very beautiful but I heard the government went bankrupt not too long ago, and it doesn't sound very enticing to have been there at the time when there were riots in the streets and a youth unemployment rate above half. I wish I knew more of the language. Edited October 3, 2014 by Wind Chaser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DubWolf 18,666 October 3, 2014 Share October 3, 2014 Spain is basically the Iberian peninsula, and their Spanish is not quite like the one spoken in Mexico. I've talked to someone who was from Spain for 7 hours (flight), and we never had a problem speaking (except the fact that it was a bit loud). Would I go there? Not so crazy about it, but I don't see why I wouldn't ever want to go there just because of the language barrier . I had a friend go there last summer. Plenty of cool pics! Tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny slim chance I might go there, but it all depends if a Professor would want me goin', and if I didn't get the internship I needed.. 1 Sig by Wolf, Handwriting by SparklingSwirls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odyssey 5,719 October 3, 2014 Share October 3, 2014 I haven't been to Spain, but my brother went there this year and told me it was great. My brother went down there to study Spanish, but when he got the chance to do something else, he told me how great the place is, from the food to the capital city to the clothing and whatnot. My brother got me a jumper down there too. The jumper has to do with a college. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest October 3, 2014 Share October 3, 2014 @@Darker, I've lived in Spain for a couple of months, in Ronda to be more precise. Beautiful country, beautiful countryside, cuisine etc. Oh, and palm trees! I freakin' love palm trees! No wonder Spain is the number one travel destination for dane(s).

Not_active 732 October 3, 2014 Share October 3, 2014 I've been there, in Barcelona. It's four years ago now, but I remember it very well, especially since I visited the Sagrada Familia, the huge church still under construction there. I think Spain seems like an overall beautiful country, the music, architecture, food...I like the Spanish culture. 1 Ask me something: https://mlpforums.com/topic/116567-ask-ravelowif-you-want-to-3/page-2 <3 :* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darrala 269 October 12, 2014 Share October 12, 2014 I love Spain, i've been there twice now and loved it both times. The scenery and nature is awesome, the food is great and there's just some kind of a special atmosphere in there that makes me feel really happy just walking the streets.

daviddaviddavid 779 November 30, 2019 Share November 30, 2019 Too warm all year round, but great food, great culture, a lot of interesting history, and some cool scenery in the north.

Splashee 28,599 November 30, 2019 Share November 30, 2019 Have I been in Spain?? No, I was in France and watched bullfighting at an area that reminded me of Spain. I really don't have anything good or bad to say about Spain. I like the F1 track Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
