More baby Spanish like this please. I can understand this from my mongering days in Costa Rica.
>>60842409
That's because they want you to visit Spain instead of their countries.
>>60841976
Exactly.
>>60845279
Spain can be a better place without inmigrants (5 fucking million)
But is my opinion.
Which are the more green regions of Spain?? Every time I watch an Spanish movie everything looks kinda like Texas. As someone who hates the heat and humid weather which is the best place in mother Spain for me to live??
>>60845670
Like Texas? Mmmm,Literally Murcia. This year I go to there with my gf (music festival) and road trip
>>60845670
The Catalan Pyrenees region is like Skyrim, pic related.
All the north is extremely green besides some regions in Aragon.
>>60845806
>Murcia
>>60845670
Galicia is the greenest region.
>you will never be an Asturian warrior defending your land against mudslimes
>>60846783
Around this region started the Reconquista.
>>60846925
>>60846925
Praise Pelayo. This guy was based as fuck. He won impossible battles.
>>60846952
yes helo yes
wud u say spen is to very much ur liking?
>>60841260
spain has a homeless problem and a debt problem
Odd thread. I had Spaniards telling me Spain is awful, and then sending beautiful pictures.
>>60848180
Perfect place full of shitty people
>>60848775
I almost always hear the exact opposite.
>>60848789
Everithing is good for fiesta, but people are dumb as hell and poor. No motivation for nothing, no will. Only thing people do in this country is fiesta and politics steal and fuck things even more. The entire country is a Panem et circenses.
So you will hear fabulous things to come here and have fun very cheap, after all its a tourism country. But is a horrible place to live.
Excellent universities there, apparentely
>>60849054
Also, if you come here prepare for futbol 24/7
>>60849054
Dumb self-hating Spaniard without any kind of perspective.
Shit like that happens everywhere, not everybody abroad has a PhD in theoretical physics. And you really must be surrounded by the worst Valencianos or Andalusians or live in a gypsy favela to say this kind of shit like "it's a horrible place to live" or talk so bad about your people. Travel more, around Spain and outside, and you will understand better the situation of the country. Countries like Italy are more way corrupt and their situation is not really getting cleaner like here, where the police is doing a good work and the political situation is improving a lot, new parties are emerging and taking the parliament. The ecomony is stabilizing, we are the only country among the "PIGS" without being rescued or having EU bureaucrats on the government. Countries like France or the UK are riddled with crime and the first has constant terror attacks and now has the streets on fire (again) because of socialist strikes. The Eastern European countries are way poorer than us on nominal and GDP per capita and worse on HDI. And you must really think that the English hooligans in France are truly the mark of a superior and more intelectual people, "unlike the dumb as hell and poor" (sic) Spaniards as you said.
>>60848789
If you want to know something about Spain, this Spanish that I'm quoting is the perfect example of the disease that riddles this country: people that confuse legitimate criticism and wanting to improve the situation with self-hatred, self-hatred for the sake of self-hatred, defeatist morons.
And btw, 4chan is not the best place to ask, in any case, this place is full of autists and weirdos.
>>60849456
Thank you for the insight. Would you say Spain is worth moving to at the moment?
>>60841260
I'm an Amerifag who spent 2 months in Spain.
Sorry to hate on España, but I'll be honest about my time there.
It's not very pretty. The south is hot and dry and brown, and the north does have some mountains and forests, but in that respect Germany and Switzerland are both nicer.
The people were meh. They were nice enough, but Spainards are known for being a little arrogant. Italians can be loud and obnoxious, but they don't take themselves too seriously and have a good sense of humor about it. Spainards often take their pride a little too seriously.
The food is meh. Paella is really good, but that's about the only thing they have made. French, Italian and Dutch food is all way better.
So for the good: The people are very inviting and will bring strangers into their homes or have dinner with new people without reservations about it. The bars are fun. Madrid was fun. Gotta love the soccer culture. There are some very pretty women there.
I never went to Barcelona though. And people say that place is truly special. But I've seen a lot of Spain from Madrid downward.
>>60849727
You were in Spain for two months and never visited Barcelona?
>>60849707
As a tourist, always. But for living here, well, you shouldn't really move to a country you didn't visit before, and it's hard to find a job. If you are just a student who wants to pass a year here, you will be fine and have a great time if you mix with the right people.
>>60849820
Are there many jobs for teaching English? And concerning this, will it matter that I speak American English?
>>60847441
How much is Greece debt worth?
>>60849727
>But I've seen a lot of Spain from Madrid downward.
From Madrid downward and from Madrid upwards are two worlds apart.
>and the north does have some mountains and forests, but in that respect Germany and Switzerland are both nicer.
Where do you were in the north?
Spain has a mountain range bigger than Germany and Switzerland together.
>dutch food
You gotta be trolling.
>Paella
Meme food. But maybe you think we eat paella every day.
The last time I had a paella was probably 3 years ago.
You talk about the arrogance of Spaniards but you talk about Spain like you know everything about it because you visited it as a tourist, it's kinda ridiculous, seriously.
>>60849860
>Are there many jobs for teaching English?
I don't know.
>And concerning this, will it matter that I speak American English?
I doubt it, I had teachers who had English accent and others American.
>>60849995
All right, that is reassuring.
>>60849456
>Dumb self-hating Spaniard without any kind of perspective.
>but eastern europe is poorer
At least we are not as poor as eastern europe :)
>but Italy is more corrupt
At least we are not as corrupt as Italy :)
>but new parties are emerging and taking the parliament
A lot of improvements done for sure
>but he ecomony is stabilizing now
After long years of trash employement and the abusive politics that will remain
Lets be positive, we are not grece
>>60841260
Antifa wet dream.
>>60853827
Why?
Life is Spain is strange stuff.
If you want drink, f*ck and watch football is ok but if you want more... is the perfect definition of normie country. Everybody have their own group of friends, insults inmigrants in privacy but in public say they are good people. Have a shitjob but nowadays is ok because drink is relatively cheap... and thats all
Is a country for people who wants this have a normal life, boring, hypocrite , trying to be relevant with this social media shit..... in fact if you try to be different they are going for you in minutes.
Personally im boring of this and im quit, im going to go to the another extreme of the planet and start from 0, if i fail i dont care.
>>60841260
>ourense
>la coruña
What did they mean by this?
>>60849727
>soccer culture
its fucking football you stupid cunt
It's not bad living as a guiri in Catalonia. At least the food is great, fresh organic stuff from the local market. Don't know about when my money runs out, have to find a place to work.
The problems are the same as with the rest of Europe, transitioning from Christianity to, well in my case Buddhism, who knows, but in the meantime there's a corrosion of values. Really dig Catholic aesthetics, though.
>>60854112
go Poland, you can't fail here being Spanish
>>60856121
No. I dont want to die there
I dont have to apply here right?
Everyone talks about Sw*den anyways
>>60850271
this, unemployment is dropping and our country had a good empire.Spain is a pretty good country but underrated
Cuando os poneis en plan defense force dais un poco de vergüenza.
I am sorry to say this but I mostly disagree with my compatriots' ideas previously expressed here.
Statistics talk clearly. We are one of the countries with the highest standards of life in terms of life expectancy, nice weather, medical and social care inside the EU. We have a trouble with employment, sure, but real unemployment is much lower. Hidden economy works here at a rate you cannot imagine. Immoral perhaps but that's how it goes.
The climate is mild in general and we are in general non-racist and tolerant people.

Cómo van las cosas en El Salvador
An asturian here.
I talked a lot with people outside of here... and Spain, being a bad place, it's the better we can afford.
Yeah, politics are messy and shitty, i don't deny that and i hate the corruption like the most.
But, looking further the macro and more into the micro, if you choose good places like the relatively underpopulated (Galicia, Asturias, Extremadura, Teruel, Jaén) you'll find a good place to live. As i heard and seen of more big places, like Madrid and Barcelona, or the coast, you'll find a new definition of "social cold" there. While more tourist are, the worst it is.
That's how i see it.
I'm i'm a shitskin American muzzie who really likes Spain and has studied Spanish for a couple years, can I fit in?
>>60841260
Absolutely awful gun laws. Stay away.
>>60856121

And don't worry about your women, I'm too much of an autist to get one and I'll die alone.
>>60841260
I'm a foreigner living in the south of spain since september.
Renting is cheap, food is cheap and mostly ok, it's easy to find a job as an english teacher ( without any qualifications ), the weather is nice, people are very open-minded and chilled out, loads of history and arty stuff.
It could be heaven on earth if the language and the girls weren't so ugly
>>60847344
yes hello i lik bain
>>60868714
Uh yeah, and drinks are cheap, landscapes are nice and as a rule people are way more optimistic about the future
>>60868068
Como home, berber son
i always lurk these threads but today i speak
i think spain is a good country, with its flaws, but people/culture/food/landscapes are nice.
we also have really good memes
Brit living in Catalunya, going to list things that are better and worse than the UK.
What is better:
- The food is incredible
- Everything is cheap outside of Barcelona
- The people in general are much more friendly
- The weather is so much better that it doesn't feel fair to compare it
- The women are better looking than in the UK and like Brits
- People are quite open and accommodating to Brits, can't say if it is the same for other migrant groups but I have not faced any discrimination whatsoever and people seem very happy to talk about my country and often tell stories of relatives or friends who have worked in London (which for them is the totality of the UK)
- Very diverse landscape and cities, drive two hours in any direction and both the landscape and people seem quite different, drive six hours or so and it is like being in a different country
- People are laid back and as long as you aren't a total dick nobody cares what you do or how you act, in fact many Brits do act like complete scumbags and the people are still quite nice to them
- It is near to France and it is quite easy to visit
- Natural landscape is incredible, some awesome mountains
- Cool churches, some ridiculously old and mostly in tact
- Lots of modernist architecture and great museums
- Younger people tend to be more likely to speak English
What is worse:
- You will make less money in most jobs
- The beer is bad and it is harder to find beers at most bars that are not San Miguel or Estrella
- It is hard to find good food that is not Spanish
- You have to learn two languages instead of one if you really want to fit in, not sure if this is true in the other regions
- Shops close for hours in the middle of the day and sometimes don't open reliably after that
- Public transport is a joke outside of Barcelona, it is irregular and often buses or trains just don't arrive with no warning or explanation afterwards
I think it's more or less a decent country.
The good:
- Food. You may think "lol who cares about food", but I think it's very important. Food is a big part of your life, you interact with it several times every day and it affects your health, your enjoyment, your pocket, etc. In Spain there is a lot of cheap, high quality natural foods that are also super tasty.
- Weather. You also may think "who cares, I'm an shut-in autist", well so am I but even I appreciate it. In most times of the year I can just go to the backyard and appreciate a beautiful pure blue sky. Though during summer the heat can be too much.
- Historical and cultural heritage. In these times of rapid change and overall aesthetic decay, I find it refreshing to see ancient architecture and works of art in daily life. For example, just by going to work I can see the longest Roman bridge in the world, a Visigothic basilica and a Moorish fortress. And even though they're being slowly lost, typical mediterranean features likes balconies full of flowers are very nice to see and warm your spirit.
- The country is also very diverse in landscapes, climate, culture, etc. so you have many options for living.
- People are very open and friendly, you can practically banter with strangers after meeting for some minutes. They also have a laid-back attitude to pretty much everything, for good and bad.
- Healthcare is essentially free and we have the second longest life expectancy after Japan.
- Extremely safe.
- Good infrastructure. Trains, roads... we have the second longest high-speed rail network after China and the third longest highway length after China and the US. Also relatively cheap, uncapped fiber internet.
The bad:
- Economy is pretty shitty but if you're educated in anything decent you'll get a job. Honestly I'd rather have it stay like this, so people don't lose sight of important nonmaterial things and immigrants aren't attracted here.
- Politics is shit but so is everywhere else. Just ignore it.

Thank you both for this insight.
And what is Spanish people attidue towards Poles ? Can i open a business in Spain and keep it open durning the "siesta" time ?
How high are the taxes there?
>>60883222
Supermarkets are open from 9:30 to 21:30. And bars for longer. Only shops have a pause from 14:00 to 16:00 and then they close at 20:00.

Lmao
Lived in Oviedo and Bilbao for 5 years counting both.
Was legit as fuck.
Spain is mega diverse.
In Portugal you have standard European Portugal in the North and then the more "exotic" part down south. In Spain it's like that in every direction.
>>60885890
you come to live here again ...portuguese people are bro tier lad,
did you like basque coountry and Galicia?
>>60886033
Basque was amazing. Galicia too.
My only complaint with Galiza was a city called Monforte. Got depressed.
>>60886074
Monforte de Lemos? kek, that's truly a shitty village
>>60886133
Yes.
Ourense was great. Vigo too. Lugo more or less, the roman walls were legit.
The beach up north was great, las catedrales.
Galiza has too many commie graffitis though. Fuck that.
>>60886263
And people? Rude? Friendly? Basques are cold but very Hard workers in my opinion
>>60886525
Felt welcomed everywhere.
People thought I was a Brit for some reason, but other than that it was cool.
>>60886654
Thx portubro, you are welcome here lad
Spain <3 Portugal
