Re: Are you living the life you moved for?

Re: Are you living the life you moved for?

Re: Cadiz?

Cádiz is fairly lively all year round, if you know where to go. There are some ex-pats that run intercambios. That would be a good idea to meet British people and meet Spaniards to improve your...

Re: Spanish languages

Go to a rural area in galica and ask them to speak castellano, they will oblige for a minute then revert back to galego/castrapo without realising it. This is mainly the middle-aged to older...

Re: Spanish languages

In many cases people who live just outside cities speak galego and many people within speak castrapo and they are most certainly not making a statement. The younger generation who live in the cities...

Re: Where in Andalucia do you live and why

Live in El Puerto, chose it because it's not too big and not too many ex-pats, although bumped into one last night. He couldn't speak Spanish despite living 9 years here

Re: Tell me what's really different.

I'm not talking about that, I am talking about people you have never seen before fixing you with a long stare. It is very prevalent among some small towns, but it is a cultural thing.
