Colombian Expat Reveals What Amazes Her About Life in Spain
Madrid, Spain – A Colombian expat, known as '🌸F E R N A N D A 🌸✨' on social media, has captivated audiences by sharing her positive cultural observations since moving to Spain. In a recent viral video, she highlighted several aspects of Spanish life that have particularly impressed her. Among the key differences noted by Fernanda is the distinct approach to weekends. "In Colombia, Saturday and Sunday are normal working days, and you see establishments open," she explained. "Here, Sundays are truly for rest, and most places are closed." This emphasis on downtime has been a welcome change. She also praised the vibrant summer atmosphere, where children can be seen playing outside late into the night due to extended daylight hours. Public transportation also received high marks for its organization. "Public transport here fascinates me," Fernanda stated. "You can see bus arrival times at stops, request stops from your seat, and schedules are super organized." She even mentioned downloading an app for seamless navigation. Another significant observation was the responsible pet ownership culture. "You don't see stray dogs on the street here," she emphasized. "It's spectacular. It's mandatory for pets to have a microchip, and it's like literally having a child because it's a huge responsibility. There are fines, for example, €200, if you mistreat your dog or cat." She recalled that in the past, supermarkets had designated areas for pets outside, but stricter rules now prevent this. Finally, the expat expressed her amazement at Spain's public cabling. "The organization of the cabling delighted me," she said. "In Colombia, you see posts with cables, energy cables, like spiderwebs. Here, everything is super clear because it's either internal or neatly attached outside houses." Her insights provide a compelling glimpse into the daily life and societal values of Spain.
