Cultural Insights: A Newcomer's Surprising Observations in Valencia
A recent viral video by content creator Fabiola Brito, known as faby.boo1, offers a unique perspective on daily life and cultural nuances in Valencia, Spain. Uploaded on July 5, 2025, the video, titled "Curiosities that surprised me when I arrived in Valencia," has garnered over 100,000 views, sparking conversations about cultural adaptation. Brito, originally from Venezuela, shares several observations that initially puzzled her. Among them, she noted the frequent sight of straw hats in the trunks of cars, a practice she later learned was common for those working in orchards or fields. She also expressed admiration for the "super-mega-elegant" dressing style of elderly Spaniards, often seen with walking aids but impeccably dressed. Another point of interest for Brito was the prevalent use of shopping trolleys by grandmothers. "I wasn't used to seeing them constantly like that," she remarked, contrasting it with her home country. She even adopted the practice herself, stating, "I prefer that to a backache." Finally, Brito recounted her learning curve regarding winter dressing. Initially, she believed more layers simply meant more warmth, leading to illness during her first autumn. She soon discovered the Spanish practice of layering with specific thermal clothing, which she now embraces. Brito concludes her video by emphasizing that adapting doesn't mean losing oneself, but rather respecting and coexisting with local customs.
