Sangria's Surprising Spanish Secret: A Tourist Myth Debunked
In Spain, a common sight is tourists ordering sangria, a drink many associate with Spanish culture. However, according to Viviallestero.com, a long-term resident of Spain who helps Italians relocate there, this is a misconception. "In Spain, nobody drinks sangria," Viviallestero.com states in a recent video. He explains that in most Spanish bars, sangria isn't even offered on the menu. His video highlights authentic Spanish drinks, such as Tinto de verano (red wine, soda, lemon, ice) and Agua de Valencia (orange juice, Prosecco, gin, vodka, ice), proving the diversity of Spanish beverages.
The video features a scene in a bar where the author attempts to order sangria, only to be met with an apologetic "No, we don't have sangria." This interaction visually reinforces Viviallestero.com's point. He compares the situation to vermouth in Italy, another drink that exists but is not as commonly consumed as it once was. While sangria exists in Spain, it's not a typical drink for locals, he explains. The video concludes by encouraging viewers to try other regional drinks. This video offers a unique perspective on Spanish culture and dispels a common misconception.
