Spain has an ancient and varied culture—very distinct from the cultures of Latin America…though it does share a language and some general customs with its former colonies. Getting to know Spain’s own varied culture will deepen your understanding and enrich your time there.
That sounds amazing 🤩 so proud of my Spanish ancestry.

Fascinating. As someone from a partially Italian background, I notice differences between the cultures.

@EdwinRiveraTheOneThatGotAwaySpain 🇲🇽 is beautiful
@YourParentsBiggestMistakeEsta señora mayor extranjera pasa nuestra cultura erróneamente por el tamiz de la suya yo no hablaría de otro país incluso estando muy integrado y este no parece el caso.
@LacteagalaxiaI grew up in a Hispanic household as my grandmothers side of my family is the only side I know. My grandmother is full blooded spanish. My family has been in America a very long time so alot of our culture is things we adopted from Latin American cultures so learning ab my culture in this extent is very fulfilling and interesting.
@JAZTSWow thank you so much I truly appreciate your video I just got my DNA and found out I have 23% Spain. I am super happy and ready to eat, explore and learn if there is any thing you think of that I should try please feel free to let me know.

@christinakomoroski8332I am watching this video because im doing a project in social studies,thank u guys and subscribe to this channel
@georgefarah6123I'm Spanish and I didnt even know most of these.
@matteocalleja8621My biological mother was Spanish. I was adopted as a young child and never was really introduced to my culture so I want to learn more as I'm currently going through an identity crisis
@dannaseymour8404I must correct your siesta is usually done because especially in summer it is easy to go out in Spain at noon with temperatures of 44 degrees
@perico400As a Spaniard, I can certify that everything Marsha relates is very accurate. But there are other incredible places like Salamanca, Toledo, Canary Islands or León too. And many more. Spain is undoubtedly a beautiful and welcoming country.
@franz5426Thank you so much for this. I wanted to explore Spanish cultures when I'm there (I typically dont like doing touristy stuff) so thanks!
@Sasha42276Living in Spain, Valencia, and the kissing tradition was maintained by many and I had come off akward when I showed my reluctance to maintain the custom in interactions with friends or acquaintances. I'm not saying she is wrong here but the younger generation has shown no yield for social gatherings or distancing even from day one of restrictions in Valencia. Just a caveat, the youth have successfully upheld this tradition throughout but perhaps not the older
@brianmcguire5175I enjoy watching her earrings bob around with her head! :D So cute!
@toriah.leedleleeMany English names are occupation-based. Occupational names identified people based on their job or position in society. Calling a man “Thomas Carpenter” indicated that he worked with wood for a living, while someone named Knight bore a sword. Other occupational names include Archer, Baker, Brewer, Butcher, Carter, Clark, Cooper, Cook, Dyer, Farmer, Faulkner, Fisher, Fuller, Gardener, Glover, Head, Hunt or Hunter, Judge, Mason, Page, Parker, Potter, Sawyer, Slater, Smith, Taylor, Thatcher, Turner, Weaver, Woodman, and Wright (or variations such as Cartwright and Wainwright) — and there are many more. And many of these names are especially common.
That seems relatively rare in Spanish. I know Herrera means Smith. But can not think of many more. However, I'm not a native Spanish speaker. Can anyone confirm that occupational names are relatively rare?
Brutal vídeo! Muy completo
@leonav1This is a lifesaver for the AP Spanish exam haha thanks

@NaharrorPuerto Rican trying to understand mora about my Spanish routes.
@ScarlitcorpseI'm a Filipino and until now we inherited some of those cultures. Imagine 300 yrs Spanish occupation in our country
@zian.2493China virus...just to be accurate

Thank you for sharing, Marsha! I can't wait to make Spain my home. So much to look forward to!
@shelliann1975Me watching this being a spanish person: YES :)
@marinevicent6386Hi. I am based in the US. I learned about your move there and your previous film career there. You mentioned that Netflix has set up a European production there. Any follow up story on that? I am interested in filmmaking. Also, do you have any recommended new Spanish movies to watch. Thanks and wish you well in 2021.
@denniszenanywhereIn Catalonia they tie a torch to the horns of the bull, the poor bull is terrified, and they release him through the streets ... what art they have!
@albertoperez3254Excellent vídeo, only a little mistake: San Jorge (Saint George) is in April

@astruswydMarsha Scarbrough, beautiful name, beautiful lady. Thank you so much for the video, I really enjoyed it, I live here in Spain and did not know half of the events you spoke of. x
@bernicegardner4019I’m clearly living in the wrong country 🤦🏾♂️😢☹️
@stefanossmitty3318Hi Marsha, I’m really interested in talking to you about moving to Spain. I have made my living in commercial and residential property ownership and management, and at age 60, I’m in the process of selling everything and readying myself to leave the US. Would you be willing to talk/email with me about this process?
@DannaOwenWow so many of them . I have to watch that again. I never remember all that.
@giglegabOn my opinion , one of the most spectacular festivals (not well known) are the Villajoyosa Moorish landing.
The atmosphere is amazing, a lot of inhabitans of town participate , dressing medieval ages clothes , and do a performance of a battle between christians knights and moorish troops.
Just check it out !! 👇🏻👇🏻

Also Catoeira landing and battle are one of the best ones, between Celts and Vikings .
Those are TOP festivals on my opinion!!
Wonderful video. Thank you for informing us with all those lovely traditions and festivals.
@alexandersumbati3693All those traditions in Spain sound amazing.
Can't wait to travel there and experience some of them. Thank you for the video, greetings
Very nice and informative vlog. Thank you for sharing. have a nice weekend. 🌹🌹🌹
