Spain

Lunch (2–4pm) is the main meal - dinner rarely before 9pm

Siesta is still real in small towns - many shops close 2–5pm

Tipping is not expected but rounding up is polite

Spaniards are loud and extroverted - joining the conversation is welcomed

All-night culture: nightclubs open at midnight, peak at 3am, close at 6am

Each region has its own culture, dialect, and food - Catalonia, Basque Country, and Andalusia feel like different countries
