Overview
In the popular imagination Spain conjures up a picture of rapacious conquistadores, fiery flamenco dancers, and brilliant artists. All true enough--but how closely does everyday life in modern Spain conform to these dramatic stereotypes? Culture Smart! Spain explores the complex human realities of contemporary Spanish life. It describes how Spain's history and geography have created both strongly felt regional differences, shared values, and attitudes. It reveals what the Spaniards are like at home and in business, how they socialise, and how to build lasting relationships with them.
