15 everyday things for Spaniards that seem strange and unusual to us tourists (16 photos)

17 April 2025

This country has its own flavor, which differs from all other countries.





1. If our supermarkets have storage lockers, then in Spain, most often in stores you can find racks like these, to which it is convenient to attach transport trolley bags



2. Blinds on the windows are versatile, they help out when it is cold and when hot





3. These doors don't require keys



If we always lock the door, then in Spain they just slam it.

4. There are shared balconies here, and you have to dry your laundry next to your neighbors'



Apartments are always very humid in winter, so the Spanish have no other option for drying laundry.

5. TVs are not mounted opposite the bed



In Spain, it is not customary to place a TV opposite the bed you sleep on. TV is usually watched while sitting on the sofa or at the table.

6. Spanish show "Guess the Word"



Here in Spain, TV viewers simply match letters and then find out the guessed word.

7. Here, oranges grow, just like apples here, right on the street



Of course, they don't taste like store-bought ones. But you can easily make freshly squeezed juice from this kind.

8. These are the funny garbage containers here



9. Some buses have empty seats like this



10. One of the Spaniards gave me this as a gift Christmas



This is sweet coal, usually given as a Christmas present to children. They are reminded that they need to behave well and exemplarily throughout the year in order to deserve a worthy gift. This coal is given for educational purposes.

11. In hypermarkets, all chicken eggs are packaged by size



And the package usually contains 12 eggs, not 10.

12. Dairy products usually indicate the percentage of fat in the product. This is not the case in Spain.



Here, everything is determined by color. The green color of the pack means that the milk has a fat content of no more than 0.5 percent, blue - 2 percent, red - 4 percent.

13. In Spain, you can buy a jar of "salad" in stores



But in fact, this is not a salad, but more like a snack that has a pasty texture. The product is convenient to spread on bread.

14. They sell beard dye here



15. People usually buy in bulk here, so don't be surprised if you see a 48-roll toilet paper pack for sale somewhere.
