[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Spain is generally unwelcoming, and I speak Spanish fluently. People just are serious and gruff as a whole. Agree that Paris got better, I think some of it is the Olympics effect and pride that generated, not to mention physical improvements to the city which is so much cleaner now. People have become more patient. Smaller towns in France are fine and friendly as a whole, just more reserved. Switzerland is not welcoming at all.[/quote] Spain has a huge British ex-pat community and in those areas the residents seem to be tapped out on tourists. The British are not that popular worldwide. [/quote] I've been to many parts of Spain and I'm not British (or American) by birth, and I'd say it's not about being tapped out though I know in some locations there is that element. It's just more of a cultural attitude which isn't good or bad, but so different from how people are in the US. It would seem unwelcoming by contrast.[/quote]
