See what I'm doing with the country's campaign, nobody paid me. I hope YouTube pays me, but well, we'll see.
Things that I love from Spain and there are some things that hate that I hate, that I don't support.
And tell them that I spoke to you in another video that I left you here on top.
And people, many people are angry.
Well, if you don't like these things from Spain, what are you doing here?
Shut up, your country. Sorry, I'm Spanish, okay?
I can't go to my country because I'm already in it, at least right now.
I love Spain and I think we have the right to criticize our own country, there is no perfect country.
And much less Spain.
But there are things impressive, there are things that would not change it for any other country.
I have lived in different countries, in different continents, and I know that for me, the perfect country to live is Spain.
Because it is the one that I like the most and the most quality of my life, without any doubt.
I have no other country to live in.
I can invite some things, some aspects, but in sum, I sum up all the factors that we have in Spain.
I sum up everything that the country offers us, I think that Spain wins.
In all kinds of ways, if you want to know that it was what I criticized so much and that so many people are angry.
And if you are still angry every day in comments, I leave this video here below and up here.
But you do not see it yet.
First, I will tell you these beautiful things from Spain and then you go to that video.
By the way, my name is Lucia and I am a Spanish teacher for foreigners, for people who do not have the Spanish as a matter of fact.
By the way, everything I am going to tell you, I love Spain and the order that has the list does not mean that some things are better than others,
but that everything I am going to show you is something that I admire and that appreciates a lot of my country.
The first thing I love about Spain is that we do a lot of life in the street.
There is always going to be people in the street, except in winter, in the towns, which seem like ghost towns,
and they could pass around the desert for around.
But in general, except those not-touristic towns in winter, in general, to the Spanish,
I love to do a lot of life in the street.
If you stop by the street running in gymnasium to go to the free, walk every day, or if you stop in a terrace.
Don't worry, take a coffee.
A beer or what arises.
People love to walk, be after dinner in summer, be it for the afternoon, when it's a little sunny,
and there is the temperature in winter or in autumn.
I don't like to walk and I like to see people's streets.
The second thing that I love is the opening character of most of the Spanish.
We don't do like other countries that don't greet neither that they pay.
But in Spanish, I like to greet their neighbors, meet them,
say something if they are in the waiting room of some place or if they coincide.
For example, the other day we went to bath in a few terms
and we talked with a lot of people, especially with many people who were there
enjoying their youth.
We talked with a lot of them because they simply showed that disposition
to talk with you, ask you where you are coming from, what you are doing there.
To tell you that your son is very handsome, who knows how to give very well,
any excuse is good to talk about a conversation with a person unknown.
And I love that open character.
The other thing that I love about my country is that it is not extremely cold
nor extremely hot, even though they don't wait for me in the summer.
If you know how to tell me that, I don't tell you.
I have been in the summer and I know what that is.
I mean, I speak with a sense of chaos.
Never again.
But that's not how in Dubai, which I remember a few years ago,
that we were living in Dubai for very few months
and every time we went out to the street,
it was like opening an oven and putting the head right in front
to receive the whole heat.
It doesn't have anything to do, it does a lot of heat.
Now I'm spending a lot of heat.
But it's not extreme.
And also, luckily, I think that everywhere there is air-conditioned
and ventilators and where there is no one that doesn't wait for me.
The fourth thing that I love about our country is that we are a family society.
We are not individualists.
There are people who, of course, I'm generalizing.
Although there are many who then in the comments say, "No generalices, let's see,
it's our idiosyncrasia.
In all countries, we have an identity.
Just some common characteristics,
although there are particularities.
And all these characteristics that I'm numbering are generalists
that apply to a good part of the population.
Of course, there are people who are "gilipuertas",
who are very individualists, but in general, we are a very family society.
We like to reunite the dominoes to eat with our family,
or the Saturdays.
We like to live near our families,
because we will take care of them when they grow up.
Because we want to see them menu, we want to develop with them,
or eat with them, sometimes very frequently.
We don't like to eat, we like to take, by the way,
to another province, super distant,
not to be that there is no more remedial,
or that we find in love with our lives on the other side of the world.
Exceptions, in general, we try to live near
and spend time with our family,
worrying about them, taking care of them and that I love.
The fifth thing that we love, that love of our country,
are our parties and traditions.
We have all those you want and more.
Apart from that in Spain there are many vacations in comparison with other countries.
For example, the state of the workers says that everyone has
30 natural days of vacations a year,
depending on the convenience of each profession.
It can have more days, but that is the minimum.
30 natural days of vacations a year, more than 14 festivals.
We are talking about 14 festivals in every corner of Spain.
There are 12 festivals that I think are national and autonomous,
and then there are two festivals that are local.
These festivals, many celebrate and some don't celebrate.
And simply, when, for example, it's the day of the region of Murcia,
because I am from Jake the Murcia,
when it's the day of the Murcia region, we don't celebrate anything,
but simply we go from food, we are going to spend the day outside,
we are going to make a different plan.
There is no festival in the street, we don't celebrate anything,
but we don't work.
When I say that I like festivals,
it seems to me that I don't work, even though I'm going to work just like that.
Because I'm autonomous.
By removing that, leaving it on one side,
I like celebrations, festivities, traditions that are done in the streets.
I also like to love, for example, what is done on the day of the region,
because everyone, almost everyone finishes their Christmas,
but in Spain it's not finished yet.
It still remains, I still love the day of the region.
I also love all festivities, local events that are done,
every town has its festivities, its fairies,
we have a lot of things in every corner of Spain,
just not just the celebrations that are done in all the country,
but the celebrations that we do in each autonomous community,
in each province, or in each locality.
For example, this is the morning of bunion,
the dances of Valencia.
In my town we have our own festivities of San Isidro.
There are parties.
For all the guests in all corners of Spain,
so from then on you can do a tour of local festivities
that you won't be bored of.
With this, the sixth point of my list that I love in Spain is El Ocio.
We all have El Ocio that you want, in Spain you won't be bored of.
It seems like I'm making a campaign for you to come visit.
And no, if you want to come, come.
But I just want to share all these things that I love in Spain,
that value so that you know our country better,
because you're probably watching this video because you're interested.
If you want to come, no, that's your problem, eh?
For example, if you're a Spanish student, like the foreign language,
we wait for you in the Spanish academy, RKL,
where you have a lot of options for you to learn about your story,
nine courses in different, for you to spend your time with,
and also classes of conversation in life,
so that you practice this expression every week.
Also, classes of education, and a beautiful community,
and the members who are in the telegram group every day of the academy,
know what I mean.
Well, I follow the topic that I'm talking about.
El Ocio, since practicing many types of sports,
a lot of life doesn't turn out.
There's a lot of life doesn't turn out.
Now, life doesn't turn out well, I don't enjoy it anymore, I don't have it,
but when I had it during my adolescence,
I had it during my first years as an adult,
I spent a lot of time and I don't have anything to see in life,
I don't have anything to see in other countries,
I don't have anything to see in what I'm saying,
here in Spain you can go to a party,
in a university city, for example,
like Murcia,
like Valencia, Alicante, the one that is,
you can go to a party, a party, a Wednesday,
and you can go to a party,
the next day, at the time of eating if you want.
If life doesn't turn out, everything you want.
If you go to a party, you can go to a party, you can go to a party, you can go to a party,
or you can just go to a party for the night,
take some steps to go to the 10th of the night.
There are many variety of activities,
more healthy than the party's ones,
they are already in nature, they are already in tourist guides,
of what is already a lot of variety of activities,
different activities that you can do.
The last thing that I love about Spain is our story.
Spain has made many mistakes,
that does not hurt anyone, well, there are people who do it.
It has made many mistakes, which were their own times,
even though we analyze them with today's eyes,
that we shouldn't do it,
but well, its story has its lights and its shadows,
but all of that makes Spain, which is today,
which is not perfect, it has many things to improve,
but it's magnificent, and as it is,
in Spain we had a crisis of cultures,
we had a part of different kingdoms and different religions
that ended up together in a single kingdom,
which is the Spanish of today.
And all those religions,
all those cultures that conflued,
that coincided in what today is the Spanish territory,
have given a rich, a diverse culture,
that is translated into its architecture, in its gastronomy,
in our incrasion, in our own identity,
that's why it doesn't matter where you work in Spain,
it doesn't matter where you travel,
in any corner you will find vestiges of that past,
so diverse, you can see Romanian, Arabs,
medieval castles, architectural jewels,
from the Renaissance, from the Baroque, in Spanish,
it has a rich, historical, impressive story.
The eighth thing that has already happened at some point
is our gastronomy.
But also the way we live our gastronomy.
For example, you can eat some pincers in the Basque country,
while you're standing, talking to friends,
you can make a surprise of infinite hours
when you're standing at 6 in the afternoon or 7 in some cases,
the way we live the gastronomy speaks a lot of our culture.
For example, you talk about the sobremesa for a long time,
in a video I leave you below here and above.
In our gastronomy we have a lot of variety,
a very naive variety.
And I don't only refer to patatas or patatas,
or to the paella, which is the most typical,
in every local, in every people, in every region of the country,
we have typical dishes of the area
that can completely change the taste and texture
of a Spanish area to another.
That's why tourism is also gastronomical.
You're going to find a different dish there,
where you go.
And the rare vegetarians like me, we have a problem,
many of those dishes are spicy meat,
so I can't enjoy this beautiful gastronomy of our country
at 100%, but even vegetarian,
every time I'm having it,
we're getting more easy, the rare vegetarians and vegan like me,
and we're going to enjoy more dishes of our gastronomy
adapted, like the famous "cachopus de Asturias".
For example, everything is going to have its vegan versions.
I don't see anything that I love about our country.
It's the landscape, the varied landscape,
from impressive and curious desserts,
like the real bars of Navarra,
to the ferocious woods,
green forests like the Elba de Irati.
Pellets, paradisiacas,
like the ones in the Costa Brava,
or the Islas Canarias,
or other snowy food such as Sierra Nevada,
in Granada.
There are many options for all kinds of dishes.
The mountains, beaches, whatever you want,
we have it.
Actually, it seems like I'm inviting you to come,
but if you don't want to,
it seems like I'm making a campaign of the country
that nobody paid me.
I hope YouTube pays me,
but well, we'll see.
That's another topic.
The truth is that Spain has a spectacular landscape,
although I would like it to be even more green,
especially in the middle of the country down there,
because here we have very little green in comparison with the north,
but well, that would mean
that I would see a lot,
and that also gives me a little bit of affection.
So I don't care how I am.
Spain is a very varied country,
a very agistic country.
And when you ask for something or the other,
you have them on foot.
The tenth thing that I'm going to mention to you
seems super important,
because this time, well,
it was things that can be lived or not.
If you live with them,
better, more quality of life,
but this that I'm going to show you,
in the long term of our practical life,
in the real life of taking care of our health
and taking care of our education.
Something that I love about our country
is that we have a very good education system
that is perfect for us,
and a health system that is of a huge quality,
and that is not perfect either,
that has many problems,
that have lists of hope for specialties.
There are problems.
There is lack of professional,
specialized ones.
There is lack of financing
in many autonomous communities.
But even so,
you have to wait for a year or two
to weigh those problems,
because they are problems,
that is our health system.
It is spectacular.
If you have symptoms,
you won't be able to spend
neither a single feeling.
You can be sick for years,
you can have a very serious pathology,
be a chronic sick,
have a sad cancer,
all of this is very sad, I know.
But you won't be able to debut.
You won't be able to ruin it.
You have everything free.
I say free with comillas,
because we pay it with our taxes.
And I, in the other video,
in the video I mentioned before,
things that do not support all of Spain,
things that really hate,
criticize the many taxes
that we pay the autonomous ones,
which are not autonomous.
They are not aware of how many taxes we pay,
and criticize that we pay so much.
But I said that it seemed good
to maintain health system.
I would pay more taxes
to maintain this health system
and that every time the problem
is that we have some politicians
from shit,
who are many of them corrupt,
who dedicate money
to what they should not.
And every time they dedicate less money
to our health system.
It seems to me that we must protect
and we must realize our sanitary system
to dedicate each time more funds
and be aware that we have something very special,
that we have something very positive,
that does not have in other countries,
nor far away.
In Spain, we do not need private insurance.
If you want to pay a private insurance
to go to the dermatologist
and that you see you faster,
without waiting for two weeks,
according to the autonomous community and the city,
you will expect more or less time.
But if you want to go to a specialist
very fast,
then you can get a private insurance.
But for the important thing,
so that when you have a serious illness,
you lose a surgery,
or you have a feeling,
or you are ingress,
you do not need private insurance.
The public health is in charge,
which is of great quality,
although they don't want to judge it,
especially a political party.
But hey, I'm talking about positive things,
so I keep positive to talk about
one of the things I love about my country,
which is security.
Spain is a very safe country.
There is no weapons.
We do not need weapons of fire.
The girls can go out on the street at night,
we are not going to pass anything.
And of course, you have biologists,
murderers, murderers,
but we are talking about a very sad percentage,
that we have to eliminate,
but it is a very small percentage,
if we look at the fifties,
so terrible and so anguishful of other countries.
Spain, really, is a very safe country.
And that depends on the great cities like Madrid
and Barcelona.
There is a serious problem.
De robos, aturistas
and people who go to the hospital,
like in all the big cities of the world.
This is a problem that has to be overcome,
that has to be eradicated,
the problem of the carterists,
but in general, removing that
and some things that happen in a small percentage,
Spain is a very safe country.
And the last thing in Spain,
which summarizes everything in the past,
is the quality of life.
Everything in the past
and many things that will be forgotten
and that have not added to make this video eternal,
make our country
have a great quality of life.
As I said at the beginning, I have lived
in different countries, in three continents,
but not at the heart of the world.
And in fact, that there is no other country
that would take some things from a country,
some things from others,
it would be all our politicians.
For example,
but there is no other country
in general.
I think that in Spain,
it is very good.
Spain is a great nation
and the Spanish
very Spanish and many Spanish.
