Stereotypes of Spain



This is a Tagul that contains many of the stereotypes of Spain. If you can be aware of these stereotypes before learning about the culture of Spain it will assist in an unbiased learning process. This is also great for parents who are very interested in their student's learning. They will be able to communicate more effectively with their students about the Spanish culture if they come in without incorrect background knowledge. As you can see, many times when people think of Spain they think of wine, dance, fiestas, the flamenco, beaches, sunshine, paella, handsome and dark people, siestas, and bullfights. 

It is better for parents to think beyond these stereotypes. This way they can become familiar with the real Spain, as best as possible, through their students and their Spanish learning.
