Tradition in Spain, by Camelia Rodríguez

Merriam-Webster defines tradition as an inherited, established, or customary pattern of thought, action, or behavior. I come from a place that is full of tradition but being in Spain I have seen how it really is to implement your traditions on a daily. Being here I have really experience what it is to go to a Soccer game. This is one of my favorite sports and seeing how serious Spaniards take it while make it a “party scene” is one of my favorite things I have experienced. When it comes to food, you have not really experience traditions if you don’t have tapas and Tino the Verano in the afternoon or the traditional breakfast of tostadas con jamon, aceite and tomate. It is not a tourist thing to do because you can see many locals doing it daily. It is also very normal to simply go out and get drinks right before you go out to dinner. Besides this, I recently experienced the traditions of “Dia de la Contitucion”. In these there were many events in the streets where people gathered around to see the marches and actually follow ‘La Virgen’. Spain has many traditions that I am so glad I had the chance to experience and I recommend everyone that comes does as well.
