🍻 Making friends in Spain
Why is making friends in Spain sometimes harder than people expect?
We discuss Spanish social culture, why dinner parties aren’t really a thing, whether it’s normal to talk to strangers at a bar, and what newcomers often misunderstand about building friendships here.
This episode is brought to you by Lexidy, helping founders and companies navigate the legal side of doing business in Spain.
Hosted by Adrián Bono, Ian Mount and Ignacio de los Reyes.
We’d love to hear from you.
