Spanish people.

I just want to know how the world see spanish people. What do you think about us? For example, I've heard that foreigners think that spanish people are lazy. Have you ever heard some stereotype about spanish people?

I hear that some countries make siesta. That is a luxury for us. ( I’m not sure it’ll exist in Spain)
But especially we hate Bull Fighting and Tomato Crush Fest ( La tomatina). I can’t understand killing an animal or destroying foods for fun.

It's more of an observation than a stereotype, but can I tell you one thing I love about Spain? When you go out in the evenings you often see big family groups wandering around together, teenagers and parents, often grandmas and granddads and little kiddies, all enjoying each others' company. That rarely happens in Britain, and certainly not in the evenings. British people tend to socialise mainly within their own age groups, and most teenagers would rather die than be seen 'going out' with their parents. When you go out in the evenings in Britain, the streets tend to be full of 16 - 30 year-olds, most of them drunk and silly. I much prefer the Spanish custom - it makes for a friendlier, more relaxed and safer environment.

That surprise me a lot. I was born in Venezuela and I think that mexican accent is harder to understand. Let me give u and advice: if you come to Spain to learn Spanish, go to Madrid or the northern part of Spain. People always say that southern accent is much harder. :)

@Tiffany. If your friend is from Mexico, he is Mexican not Spanish. Do yourself a favour and learn some geography before commenting. You have been the only one who understood that this discussion was about people who speak Spanish. It was clear for everybody that she was speaking about people from Spain since she is a Spanish girl. Plus, I have never heard that people in Spain have very large families, maybe 60 years ago, but I have many Spanish friends and their families are not large at all. I don't even know now what you mean by "Spanish people".

I heard that Spanish people are very beautiful in general.
