    The document summarizes some of the biggest differences between schools, people, and general customs in Spain and Canada. It notes that Spanish schools have three terms separated by holidays, students take around 10 subjects per year, and cell phones and eating are prohibited. Popular Spanish customs include drinking beer and eating tapas while watching soccer games, enjoying traditional Spanish music in southern regions, and the controversial tradition of bullfighting which is opposed by most Spaniens. While Spaniards are friendly, Spain can be unsafe especially for women at night, and manners like saying "please" and "thank you" are less common than in Canada.

    Safety, manners
    Although Spanish people are mostly extremely outgoing and friendly, Spain can be

    safety When it comes to manners, most people are always kind and willing to help, but the
    Spanish are not used to say ‘excuse me’, ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ for everything, and
    this can be considered rude.
    ¡Muchas gracias!
