What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Barcelona?

We asked people in Barcelona if they could share any humorous cultural blunders they commited. For new expats, keep in mind that these incidents are an inevitable part of expat life. Learning to laugh about them is the key!...

"It is important to be mindful of local customs when visiting Barcelona. It is considered rude to be late for social engagements, so it is important to arrive on time. It is also important to dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites. Additionally, it is important to be respectful of the local language and to avoid speaking loudly in public. It is also important to be aware of the local laws and to avoid public displays of affection. Finally, it is important to be respectful of the local culture and to avoid making negative comments about the country or its people," remarked another expat in Barcelona, Spain.

"I am sure I have because Catalan is a complex language but people have been to nice to say anything to me ;~)," said a member in Barcelona, Spain.
