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

Answer this Question

We asked people in Altea 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!...

"In Altea, it is important to be mindful of local customs and etiquette. 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, as revealing clothing is considered inappropriate. Additionally, it is important to be respectful of religious customs, such as refraining from eating pork or other non-halal foods in public. Finally, it is important to be aware of the local language and to avoid speaking English or any other language in public, as this can be seen as disrespectful," said another expat in Altea, Spain.
