Re: Stupid questions from non-natives (Part Seven)

What's the common etiquette for laughter in Spain? I have an aunt and uncle who went on a trip there and they said they never heard anyone laughing at restaurants or anything, and that people gave them dirty looks whenever they did. Granted they're really loud when they laugh, but is it more proper to Spanish people to not laugh in public or just do so very discreetly? I've been wondering about this because they've mentioned it since they came back and told stories.

Man I don't know where your aunt and uncle were going, because my experience with Spaniards is that they tend to be a pretty raucous people. It may, however, vary by region; I've been in South and Central Spain, maybe they're more reserved in the North.

It was probably because they were too loud.

Are your aunt and uncle American? American tourists tend to stand out very easily (big gestures, loud voices even in-doors, a lot of leaning and attention-grabbing postures, etc.)

(To be fair, it's not just American tourists who do this, but they were the first to come to mind.)

Yeah, Americans abroad have a terrible reputation for being loud and rude. My sister used to lie and say she was Canadian whenever she was in Europe.
