Holiday Like a Boss in Spain & France

When on holidays there are some behaviours that give us away as tourists like wearing socks and sandals to the beach or pronouncing [Pa-e-la] instead of “Paella” [Pa-e-ya].

If you want to have an authentic experience the best way to do so is by speaking the local language. Unfortunately, learning Spanish or French in less than a month to be ready for the summer is almost impossible. Fear not mes amies. We have compiled the ultimate tourist-proof list of phrases for when dining out or driving around Spain and France.
