Shoes – Comfortable, close toed, preferably with a stiffer soles, especially for walking along cobblestone historic centers. 5. When in doubt, choose a slimmer fit.

Whether it’s pants or shirts, Spaniards are much more likely to choose a slimmer fit. If you want to blend in with the locals, you should too. Eat your paella for lunch . If you want to avoid looking like a tourist, don’t eat paella for dinner. Paella is a heavy dish that takes a few hours to digest, this is why locals have it always for lunch. Ordering it for dinner totally looks like a thing only tourists do… and your stomach will hate you for that! SEE BARCELONA LIKE A VIP. cajG.
