Whether visiting Spain, working on a class paper or doing business with the Spanish, you'll find Culture Briefing: Spain an invaluable resource. If you're traveling to the country, supplement your travel guide with Culture Briefing: Spain. It will let you enrich your trip, giving you knowledge about Spanish etiquette and traditions — and more financial success when traveling on business. You'll also receive the information you need to help you feel comfortable in what might otherwise be a strange environment, including a list of do's and don'ts. You'll gain the wisdom necessary to talk intelligently with the Spanish, discussing the life they live, deciphering and interpreting how they think and behave. No longer will you run the risk of embarrassment when in conversation with the Spanish people because you brought up a taboo subject, couldn’t comment on an aspect of local life or knew nothing of their form of government. With Culture Briefing: Spain you'll discover the character, values, beliefs and customs of the Spanish. You'll learn of their artistic endeavors and political ways. You'll find out about their home, family and religious life as well as how they make a living, educate their children and spend their leisure time. You'll also discover the problems the Spanish people face and see how they handle them.
