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

Answer this Question

We asked people in Marbella 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!...

"It is important to be mindful of local customs and etiquette when visiting Marbella. 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 sites and to avoid taking photographs without permission. Finally, it is important to be aware of the local language and to avoid speaking loudly in public," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Marbella, Spain.
