"Expats in Granada often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture. As Spanish is the primary language spoken in Granada, many expats find it difficult to communicate with locals and to understand the nuances of the language. Additionally, expats may find the local customs and traditions to be unfamiliar and difficult to adjust to. For example, the siesta, or afternoon nap, is a common practice in Granada, and expats may find it difficult to adjust to the slower pace of life. Finally, expats may find the local cuisine to be unfamiliar and challenging to get used to," remarked another expat who made the move to Granada, Spain.
