Spanish foreigners have warned tourists visiting European countries that certain customs “troubling locals.” Spain's run Stuart spoke on its YouTube channel and opened up about lesser known rules in recent videos on tourism habits.
He pointed out everything from tourists who expect locals to speak English to people who are not properly dressed. However, he admitted to breaking certain rules of his own, revealing that he was actually “said.”
Stuart explained that while tourists visit the Spanish market and may not be considered unusual in British supermarkets, customs arise when they do things that are not appreciated in Spain.
He said: “Another thing that bothers the locals here, especially the local shopkeeper, is touching on fresh produce at the market. If you go to one of the many agricultural markets in the country, don't pick up the fruit like you do and see if it's ripe.
“It's the responsibility of the people who serve fruits and vegetables, and this was what happened to me last week. If you enter the supermarket and see all the different kinds of cold meat, chorizo, all the salkyrion, ham, etc., don't touch it either.”
With over 89,000 subscribers, Stuart revealed he was “told” to do this. He explains that you are supposed to wait until you provide a sample to try, and they “do it pretty often.”
He should ask the staff if he is buying cheese or ham first if he can give it a try. This “annoys” the people behind the counter, so don't simply pick it up and look.
Stuart's advice comes after a series of travel experts tell the Telegraph about the best places to visit our favorite European hotspots to avoid crowds of tourists.
In addition to Umbria, Italy and Tassos, Greece, travel experts recommended less frequent extremes of Spain, home to Spain, Crosiro and Merida.
According to the official Spanish tourism website, Extremadura features three sites with UNESCO World Heritage status and boasts a landscape that appeals to birdwatchers.
It also highlighted the Monfraguye National Park, the Gerte Valley and the pastures used for pig grazing.
