As a Spaniard, I can certify that everything Marsha relates is very accurate. But there are other incredible places like Salamanca, Toledo, Canary Islands or León too. And many more. Spain is undoubtedly a beautiful and welcoming country.

Thank you. You introduced Spain and Spanish culture very good.

I m Sam Khan From India And i loved the way u taught me about the culture and tradition of spain. I just wanna thank u😍❤️

I grew up in a Hispanic household as my grandmothers side of my family is the only side I know. My grandmother is full blooded spanish. My family has been in America a very long time so alot of our culture is things we adopted from Latin American cultures so learning ab my culture in this extent is very fulfilling and interesting.

wow glad to hear this cultural tradition

Bitcoin officially becomes legal tender in El Salvador. The predominant cryptocurrency btc hits $100k by Dec. Start investing in cryptocurrencies and save more for the future.

Fascinating. As someone from a partially Italian background, I notice differences between the cultures.

Thank you so much for this. I wanted to explore Spanish cultures when I'm there (I typically dont like doing touristy stuff) so thanks!

This is a lifesaver for the AP Spanish exam haha thanks

Spain 🇲🇽 is beautiful

Excellent vídeo, only a little mistake: San Jorge (Saint George) is in April

I'm a Filipino and until now we inherited some of those cultures. Imagine 300 yrs Spanish occupation in our country

Hi. I am based in the US. I learned about your move there and your previous film career there. You mentioned that Netflix has set up a European production there. Any follow up story on that? I am interested in filmmaking. Also, do you have any recommended new Spanish movies to watch. Thanks and wish you well in 2021.

You should've kept more pictures and short clips of many things you said. That might've helpled

Living in Spain, Valencia, and the kissing tradition was maintained by many and I had come off akward when I showed my reluctance to maintain the custom in interactions with friends or acquaintances. I'm not saying she is wrong here but the younger generation has shown no yield for social gatherings or distancing even from day one of restrictions in Valencia. Just a caveat, the youth have successfully upheld this tradition throughout but perhaps not the older

Aha!

Many English names are occupation-based. Occupational names identified people based on their job or position in society. Calling a man “Thomas Carpenter” indicated that he worked with wood for a living, while someone named Knight bore a sword. Other occupational names include Archer, Baker, Brewer, Butcher, Carter, Clark, Cooper, Cook, Dyer, Farmer, Faulkner, Fisher, Fuller, Gardener, Glover, Head, Hunt or Hunter, Judge, Mason, Page, Parker, Potter, Sawyer, Slater, Smith, Taylor, Thatcher, Turner, Weaver, Woodman, and Wright (or variations such as Cartwright and Wainwright) - and there are many more. And many of these names are especially common. That seems relatively rare in Spanish. I know Herrera means Smith. But can not think of many more. However, I'm not a native Spanish speaker. Can anyone confirm that occupational names are relatively rare?

Spanish person here. Occupational names are relatively common, even in spain's coofficial languages such as catalonian (Ferrer and Pintor mean smith and painter) and galician (a spanish president name was Zapatero _shoe maker_ or Vaquero _farm worker who keeps cows_). But we have many types of names which tend to be more common than occupational ones: patronómicos (tend to refer and mean "son/daughter of someone" like spain's current president Sanchéz _son of Sancho_), geographical (refer to geographical things like mountains, cities as people whose surname is Ávila _a province_, buildings like Iglesias _church_, places, forests, rivers, hills like Prats or my surname Peña that means "cliff") and descriptive ones (based on "appearance" from the ancestor like Calvo _bald_, Roig _ or Delgado _thin_).

@@zarinapena5846 Zarina, thanks for your post. I was not so much asking if there were occupation terms in Spanish, but if these occupational terms were common apellidos. The occupational terms you mention (Ferrer, Pintor, Vaquero, Zapatatero are not names I recognize as common Spanish apellidos. I have heard Zapata of course, but am unsure how common it is. In sharp contrast, I can think of a long list of common occupational English names: Baker, Carter, Cook, Cooper, Farmer, Hunter, Mason, Miller, Potter, Shepeard, Stewart, Taylor, Turner, Walker (a fuller), Ward, Weaver, and Wright, Incidentally I think this is more common in America than Britain. I notice that none of the common Spanish apellidos in the United States are occupational names. www.thoughtco.com/most-common-us-surnames-1422656

@@dennisweidner288 it depends on where you live which type of apellidos are more common. In the place of Spain I live, occupational apellidos in catalonian are quite common. Hispanics apellidos depend on how much your family was based on. Probably my apellido was given by a priest because my family isn't spanish native, but either way is hispanic. About the most common apellidos, none of the most common first apellidos in Spain are occupational according to INE. I looked inside the data you gave in your comment and none of the spanish surnames are occupational. I guess it isn't as common there having occupational surnames too. Zapata is a basque surname that refers to a specific type of shoe and it's more common in latinoamerican countries.

We do have those surnames in Spain. Actually, occupation-based surnames are quite common and are usually associated to ancient converted jews (judeo-conversos), those jews that, after the expulsion in 1492, decided to stay in Spain and adopted christianity (and Christian names). Indeed, this is also the reason why we have two surnames in Spain (and in Hispanic countries, in general), unlike the rest of the world, where people usually takes just one surname. We take two surnames, one from each parental side, since those times, so that people could be identified as either "Old Christians" (those people with a full Christian background) or "New Christians" (those who descent from the converted jews). As many jews only adopted Christianity officially, to stay in the country, but they still practiced judaism in secret, by adopting both surnames, The Inquisition could that way register families with jewish-based surnames (like occupation-based surnames) from either side, and stay vigilant in case they continued practicing judaism in secret. Also, many "Old Christians", were reluctant to "New Christians" (especially if they came both from influential families), and started demanding "purity of blood" in order to make businesses with them, that's why in many towns (mainly in Navarra, where judaism was still allowed for a few more decades, as it was still an independent kingdom, so that many jews moved there from the Kingdoms of Castille and Aragon, after 1492) rugs were hanged down in churches, showing the names and surnames of those people who could be suspicious of having falsely converted into Christianity. This is the reason why in Spain we have the expression "tirar de la manta" (it can be translated to something like: "to pull the rug"), which is mostly the equivalent to the english expression "let the cat out of the bag", AKA, to discover a hidden, shameful secret.

Hi Marsha, I’m really interested in talking to you about moving to Spain. I have made my living in commercial and residential property ownership and management, and at age 60, I’m in the process of selling everything and readying myself to leave the US. Would you be willing to talk/email with me about this process?
