Maybe someone should tell the author
TBH to litter on the bar floor was common until no so long ago. I remember Japanese tourists taken photos on some central Madrid bars full of prawns heads.
There are bars that do this. That chicken wings place in madrid. It is a chain I think? the ground is all greasey.
Far from the normal way of doing things though
Haha imagine being this uneducated
A littering problem? Really?
That was common in old tascas and some places with +60yo clients still allow that so they “keep the traditions”, but that’s absolutely not usual in most bars.
That is very common rather in “tapas bar” in kind of “bar” I m talking about really local or hood bars. Named “peñas” or tascas.
That is still common and the reason being is because the endless stream of people eating in and out.
I think it s not right but if you dont like it…, you know I live in uk and most of the food is frozen and I dont go over the internet to criticize
This is a thing in pintxo bars in the Basque Country no? That or only uneducated folks go to pintxo bars ;).
I’m spanish. I’ve never ever seen that
Museo de Jamon in Madrid, but that was like over 10 years ago. Napkins everywhere on the floor.
*littering problem*
I guess the author lives in a castle that’s cleaned up every hour. I’ve lived in multiple Spanish cities and have never had the impression of them being dirty, clearly not dirtier than other European cities. Maybe there are specific districts like Usera that are dirty but don’t think many tourists go there.
In Madrid at least if you want to dispose of furniture you make a request and they call you so you can leave it on the street when they tell you so they’ll pick it up overnight, so not all trash on the street side is littering.
There was a bar here in Barcelona called La Champagneria that had this about 11 years ago, not sure how long it lasted but it was strange.
Used to be very common in rural bars. But it’s getting less and less.
Well… Depends. There are/there were bars where they didn’t have bins to throw napkins, so you were forced to throw your shit on the floor.
There used to be bars with sawdust on the floor, where the toilet was a hole in the ground, and the “tapas” were fried sparrows. I haven’t seen one for decades. Spain is a clean, civilised country, by any metric
If you do this in Galicia you are going to have a “littering problem”. In your mouth, probably.
Where did these people go? Oh my god.
How long ago was that posted?
Some people are just uneducated and closed minded 🤦🏻♀️ poor guiris.
More like Uncultured Trip
I’ve been to bars like this in Valladolid, but definitely not the norm
books, clothes, and furniture on the street? it sounds like Boston.
Who’s the retard who wrote that article. Lol
Sí, creo que es algo del pasado? Estoy estudiando el español y mira este pasaje de me libro de texto:
> Como sucede con cualquier otro tipo de bar, hay tascas de muchas clases, desde las más refinadas hasta las más escandalosas. Lo que tienen en común es que casi siempre resultan bastante desordenadas a los ojos de un extranjero. En todas se encuentran pequeños recipientes de metal que guardan servilletas de papel encerado; es perfectamente aceptable tirarlas al suelo después de haberse limpiado la boca y los dedos. El resultado, tras dos o tres horas de entusiasta tapeo comunal en una tasca concurrida, puede parecer
poco apetecible. Pero… ¡ánimo!, cuantas más servilletas cubran el suelo, mejores serán las tapas.
