Normally when entering a business you say hello to people in your general area. Men will remove their hats generally, chivalry is not dead! And when leaving you say auvoir or bon journey (goodbye, good day) …At a cafe or restaurant: Yes, water is normally free, but not automatically offered, you must ask. There is generally a good selection of waters and spritzers If you ask for ice, expect a couple of cubes. Here it is a cheat to use much ice, as you get less drink …Once again, siesta is normally from 14-16:00 2-4pm Large retailers, Aldi, Action, etc do not close, but expect most small businesses to.

Random things, keeps it interesting
