10Assuming Spain Is the Same Everywhere

One of the biggest mistakes tourists make is treating Spain as a single, uniform culture. In reality, Spain is made up of distinct regions, each with its own traditions, languages, and cuisine. Barcelona in Catalonia feels very different from Seville in Andalusia or San Sebastián in the Basque Country.
Tip: Do your research before traveling. Embrace local identities and try regional specialties—from pintxos in the Basque Country to paella in Valencia.
