Many countries haven’t got this item, but in Spain, we surely need it, especially late-night birds!

Can you describe it? Have you got any anecdotes about it?

Hello, everybody!

This Talking People project is so that Spanish-speaking learners of the English language can practice explaining things about their own culture in English. Feel free to post wherever you find a thread you’d like to contribute to! For example, imagine in our section “Food & Drink” we’ve got a thread on “tortilla de patata” (potato omelette). Well, you can post there your recipe of this meal, or an anecdote around this meal! Whatever!

Enjoy!
