The stereotype of people from my country….
Normally, we like a lot to go to parties because we’re very happy.... Sometimes people think we aren’t hard-working and maybe a litlle lazy.... The typical food in my country is paella and spanish omelette and, of course, we drink sangria all the time... Also people think we don’t have a lot of rules and we’re very traditional in our actions and customs. Another important topic of my country is we have good weather, a lot of sun and we enjoy to go to bull flight all the time.
Personally I think there are a lot of topics about Spain not very real... Maybe we are happy people and normally we love to go to parties but not all Spanish people like to go to bull flight (in fact, I think it’s a very cruel party and not representative of our culture and customs) It’s important to know we are very hard-working, responsible, we have a lot of companionship feeling and good sense of humour. However, it’s true we are not very discipline (especially when we are driving...) Another point is the importance or value that food have for us. We eat and drink a lot, it’s a reality, but it’s interesting to remember that home coooking in Spain is a characteristic feature of our culture (that’s why we don’t eat only paella!) and we have important and recognized "chefs" around the world. In my opinion, we love art, music and we like enjoying the life. In fact, the good weather help us to be happier than another neighbours countries, I’m sure of that...
See you !

With power and conviction we should be able to change the stereotypes we have been defined by.
What about Picasso, Dolores Ibarruri, Javier Marías and Buenafuente... to mention a few!
We have a great variety of personalities and a wonderful environment to have an interesting life.
I think that we'll never destroy stereotyps, becouse they're part of the human being, trying to know as much as they can. And, really, there all our knowing is stereotyps. There are two ways of knowing.
1- By deduction without knowing peronally, which is clearly a stereotype
2-By experience, wich appears to be another stereotype as you can't speak about a collective without knowing all the details.
All of this makes imposible of knowing something without it being a stereotype.
