Here is an interesting site to help explain how Spain ( or any country) will be different than what you’re used to. Just plug in Spain and then your own country.

Country Comparison - Hofstede Insights

Altus Poncho (ATMOSPHERIC H30)
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

I just went into the site and found the results very Interesting. Thank you for sharing.
 
Sorry but why have some other persons expectations setting the baseline of comparison may I suggest go to countries have no expectations and you will never be disappointed.
 
Altus 24 Liters daypack (DENON 24 H30)
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
Thank you. Thank Was both very interesting and very useful! Interesting to compare with my home country, the UK.

I have looked at the site, what I am saying why compare. It is what you find which will no doubt be what others expect,,,but beware that others eyes may not be what you see so do not be swayed compare are you have walked..

Thank you for sharing that. As someone with a long standing interest in corporate culture, I find it interesting to see how different management consulting companies approach this, particularly in an international setting. I am pretty sure their clients will be other companies who want to be as well prepared as possible to compete on an international stage. As pilgrims, we might have the luxury to walk without expectations, make our own comparisons and draw our own conclusions. Business enterprises might not feel the same way!
 

Yes fully agree. I remember Hofstede from my studying days and the work was pretty much seen as key and required reading on corporate culture, particularly regarding the international dimension and I found it fascinating! Post this I largely worked in international roles for 15 years also and always used the work to help me understand the cultures I was operating in, certainly at a macro level.
