What is the best place to vacation in Spain if you don’t speak Spanish well?
I am so psyched to go to Spain. I have wanted to go for the past few months, but my Spanish sucks (I’m still workin’ on it) and I am afraid that if I go visit I will be laughed out of town as the stupid American I am:) For those of you who know, if I were to decide to go, what would be the best place(s) to visit considering my mediocre Spanish skills-where English is somewhat acceptable? Thanks for your help! (SERIOUS REPLIES ONLY)
Muy bien! You guys gave the best answers I have ever received for any question I have ever asked on this site. I appreciate all of your help. It will be very hard to choose a best answer. I’ll take your recommendations and visit Barcelona for my graduation present next year. Thanks a lot!!
I would definitely recommend Barcelona.
I live in Madrid and speak really basic Spanish (I am going to a language course so I’m learning) and find that alot of people are rude about it and show no mercy! They continue speaking quickly and in Spanish. Ofcourse, you will find people who do speak English, but I find they are not as willing to speak it with you as those in Barcelona.
I had a holiday in Barcelona not so long ago and let me tell you, was I impressed with the level of English spoken there! You could go anywhere and because there are alot of tourists, the majority of people would speak to you or atleast try to speak to you in English. I HIGHLY recommend Barcelona. Even my Step-Dad who speaks fluent Spanish loves Barcelona because he can relax and not have to accompany me to everything just to translate!
Have a great holiday, btw! You’ll love wherever you go
