I think the Spanish embrace the British, afterall, it was the tourism industry that really kicked off their ecconomy. However, we must try to intergrate into their way of life and the first thing to do is to learn their language - even if you just try to start with. I've found them great, friendly and kind - even the nasty policeman who nearly gave me a parking ticket the other day !!!!

I used to feel like that when I lived in the UK, I'd get quite irritated if immigrants didnt try to be british and speak the language.

Thats what I like about Spain, they dont try to ammend their ways, culture and life to be like immigrants, we have to conform or go back to the UK!

As for PC and racism protection - I havent seen any thankfully!! They say what they think here - freedom of speach and long may it continue
