 Urban Legends
The girl on the curve---A driver picks up a young woman who’s hitchhiking late at
night on a dark highway. The girl warns the driver to be careful going around the
next curve, as it’s especially dangerous. The driver asks her how she knows this,
to which she explains that she was killed on the curve. During her chilling
response, the mysterious hitchhiker slowly vanishes into thin air. They say that the
legend originated in Illinois and later ended up reaching Spain in a time long
before the internet existed.
 Culture- Facts
1. Nudity is legal in Spain-There are currently no laws against nudity in public in Spain, which means that
you can go anywhere in the country naked., nudity is legal in the country due to its mainly Mediterranean climate
and very hot summers. But just because you’re allowed to walk around in the nude, it doesn’t mean people do it
whenever, wherever. It would be very out of the ordinary to spot someone strolling through central Barcelona
without any clothes on, but lying out on the beach naked, for example, is commonplace. People won’t bat. 2.
Wild fiestas-While religious fiestas are a big deal in Los Indi Spain, locals don’t limit themselves to just those.
Spain is home to some of the wackiest, weirdest festivals in the world. Whether you’re dressing in white and
chucking talcum powder at each other,, or pelting people with tomatoes, there really is no lack of crazy activities to
take part in in Spain, it’s a festival that involves jumping over babies. Pretty much these festivals are anything wild.
