    In Spain they celebrate their birthdays by opening the gifts first compared to what we do next they have a little run around and a chat then they have a special meal after that they have an afternoon nap.

    The parents 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 have a decent amount of time of sleep during the party in the afternoon
    The party usually takes 3 to 4 hours to end if u ask the parents to pick their child up don’t expect special promptness.
    They have a famous dish called baella
    The usually have presents at the start of the party 🎉
    Some people will go out to popular places that people will enjoy but some people will stay at home 🏠 have a little snack and play at home if not give them some paper and coulouringpencils

    In Spain they have a special dessert called merienda or an afternoon snack, a chorizo with bread perhaps a cake with family and friends in the neighbourhood.

    They “merienda is called afternoon snack,they have bread but sometimes they have cake with family and friends in the neighbourhood. They go to bouncy castle,they hire a clown and they play game with each other.They play active games.They go to famous popular landmarks.People pay for the birthday party , and they don’t make a mess in the house. The host may want to prepared with extra party. The Guests and younger or older siblings often will be at the party as well even made ahead of time, so again, be prepared, but don´t worry too much about the games not being age-appropriate for all because the children always seem to find something to do (just in case, have on hand some paper and coloured felt tips to occupy any age).

    The people make a special dish called paella and share it as a family and friends. The grown ups
    Have the bottom part which is the best and crispy part.
    The kids think that that’s not very fair that the grown ups have the best part.
    And the host say to the parents before the party that if there going to work and they leave there kid they have to leave them there for the whole party even though it finishes late and have school tomorrow

    They have an afternoon snack, a little it of chorizo and bread.
    Adults have an afternoon nap.
    They open presents as soon as you arrive.
    Parents drop off their children and then come back to pick them up

  12. Spanish people don’t often celebrate their birthdays 🎉 on the day they were born they mostly celebrate it on saint patricks day . But not all of them do …

    There birthdays 🥳 may be similar but there are some differences. A famous dish called paella 🥘
    is really popular on birthdays . and instead of saying happy birthday 🎈 they say Feliz cumpleanos .
    However they still have the best part …

    CAKE 🎂 so there birthdays are kind of similar and still have the best bit.

    Toleen xxx 🥳🎈🎉

    1)We usually have parties at home but in Spain they usually popular places like bouncy castle or palaces.
    2)The adults get the crunchy part from the part of the famous dish called paella and the children get the top part of the dish.
    3)In the UK they open presents at the end but in Spain they open the presents at the end.
