People in Spain have cakes and presents just like other people do, but their dishes are different to people around the world. Sometimes the adults take naps. The cook usually makes the dish called paella. Paella can include rabbit’s meat, salt and other items too. The only people who get the crispy part underneath the paella is the adults.

Spanish people eat paella on their birthdays and they go to sleep after they’ve eaten this is also called a siesta. All of there ancestors come over even there aunties and uncles come over to have cake for peoples birthdays and share other foods with there family members and also with friends.
Paella is made of powder to make the rice yellow you can put whatever you want in the paella but there is a very traditional way to do it. They sing happy birthday in Spanish.

On a birthday in Spain, instead of doing 9-10 or any other age taps, you pull your ears lightly in Spain.
When your in Spain, after parents eat, they have a nap.
For dinner when your in a birthday party in Spain, the adults are allowed to have the down bits of some food that some people could have when you eat dinner in Spain, but children can’t have the down bit of the food, but sometimes it could be a different type of food.
In Spain, you have this traditional food and it’s basically rice and pie, and they do it in birthdays.-
