National traditions of Spain
Welcoming a friend, colleague, acquaintance or relative, the Spaniards kiss each other on the cheek twice. In this case, a woman can touch the neck of a man, embrace him, and these gestures will only say about showing a friendly warm relationship. Spaniards quite actively interact with each other during a conversation; they touch shoulders or hands. They can touch even strangers on the street, after having entered into dialogue with them. The word 'kiss' is also a form of farewell without any overtone, so friends or colleagues can say it or write to each other. Spaniards are open people without prejudices and complexes, and therefore they freely display any emotions.
