Non-verbal communication

 Non-verbal communication plays a significant role in Spanish culture, just as it does in many other cultures. Here are three examples of non-verbal communication in Spanish culture:

Kissing on the Cheek (Besos): In Spain, it's common to greet people with a kiss on each cheek, especially among friends and family. This gesture signifies warmth, affection, and closeness.


Eye Contact: In Spanish culture, maintaining good eye contact is a sign of confidence, attentiveness, and respect. During conversations, it's essential to look directly into the other person's eyes to show that you are engaged and trustworthy. However, excessively prolonged eye contact may be seen as aggressive, so it's crucial to strike a balance.


Proximity and Personal Space: In Spain very similar as we do in Colombia, people tend to stand closer to each other during conversations compared to cultures with larger personal space. This proximity is a sign of intimacy and engagement in the conversation.
