Hello Everyone! I'm new at this, so please excuse me if I screw this up. I'm interested to Know what to bring and how to dress in August of 2005. I plan to visit my aunt and cousins in Reus,Taragona but I'm not really sure of what to bring.Thanks.Please feel free to write in spanish, I speak the language. By the way, I'm a girl.

It is HOT HOT HOT!!! I usually find I am overdressed, as I bring business casual clothes so I can go anywhere (churches, nice restaurant, etc.) without worring about what I have on. But last summer I saw a lot of people in shorts, capris, flip-flop shoes. It was so hot I was wishing I had brought some. People in the large cities dress so nice for everyday (compared to US) that I wanted to try to fit in.

Question: Do they typically allow patrons wearing flip-flops into discos during summer months??

Saludos, MadridMan

Madrid Man,
When I went to Spain in July, I was told by my Spanish friend that you can't wear flip flops or street clothes or they wouldn't allow you in the door.

Thank You Sparkalina for your input, I'll Keep that in mind because I also want to fit in and look nice but not too over or underdresses.

I'm sorry, but I just have this vision of MadridMan dancing in his flip-flops!

How's your walzing MM?

Sorry, it's been a long day today and I'm easily amused

Yea, I know what you mean Jo-anne. I'm exousted and an working.It's only 4:30pm here on the east coast. :p

and to add one more tired voice to the crowd ... maybe that is why I found this so amusing

I still don't think flip flops will fly ... but no street clothes I have images of little naked bodies with great large colorful flip flops invading alll the good night spots ... or could the writer possibly have meant to say dress up a bit?

I'll bite. Is the waltz a popular dance in Spain?

djc....to tell ya the truth, i never heard of that dance in spain, but then again, i haven't been there yet.
