Weekend Small Talk in Spain
The Friday and Monday chat about the weekend, the way Spaniards actually say it.
In Spain the weekend is 'el finde', and Friday and Monday conversations at work revolve around it: tapas, going out late, long Sunday lunches, trips to the family 'pueblo' and the odd 'puente'. These cards follow a Friday chat with a colleague, the Monday catch-up and a plan made with a neighbour.
