Does Spain Have Life Figured Out?

Spain just won the World Cup.

Lamine Yamal is becoming one of the biggest athletes on Earth.

Carlos Alcaraz is already one of the faces of tennis.

Spain won Euro 2024.

Lamine Yamal became one of the youngest superstars in football history.

CHAPTER 2: The Slow Life

MY NOTES:

Spain feels completely different from America.

People take long lunches.

People sit at cafs for hours.

People stay outside until midnight.
