Have knowledge of general culture, at least in relation to Spainit is usually something that is assumed of any Spaniard. However, sometimes a spontaneous question can cause a very funny moment of confusion. Proof of this has been Karin Herrero’s video.
“Checking how much we Spaniards know about our own cities“, the journalist titled in his profile TikTok. Thus, while walking through the Plaza de Callao, in the heart of Madrid, the man approached different passers-by to ask all kinds of questions.
The system was simple, you just had to approach a group of people and always ask the same questionnaire, without knowing that each of them would give a different answer. And it is that The only thing they all agreed on was being wrong. “Where are the Ramblas?” Herrero asked, to which they responded from “Granada” to “Valencia.”
To make it more fun, instead of correcting them, the journalist gave them the correct answer so they could continue with their questionnaire. Thus, he ‘discovered’ among others, that “the mosque” was on “las Ramblas de Grenade“or that he Betis It is a “Valencia” team. “I said it by chance,” said the young woman, who claimed to have seen “a game” of Betis in that city.
Some of the most striking responses highlighted that Not only is Andalusia “a city” but, in addition, it is where “the Fallas” are celebrated. or that the Manzanares River passes “through Seville“Although, there were also people who decided not to respond to avoid making a fool of themselves.
The publication already has almost two million views on TikTok and thousands of messages. The comments tray has been divided between those who laugh at the ideas of passers-by, and those who criticize the lack of knowledge. “This has to be a joke, I can’t believe they don’t know this,” “we did not become extinct by a miracle” or “the worst is the one who says he has gone to Andalusia to the Fallas”.
