AN Andalucian expat has shared her reasons for why Spaniards can’t stand living in London.
For many Spaniards, London is synonymous with great work opportunities, a buzzing social life and sipping pints in cosy pubs.
However, the dream couldn’t be further from the reality according to one Sevillan expat.
Coraline Diro Mero lives in the English capital and says ‘no Spaniard wants to stay’.
One of the big problems, she says, is not making friends, but keeping them.
As in any big city, it is easy to meet people but they are often transient and it’s hard to keep those friendships afloat.
She also claims the British climate can cause ‘depression’, saying: “You don’t believe that the weather can affect you until it happens to you. One cloudy week, then two, then three, by the fourth you’re a bit depressed.”
Similarly, she says Brits are ‘cold and distant’, making it hard to integrate.
Finally, she claims ‘there is no authentic British food’ despite the wide range of international cuisine available in the city.
