I think, they mean the Nazar amulet, which shall protect against the evil eye (Böser Blick), not the evil eye itself.
Forty years as a Spaniard and I just learnt now tourists come here to buy espadrilles, which is even a word I just learnt from this map.
39 myself and this is the first time I've heard the term espadrilles, for me allways had been "zapatillas de estar por casa". The more I know!
They mean this type of traditional outdoor shoe. Espardenya is more of a Catalan thing, and popular as a souvenir. Though calling it "most popular" might be a stretch.
I think there's an error because it says "chocolate" for Ireland, Belgium and France but it should be Ireland, Belgium and Switzerland
Yeah sorry we're getting rid of Switzerland and just making it France 2.
TIL people go to Portugal for the cock.
And to Austria for the balls
So Beer is a souvenir now? I can get behind that
When the doctor tells me I have cirrhosis, I will fondly remember my time in the beer motherland.
Hey I was just telling my girlfriend yesterday that the best way to spot a tourist in Paris is to look for a beret
Was walking past the Musée d'Orsay one day and saw a family strolling along enjoying the sights.
The teenage boy ran up behind his dad and flipped the beret off his head
I was not surprised when the dad gritted his Uncanny-valley teeth and roared "GADDAMM IT RANDY!!!!!!"
😂
Is an Umbrella really a souvenir, rather than just a necessity they end up buying because it's pissing it down with rain here in the UK?
They've forgot to colour some islands with matching colours to their mother country, e.g. Bornholm, Gotland, Sardinia, Corsica, ...
France is there twice
We've had first France. But what about second France?
I'm a little surprised the Netherlands isn't tiny windmills
Calling LEGO a souvenir is bold.
How many balls did Mozart have?!
This must be bs
