      I think, they mean the Nazar amulet, which shall protect against the evil eye (Böser Blick), not the evil eye itself.

      Assume they mean a protective amulet against evil eye.

    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

    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, …

    It’s a bit unsettling that this is about the EU but it calls it Europe
