A few customs I have learned about the Spanish:
on New Year's Eve, right before the clock strikes midnight, they eat 12 grapes and then give a kiss. then they stay up until 11 or 12 in the afternoon eating churros and big meals with their families and friends
they eat octopus about 4 different ways. i have tried 2 and they are pretty good. very chewy.
they do not eat breakfast. instead, they have coffee about 4 times in the morning until lunch around 2.
lunch is usually their biggest meal of the day. afterward is siesta. then they eat a light meal at 10ish.
they love their football (soccer). i told my high school class yesterday that i like real madrid the best of all of the Spanish teams and about half the class exploded in applause while the other half booed (the booers like barcelona).
they like to mix things with wine. there is a drink called a calimocho that is coca-cola mixed with red wine. then there is tinto de verano which is sprite or 7up mixed with red wine.
Just a few to name. This is not a custom but I do believe they are the most laid back people in the world, at least the most laid back I have met!
