Cyprus: The Mediterranean Island That Feels Like Spain's Hidden Gem

NICOSIA, CYPRUS - A recent travel vlog by "Marco y Sara de trip" has highlighted the surprising cultural similarities between Cyprus and Spain, particularly the Andalusian city of Cadiz. The content creators, currently in Cyprus, shared their dining experience at a local restaurant, noting the striking resemblances to typical Spanish terraces. "Cyprus is like the best place in Spain," stated Marco in the video, emphasizing the shared customs and the open, friendly nature of Cypriots, which he described as "super Spanish." Sara added, "The people have the same expressions as Spaniards... they are super similar, dark-haired and with the same look as us." The couple pointed out specific cultural parallels, such as the practice of serving bread with various dipping sauces, a common custom in Spain. They also remarked on the relaxed atmosphere of beachside terraces, a hallmark of Spanish coastal life. "We are here at the typical terrace next to the beach, with its typical terrace tablecloths," Marco observed. The video suggests that for travelers seeking a destination with a distinct Spanish ambiance, delicious food, and stunning beaches, Cyprus could be an unexpected but perfect choice. "Instead of coming to live in Cyprus, it's like we came to live in Cadiz," Sara concluded, reinforcing the profound cultural connection they experienced.
