37Like the rest of the world, Spain isn't perfect.Toy ny any rehetra any eran'izao tontolo izao, tsy tonga lafatra i Espaina.
38It may struggle to turn off its smartphone just like the US does, and it may slurp its gazpacho every now and then, but that's all part of what makes Spain-the real-world Spain, not the technology-free fantasy-such a lovely, quirky and complex place.Mety mitolona ny hamono ny smartphone toy izay ataon'i Etazonia izy, ary mety hisolitiky ny gazpacho-ny isaky ny mihetsika, saingy ampahany amin'izay maha-Espaina azy izany rehetra izany-ny tontonlon'i Espaina tena izy, tsy ny fientanentana mandalo ateraky ny teknolojia-toerana iray maha-te-ho-tia, tsy manam-paharoa ary saro-dazaina.
