Birthday Party in Spain
Wish someone happy birthday, bring a present and join in Spanish birthday customs.
In Spain the person with the birthday usually treats everyone, friends often club together for one present, and someone will tug your ears once for every year. The cards follow a colleague's birthday at work and the dinner party at her flat that Saturday.
