Have you ever attended Cuban or Spanish "fiesta"? No? Than you're missing out cool stuff.

Fiesta? Yeah. With Spaniards or Cubans? Hell yeah! 
It goes pretty much like this: A Cuban or Spaniard lives abroad. But he has a loads of friends EVERYWHERE. And I mean it. There are so many Cubans here on Slovakia and I had not been aware of this fact until my mom started dating one. Now that he's been living with us for quite some time, there are always parties at our house, whether with two or twenty people. And I am not exaggerating. Sometimes, he just goes out and makes friends. Just like that, and he doesn't even talk Slovak or English that well. 
Then, out of nowhere, he has more friends in this country than me and I was born here.
But those parties are great. If you love cultural diversity and all that stuff that goes with it, you are very likely to like these parties as well. 

Even though when the party is supposed to start at let's say two o'clock, mostly the guests arrive at three or four o'clock. So in the beginning everybody is just talking quietly to the person next to him or her and sipping wine or rhum or beer or vodka or something that has alcohol in it. And everyone eats. (The best is when there's the Cuban meal- yucca, rice with red bean, beef and I don't know what, I'm not an expert)
As the time goes by, the atmosphere becomes relaxed and everyone's at ease, laughing and talking quite loudly. Then the music starts playing- either a radio, stereo player or real rhytms- and sometimes they start singing. There's so much joy in all that singing and whatnot! 

This is basically my experience. But when we traveled to Spain and were invited to such a party, it was all the same! Wine, wine, music, singing, wine, full house, good mood. 
Totally worth to experience!
