An Argentine woman living in Spain can't believe what's happening with police cars in our country.

Although they are united by the same language and some similar traditions, the truth is that there are many differences between Spanish and Latin American culture . Some of these are not immediately apparent, but once we travel and learn more about the customs of other countries , we realize that not everything is the same as in our homeland.
This has been the case for Azul, an Argentine who crossed the Atlantic months ago to settle in Málaga and has experienced firsthand how different Spain is from her previous home. On her TikTok account, @azulenmalaga , the young woman has amassed more than 36,000 followers thanks to her tips for other Latin Americans emigrating to the Peninsula , as well as her recommendations during her time in our country.
In one of her latest videos, the content creator wanted to talk about an issue that she has been aware of since settling on the Costa del Sol: the things that for Spaniards "are very common" , but that are not so for Latinos who have just moved there, who are often surprised .
One of the peculiarities that most caught Azul's attention was the state of the police and civil guard vehicles and how different they are from those in Latin America. " The police cars are new and they're not all wrecked ," the Argentinian began, referring to the significant difference between them and the vehicles used by the security forces in her country.
According to the young Argentinian, police cars in Spain are new models with hardly any defects, something that doesn't happen so often across the pond. "If you've ever had the pleasure of going to Argentina, you'll see that the old cars are completely normal ," she noted.
In terms of cars, this isn't the only aspect Azul highlighted that differentiates Spain from Argentina. The TikToker also highlighted the vehicles used in transportation services , as well as the workers in these businesses. "What's up with Uber? The other day I ordered one and a Tesla arrived . The driver was all dressed up , the car smelled clean..." the Malaga resident said, surprised.
Finally, the Spanish-American girl was also struck by the state of Spanish roads, which are generally well paved . " The streets don't have potholes or potholes ," she revealed with surprise, showing images of streets in Argentina, which are riddled with potholes and potholes. "Here, Spaniards complain about the state of the roads , and I'm like, 'You only knew!'" she concluded.
In response to the content creator's comments, the video has been filled with comments from other users on social media. One Spanish internet user pointed out, for example, that the streets are well-maintained for safety reasons : "If there's a hole or a gap and something happens to your car because of it, the town has to pay for the repair ," she explained.
Others, meanwhile, have insisted that this isn't a surprising aspect of Spain, but rather a result of the taxes citizens pay. " In Spain, police officers have new cars because everyone pays for them ," another noted.
