Gallego en una escalera

Are you a native Spanish speaker or did you learn it?

I’m a native Spanish speaker. I was born and raised in Coruña, Galicia. I traveled around a bit, both in and out of Spain, but I’m currently back, living in Madrid.

I love my homeland, so here’s a chance for me to give it a bit of visibility with a very known saying about our ambiguous nature:

Si te encuentras a un gallego en una escalera, nunca sabes si sube o baja.
If you meet a Galician in a staircase, you never know if he’s going up or down.
