Where does the “Living in España or in Spain” meme come from?
The meme originated from a video by influencer account VamosaBarna showing a post-gym beach routine captioned “Me after the gym because I live in Spain”. The viral response that followed, “Que alguien me saque de España y me lleve a Spain” (“Someone get me out of España and take me to Spain”), summed up the feeling that the Spain sold by influencers and the España experienced daily are two different countries. The debate sparked a wider discussion about who can actually afford that lifestyle shown online.
