In response to: I was married for many years and never had to go through the experience of meeting the parents as my ex husband´s parents had died before I met him.
Since then, the only really serious relationship I´ve had was with a man whose parent were also deceased.
Tomorrow I am meeting the parents of my boyfriend, and I have to admit I am not really looking forward to it in many ways. Not that I´m anti-social or anything, quite the opposite, and I meet new people every day. This is different though, and Spanish families are very close knit and traditional.
Any advice or tips?

Okay here are some for you to think about:
Dress appropriately; ensure your manners are right for Spain; bring a small gift; avoid controversial topics; and above all be yourself.

I'm glad I like Nordish ones...those who don't talk to their relatives.
Girl, I'd suggest you behave moderately: not too quiet, not too happy. If too happy, I see them wanna dance with you the for the whole day.
Jee...
I think that the most important is to show great connection with your boyfriend. If they sense that your feelings for their son are genuine, they will make you feel at home.
Good luck, Jan

The Spanish are a welcoming people, as long as they can see you are genuine.
Be yourself, no airs and graces, show you have an understanding of the local culture and don't mention Franco
Enjoy, you will have a great time

I don´t intend to talk politics! However I do know that they were publicly anti Franco, at a time when it was quite dangerous to be so. Polar, thank you, I could not be anything but myself, so I won´t be pretending.
John, I´ve already decided to wear a nice summer dress, and I´ve bought a good bottle of Spanish red wine to take.
Cristina, you are so wise sweety, I think you are right and they will be more concerned about how I am with their son.

Thanks Olso. I´m sure I will.
It is strange to be a middle-aged woman seeing a middle-aged man and still having to go through these things as if I were a youngster though, don´t you think?
