/Sounds like "preh" (as in "press") + "sehn" (as in "set") + "TEES" (as in "tea") + "moh" (as in "more")/
The habit of showing up to work just to be seen, without actually being productive. A presentista arrives early, leaves late, and gets very little done, but never misses a chance to be noticed by the boss. Widely criticized as a management problem in Spain, Argentina, and Mexico, where face time often matters more than results.
“That manager rewards face time over results, which kills any motivation.”
“There's a lot of seat-warming here: people show up early, leave late, and barely get anything done.”

Merendero
A casual, open-air eatery typically found in parks or on the outskirts of Spanish cities. The merendero is a beloved part of Spanish leisure culture: a laid-back spot for afternoon snacks and informal weekend meals, often surrounded by greenery.
