Have you ever wondered what defines happiness? Is it money, fame, or the ability to pursue your passions? Many people believe that having money does not necessarily lead to happiness or fulfilment. Despite Spain's lower income level compared to Hong Kong, it ranks much higher in happiness indices. In the United Nations' World Happiness Report for 2023, Spain secured the 32nd position, while Hong Kong ranked 82nd, a significant difference of 50 places! What factors contribute to Spain's happiness, is it their religious beliefs, cultural values, or attitudes towards life?
Through first-hand experiences, interactions with the locals, and engaging in community services, this tour aims to unveil the secrets of happiness in Spain!
