Which towns / cities are a subject of jokes in your countries?

[capocannoniere]

Lepe (an Andalusian village) as people of there being very ignorant.
Basques as super ignorant, almost dumb and very savage people.
Catalans as very stingy and money grabbing people.

In Argentina, Gallegos are joked on as very dumb, same thing with Portuguese in Brazil.

[capocannoniere]

Taubaté/São Paulo not long ago became a joke because a woman from the town faked a quadruple pregnancy and got media attention.
So when something's fake we say it's from Taubaté.

In Argentina, Gallegos are joked on as very dumb, same thing with Portuguese in Brazil.

I know, but not here in Spain.

In some Latin American countries that there was a lot of Spanish immigration (like Cuba, Venezuela, Uruguay, Argentina, etc), lots of the Spanish immigrants were from Galicia, which is known as being a very rural region from Northwestern Spain. For that reason they frequently do the generalization of calling "Galician" to all Spaniards in general. Most Spanish immigrants (many of them Galicians) in Latin America were humble but also industrious and hard working people (something like Irish in North America). But since many of them were mostly rustic and illiterate in general, in these Latin American countries they make many jokes about Galicians being dumb

This is another joke about Galicians (from those Latin American countries that received many Galician immigrants):

In the image they portray a typical Galician rural man:

There's a funny thread going on atm on the r/portugal subreddit asking:

"Portugal is throwing a party and all the cities are invited. How does each city behave?"

https://www.reddit.com/r/portugal/co...as_cidades_do/

https://www.reddit.com/r/portugal/comments/z4p128/portugal_organiza_uma_festa_e_todas_as_cidades_do/

Some auto-translated answers, I just made a few corrections and added some context in some cases:

Lisbon is that guy who only talks about himself, how he has all the cool foreign friends and never listens to what others have to say

Porto argues with everyone, gets into a fight and leaves early

Coimbra says shit to look like an academic but he's actually a top alcoholic

The Azores talk a lot but nobody understands very well what they say

The Algarve went to the British party and then passes by the Germans. Never appeared in Portugal

...

After going to the German and English party, he went to the French party, and afterwards he threw a party and invited everyone. From Portugal only Tróia and Cascais appeared.

The inland cities drink properly and those on the coast watch

...

Except Coimbra, who sends the guys to drink penalties every 5 minutes while singing Traçadinho.

Vila Real arrives with a bag full of sausages, sausages, sausages and a bottle of Ricard that an uncle gave him when he came from France for Easter. He was going to bring covilhetes, but Gomes was closed at this hour.

...

When Chaves arrives, Vila Real tries not to stand out, it doesn't miss anyone calling it "Fech'à roda"

...

Meanwhile, Bragança, Mirandela, Chaves and Montalegre arrive, in a Mitsubishi with an open wooden box. They arrived late because they were hunting, but they brought 4 partridges and a few bottles of Porca de Murça.

Vila Real tries to move away, but after a while they are in a small group playing basketball and discussing which land is the coldest.

Braga rolls his eyes and goes there to tell them to behave, that they are making the North look bad. Vila Real tells him that "those who are there are sent beyond Marão" and Chaves asks him if he wants to take us "daintes".

Braga gives up and joins Guimarães. Viana do Castelo arrives, waving vigorously, dressed in Minho clothes and carrying gold. Braga says "I give up" and goes to join the VIP zone in Lisbon and Porto, where Coimbra is trying to enter but is barred.

Amarante, always in the wild, brings green wine and São Gonçalo colhão.

Rio Tinto comes dressed in the Ardidas tracksuit and smells like three weeks old tobacco.

Estarreja is that girl who is even cute but smells like crl and nobody knows how she hasn't imploded yet.

Póvoa (Póvoa de Varzim), on the other hand, is all good, but when she opens her mouth she scares everyone with that biolent accent.

Mirandela controls the sausage cart, wearing an apron and smelling of smoke.

Edit: part 2

- Vila do Conde is the man who lives from fishing, hardworking and humble but who seems to have some hidden change. They say he does odd jobs in somewhat shady deals, with Chinese and so on. The guys are a little scared, but deep down he's a good person. Uncle-cousin of Fábio Coentrão, he makes a point of mentioning him whenever he meets someone new.

- Braga is the secret half-party crush. Always in, she's been watching a lot of tik toks from Brazilian influencers lately, so she starts using some expressions that are a little Brazilian and the guys shrug their shoulders. It's up to her to party, she always leaves the fucking door open.

...

Braga is clearly not going to close the door ("are you from Braga" - an expression said to someone who forgets to close a door - because in elder days the rest of the country mocked Braga for one of the gates in their city wall never actually had a gate)

...

- Guimarães is Braga's sister, but they don't get along very well. Older, strong personality, big party girl and she's the "mother hen" of the drinking parties to make sure everyone gets home alive.

- Felgueiras owns a shoe factory, gold cross around his neck, half-open shirt, he likes to dress up and show up in his Ferrari. At the party, he doesn't contribute money for expenses, and secretly, without anyone noticing, he puts other people's money in his blue leather wallet.

- Espinho is an ex-fozeiro whose hobbies are surfing and gambling. Nobody likes him, but the people from the North only tolerate him because they like to go to his house with a pool and a view of the sea, to catch big bezainas.

...

Does this myth about Mirandela still exist? Do you guys in the rest of the country really fall for that? One day they taste alheiras from vineyards, butelo from Bragança or ham from Vimioso and remove these fake news from the collective imagination ��

This story caught on because the customs stamps were placed in Mirandela, from where the goods train departed. Hence the alheiras come from mirandela.

Note: the alheira de mirandela dish is something else, but personally I'm not a fan, I prefer grilled alheira with boiled potatoes and turnip greens than fried with fried egg

Guarda wears high heels and is constantly bragging about being the tallest. (at 1000 metres of elevation, it is the highest district capital) At night, she's on the patio wearing a top, turns to Lisbon all wrapped up in jackets, and asks her in a disdainful tone if "you call this cold?!"

Cities begin to form a conga line. Abrantes is ahead and Tomar is behind.

...

I've always heard (in the north) that those who go to Abrantes leave Tomar (verb "tomar"= to take it in) behind

Coimbra is constantly drunk but always able to carry on fascinating conversations. When you leave, she still stays and you wonder how tomorrow she will be. The next day you arrive at the doctor at 8 am and she is your doctor.

You have Figueira da Foz in a corner because the wind is so much that nobody can get close

...

Coimbra goes if you have parking at the door and the fine doesn't cost more than 1€.

Funchal arrives at the party, distributes the cheap tobacco from the airport, sends two or three jokes in the thickest accent he can manage (on purpose to make the "Cubans" gasp) goes to the bazaar because the party is not as good as a "Madeiran festival" and the drinks don't have enough alcohol...but he ends up sleeping on the couch because he doesn't have a return flight.

Barreiro arrives there with the portable speaker blaring loudly and drowns out the party music. When he tries to have a conversation with the people, they all start singing the song from the South Bank of Rui Unas and if anything disappeared during the party, he stole it.

Rio Tinto steals the cell phones that other naive cities leave lying on the table.

...

Red river dressed in ninja cap

...

Rio Tinto smelling like hash

Zoom zoom Entroncamento arrives in a UFO. (said to be a bit of a UFO hotspot)

Trofa arrives and the security asks for identification because he doesn't believe it's a city

...

If the inter-city doesn't stop there, something means….

...

actually it does stop

...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh7Uqvqk8Ng

How is it not a city if it even has an anthem? Trofa City.

Viana do Castelo put on her best clothes, put on all her makeup, then fell asleep and didn't even go.

Caldas (Caldas da Rainha) only goes there to send everyone to the crl.

Portalegre won't go because they forgot it existed and he wasn't invited.

...

Portalegre goes and takes the cousin. And jumps on him during the party.

Marinha Grande and expelled from the party for breaking windows in the street

Setúbal, the guy who goes to the mechanics course and who steals some shit at the end of the party when everybody's drunk

...

Fafe realizes the match and wants to settle the dispute with a duel in which the weapon used is a stick.

Leiria is the guy who was invited but didn't say anything, he doesn't answer his cell phone and nobody has heard from him for some time.

...

Leiria goes, enjoys like grown-ups and in the end, nobody saw Leiria or knows who she is.

...

Leiria is the guy who doesn't appear in any photo. By chance. Mysteriously. She has never been in the crosshairs of a lens. That or...

...

Leiria is that classmate who appears on the guidelines but no one has ever seen.

...

Leiria is the wedding crasher

Viseu clearly moves in circles at the party, never walking straight.

Castelo Branco is that hot girl that nobody knows. People start to get hot as soon as they get close.

Leiria swears she was at the party, however no one saw her.

Ermesinde is the most desired girl of the night. Rabo de Peixe brings fillets to the gang.

...

Ermesinde appears with an army of "good girls"

Lisboa tells stories of the day he slept with a foreigner, but everyone knows that she always liked Sintra better.

At one point, Lisboa says that the girl had to go home early because her boyfriend thought it was strange that she wasn't doing FaceTime on her outings. She Sintra laughs hearing the story, but doesn't say anything, because she knows what really happened in the other 5 days before she really came back.

...

Sintra got lost on the way because it's too foggy, but meanwhile there's a whole army of tuktuks taking you there. It doesn't take sn dps pillows n there are for tourists and that's what it can be. Don't stay late because there are satanic and Brazilian rituals scheduled for that night.
...

Porto arrives late on a motorbike and insists that everyone hear him. Only when everyone heads for the entrance does he turn off the engine. The guys even like Porto, but they get tired of it very quickly and prefer Barcelos, a more laid-back guy who makes less of a point to everyone understand that he's from the North, damn it.

Coimbra has short but interesting conversations with the people. It doesn't really have one group, but it fits well with everyone.

Beja only appears at some parties.

Portimão brings tobacco and everyone asks him to roll a few nights that nobody else knows about. He's a guy who goes to the terrace constantly and never gets into trouble.

Funchal brings 7 friends who weren't in the guest, but security doesn't even get upset because they already know what usually happens. Everyone enters and Funchal still goes to the entrance a few hours later to make Ponta Delgada enter as well. Obviously he was late because he had been swimming all day to get there.

Lisbon starts arguing with everyone saying that she is the only one who has a real Portuguese accent.

Santarém is in a corner and no one notices it, because the only thing they have to talk about is alterne houses and bullfights, so as the people aren't into that, they ignore it, thus being left alone drinking red wine from Carrascão, wondering if go to kikas or francesinha or even to the rural hotel when the party is over.

Peniche starts fighting with her cousin Nazaré and says that sardines are not good

Lisbon and Braga bring their Brazilian friends with the column playing funk at the top, they are never invited again The Algarve brings the English girlfriend who gets drunk with 1 glass of sangria and vomits everything

Guimarães is that guy who swears that if it weren't for him there wouldn't even be a party (Guimarães was were the Kingdom of Portugal was born)

...

I thought Guimarães was the one who, at the end of the party, would shit himself in the middle of the street, and at 6 am a friend has to come and give him a handkerchief to wipe his ass and say that if you don't know how to control yourself, you won't leave the house anymore .

Viseu and Bragança do not go because there are no trains.
