annoying? I can't imagine how anyone gets anything done in that society with all those loud, excitable women running around. I feel sorry for the Spanish men. Hopefully they are at least good in the sack.
I was in Spain for 12 days and saw/heard nothing weird. Of course women only run around when chased by flesh eating zombies not in la puerta del sol. No idea about the sack sadly.

We Mediterranean people are pretty loud. Not just women. With or without zombies.
Are you gonna bark all day, little doggie, or are you gonna bite?
You would be loud to if you were at risk of being eaten alive by zombies :o)
And it really isnt fair saying that all spanish women are loud based on a movie character.
To be honest they are pretty loud in general, I lived with a few Spanish people last year, and they soon got the reputation of being loud, especially the girls. I think it's more to do with their language, it's full of el passion! Plus they speak verrrry fast which I guess goes hand in hand with being loud.
shareWe usually do shout a bit when we are being chased by murderous zombies. Although yeah, generally we Spaniards and Italians-funnily, not so much the Portuguese-tend to be louder than people from other nationalities, I don't really know why.
shareI think it's a Mediterranean thing. Greeks and Arabs can also be pretty loud.
Even Filipino women seem to talk more loudly than other Southeast Asian women.
Southern peoples are generally louder than their northern counterparts which probably has to do with sunnier weather and warmer climate.
However, on the one hand, it is a bit odd to judge the entire nation based on a single film character. On the other hand, I would be interested in seeing you staying calm while a bunch of possessed and flesh-eating monstrosities would be chasing you around a block of flats with no way out... I can guarantee you that most men, not only women, even the toughest ones, would begin to cry in such situations and behave totally erratically. You just need to look at what soldiers go through during wars and how a lot of them break down when they have to pull a trigger, narrowly escape death themselves, lose friends etc. A situation described in Rec would be much scarier than any kind of war humans had, because it would be something totally unnatural to us, evoking the type of fear unknown to us and bringing complete chaos.
In fact, I really loved Rec for portraying the behaviour of characters closer to what it would most likely be like in real life: chaos, panic and lack of those Hollywood-like super heroes who save the world. Even tough special forces in Rec 2 became terrified and ran about from one flat to another, also screaming in the process and not really being able to pull the trigger in most situations - something they had been trained for.
I worked with a Spanish woman and she was both loud and annoying. Certainly not due to being Spanish necessarily, just in her nature I think.
