Cultural Note
Most urban Spaniards live in pisos (apartments) rather than houses. Buying a piso together is one of the biggest milestones for Spanish couples. Young Spaniards often live with their parents until their late twenties or early thirties due to high housing costs, making the first shared piso an exciting moment. The word piso also means floor level (segundo piso = second floor).
