Cultural Note
While Spain is known for its vibrant social and street life, 'quedarse en casa' has become increasingly popular, especially among younger couples. The concept of 'plan casero' (a homebody plan) — staying in to cook together, watch series, or play games — is now embraced without stigma. The phrase became especially meaningful during Spain's strict COVID-19 lockdown in 2020.
