Cultural Note
In Spain, tender la ropa (hanging clothes out to dry) on the balcony or terrace is the norm, as tumble dryers are far less common than in the US. Clotheslines strung across balconies are an iconic sight in Spanish cities. The expression 'ropa sucia se lava en casa' (dirty laundry is washed at home) means you should keep personal problems private.
