Not smile when you are being smiled at. Especially when talking to people, greeting them and saying goodbye.

Avoid physical contact and expand personal space. Spaniards touch each other a lot compared to other countries, for example, when introductions are made, while telling a joke or in other social situations. Your best reaction would be mirroring (I dont mean copying every movement but following the flow and watching people) otherwise people would think you are very rude.
