Do I need to speak Spanish in Nosara?
Many tourists get by just fine without a word of Spanish, but a little knowledge of the language will definitely help. Many restaurant and hotel employees, as well as quite a few locals, speak excellent English. Lots of others know at least enough to communicate the basics with you. If you do know some Spanish, use it whenever possible. When ordering at a restaurant, try to ask for your meal with the Spanish pronunciation. At the very least, be polite, and don’t assume that everyone will understand you when you speak English.
