Both written and oral communication are constantly involved, according to Prieto Grande (7), not only «hechos lingüísticos sino también culturales» in other words, according to Vez (edit.), Guillén y Alario (125) «hechos de cultura expresados por hechos de lengua». Proverbs can be considered as a gateway to culture, a deep popular culture. In addition, we have to say that proverbs constitute a very important linguistic and cultural content and an approximation to the other people’s culture. Based on the idea that proverbs hold a vast cultural richness, we suggest an approximation between two cultures: the Spanish and Romanian through the use of several proverbs related to meteorology and their correspondent translations. We would also like to highlight all those cultural elements that give them identity and make them turn into a big challenge not only for translators but also for teachers of Spanish as a Foreign Language.
