A proverb is a short saying that gives advice or expresses truth. They are very well known because of its popular use in colloquial language. Spanish proverbs are a very important part of learning the language. If you are working on your conversational Spanish skills, then Spanish proverbs and sayings are a must. They are known as "refranes" in Spanish.
