خلفية ثقافية
In Spain, the 'abrazo' is often combined with two kisses (dos besos) on the cheeks when meeting friends of the opposite sex or between women. Men in Argentina are very likely to 'dar un abrazo' and a single kiss on the cheek to other male friends, which is more common than in other Spanish-speaking countries. The 'abrazo' is a sign of deep trust (confianza). If someone gives you a hug in a business context, it means you have moved beyond being just acquaintances.
