It was easy to spot Americans in a crowd because they would be wearing shorts. It was easy to spot non Spanish Europeans because they wore capris. Are shorts not worn in Europe or something or is that just a Spanish thing?

Even the non spanish european men wore capris? Yuck
 

They probably wear pants for protection from the sun and bugs. Linen is very comfortable, even in the heat.

I think it is a cultural thing. Many cultures view shorts as children's clothing. I'm gonna wear what's comfortable and right now that is shorts and flip-flops. :p
