Sorry to give you 16, but it would have been wrong to leave anyone out.
Of course, if you were to ask this next week I would give you a more serious answer, but for the moment the Spanish football team are the tops.
The BEST things about Spain:
1. The food – the variation in all the different provinces, from Salmorejo in Cordoba, to Fabada in Asturias, Pinxtos in San Sebastian, Arroz in Valencia, tapas in Leon, and everything else in between!
2. The outdoor lifestyle – who doesn’t love eating, drinking, and living outside?
3. The strong sense of family – Spaniards work hard to keep the family important, it’s a shame other cultures focus less on this as time goes on.
4. The climate. Of course!
5. Spanish wine!
6. The Spanish are generally happy people who take pride in showing others the best of Spain (in many other countries people are often too quick to criticise their own culture, and there us nothing wrong with a bit of national pride).
7. If I don’t say the pretty girls then someone else will!
8. Small traders still giving ‘trato personal’ – the supermarkets haven’t put everyone out of business yet.
9. The landscapes – From the lush green north, to the mighty Pyrenees, the deserts of Almeria, the Alpujarras, the Rias in Galicia, the wilds of Extremadura… the variety is unimaginable until you start to see it all for yourself.
10. What would YOU put for number 10?
1) They have nice weather
2) They grow really big onions
3) Down on the beach women get their t1ts out for the men to gawp at.
4) Theres not many french people
5) They like alcohol
6) You can smoke inside some bars
7) Its a short plane ride from the UK
8) If any germans go there yoou can chuck their towels in the swimming pools
9) They chuck donkeys of church rooves.
