Spain

After living in Spain for a few years, I am still not sure about my feelings for the country. Spain has given me a lovely girlfriend, many good friends and loads of good memories, but also lots of frustration during these years.
I guess I arrived with the prejudice of Spain as a maņana land, and I have to say that I have had that prejudice reinforced a countless number of times. Things are not exactly happening as efficiently as we are used to up north.
But I would for sure recommend anyone to give Spain a visit (or preferably several visits), as it has a lot to offer:
A long, interesting and living history; the peninsula has a diverse geography with many spectacular sights; lots of fresh fruit to eat; beautiful girls; the delightful language of Castellano (best enjoyed with an Andalusian accent) and a lot of sunshine for those who appreciates that...
On the bottom of the downside-list, we of course have the bullfighting culture and the unpleasant bus drivers in Zaragoza...
