Other than a complex history, wonderful language, magnificent architecture, delicious food, beautiful landscapes, interesting culture, and great people, I suppose its just another place.

Here a a few of the things which were special for me about Spain;

a walk down the Ramblas in Barcelona topped off with a cold beer at Cafe Zuric on the Plaza Cataluña, while girl watching!(A favorite sport in Spain!)

sitting on the wall of "El mirador de San Nicolas", in Granada watching the majesty of the Alhambra!

looking on in awe at the famous, Mosque - Cathedral of Córdoba.

telling my wife I loved her in the gardens of the Royal Palace of Aranjuez, while listening to Jose Felicianos's version of the " El Concierto de Aranjuez," on my blackberry!

seeing the beauty of the ancient city of Toledo, and walking were Romans once walked, and were Christians, Jews and Moslems once coexisted in peace.

Finally, being caught up in a demonstration in the Puerta Del Sol, in Madrid, and then shopping at El Rastro, finally, a cigar and a glass of brandy on my balcony overlooking the Gran Via, watching Madrid go by!

I'll tell you about this years trip at the end of October!

Your profile does not specify where you are from, but I would think that you do not live in a Latin American country or in the United States. Where do you live? I am curious. Because Spain, like other countries from the world that we are not from, is very special and has a lot to offer.

I love Seville, but I get the most horrific hayfever there... - afowen, Apr 4, 2012
Perhaps it's the orange trees? I love it too. And the pueblos blancos in general.. - annierats, Apr 5, 2012
