to think you'd struggle to find a more beautiful country than Spain?

[autumnlights12]

(obviously I'm not talking about Benidorm)
I've been all around the world, Lisa Stansfield style. to the South Pacific, Asia, the Americas, all over Europe...but they are no more beautiful than Spain which is only a 2 hour flight away. I would move there tomorrow if we could feasibly make a living there.. sigh..

North coast of Cornwall has it. Nowhere else I'd rather be.

Spain has nice bits. Everywhere has nice bits. Sunset over Vernazza in Italy was to die for though.

Or the view over the Dordogne valley from the Jardins des Marquessacs.

Ohhelpohnoitsa - thank you - I didn't know of that.

Spain - the view from the top row in Barcelona's Nou Camp stadium, look down and watch beautiful football, or look out to a setting sun over the hills.

yabu. Italy is far more lovely.

Yanbu - I thi k the countries on the med are utterly gorgeous

I don't think I could possibly choose which country is the most beautiful, there are so many heart stoppingly gorgeous places in the world!

I love Spain too. We drove down from the north to the south two years in a row and it was great, the scenery changed from the cold, snowy north to fields of sunflowers and then the dry south. It was brilliant.

mmm... I think too much of the Spanish coastline has been disfigured by awful buildings in cheap tourist destinations for my liking.

France does it for me though: from the rugged landscapes of Brittany to the Mediterranean coast, via the Loire chateaux and the mountains (Alps, Pyrenees, Massif Central, Jura)... I could holiday there for the rest of my life, as there are so many diverse and beautiful places to see.

Spanish food was a real let down, not too keen on the country.
Much prefer France, in particular the Côte d'Azur.

New Zealand, hands down. I live here and am still amazed by it's beauty. You have everything, green hills, sandy beaches, snowy mountains

South Africa for me. The desert, the beautiful coastline, the amazing rugged highlands. The diversity of climate. Spent 6 weeks travelling around the whole country and fell completely in love with it.. Would love to spend more time there but think I'll have to wait until the kids are a bit older.

Austria is more beautiful. Spain is a bit dry. I have no connections to Austria but it is breathtaking.

Spain is really beautiful. My DH is Spanish, we met there, honeymooned there, family is there, my dc are half Spanish... I'm biased

Sure, there are lots of beautiful places on this planet, but Spain does, IMO, take some beating. Salamanca, Toledo, Andalusia, the Sierra Nevada, Valencia! Stunning and breath-taking and gorgeous.

Italy is more beautiful :-)

YABU, Spain is mostly quite barren. Italy, UK, Germany, France all more beautiful IMO.

Norway is rather stunning. And breathtaking.

As is the Algonquin region of New York state.

Tuscany is gorgeous.

The Loire Valley is very pretty.

The utterly beautiful Cote Sauvage in Brittany has crashing waves and majestic cliffs.

And my own homeland here in my part of Scotland has rugged, pretty, glorious and commanding views all within a few miles.

... I love my home.

Oh - I forgot Portugal.

Some of the most stunning mountain countryside I have seen.

YABU. Scotland or The Maldives.

I've lived in Spain - and many other countries and in my opinion Spain is a bit 'bleh' apart from some exceptions of course. For me, its neighbour, France, wins hands down.

I think there are so many beautiful countries in the world and you really do start to appreciate them after living in the ugly ones (I've lived in Dubai)

Kashmir or Halong Bay, Vietnam, or Burma.
Or southern Turkey.
Or the South Downs.
How can you possibly choose?
Unless based on random geographical patriotism.

Nothing against Spain But TBH it's probably one of the less attractive countries.
