Galicia, Asturias, the Basque Country, Rioja (that was good but my romanticised view of how wine was made took a dunt) as well as the holiday resorts. Lovely country, nice people. Oh actually I ve been to Fuerteventura as well, but it was full of Germans (down Jandia). Bit too volcanoey and windy for me but still fun nonetheless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevieKTID Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 (edited) I remember the first time I went to Majorca in the early 80s with my parents, I needed the toilet so we popped into a little cafe near our hotel, I thought to myself wow they have the same food here as they had when we went to Blackpool - my dad calmly explained that egg n chips isny Spanish, so for that reason f**k England for trying to ruin my first visit to Spain, we had Paella for dinner that night it was delicious. Also who doesn't like a siesta. Edited July 11 by stevieKTID 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velo army Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 I cycled from Alicante to Paris over a beautiful month in summer 2008. I've ridden across France twice now but Spain is my favourite country to have cycled across. Gorgeous wee towns (Cuenca is a stunning wee placey) and fairly unspoiled nature. Getting free food when you order a beer at a bar is the sign of a truly advanced civilisation. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the cable car up Teide there’s a point in the middle where it dips slightly, when it happens the place goes from a gabble of voices to deathly silence before folk realise everything is OK. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye been up on the cable car once and thought it was going drop in the middle. Coming back down was even worse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oceanlineayr Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Chorizo and similar Spanish cured meats so completely and utterly annihilates every conceivable English sausage it's hilarious. Good tapas is the food of the gods to add. Mon the Spanish 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbaxters Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 This allows me to re-tell the story of the time I walked past a big hotel in Glasgow and there was a big kerfuffle going on at the front door. Turns out four Spanish guys had got stuck in the revolving door. I told the doorman it served him right for putting all his Basques in one exit. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Venom Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Rodri's committment to playing with his shirt tucked in properly and his socks pulled up, and delicious small plates of food accompanying ice cold drinks in the sun are unmatched, so for those reasons Clive it's Spain for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumper Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 A pint costs one euro. A single vodka and coke contains 28 units of alcohol, and also costs one euro. The air conditioning in the buses works. They hate the English more than we do. Great bunch of lads. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
