What did you like and or miss about Spain?
Today I was thinking about Spain again and missing it. I know everyone has different perspecives & preferences.
Art, food, whatever. "Dif'rent strokes"
So I thought I'd start a thread to see exactly what you liked, big thngs and even the little insignificant things like.....
Older couples strolling arm in arm
Tortilla de patata anytime of the day
Cokes in glass bottles...
next?

The museums in Madrid
The architecture and the sardana in Barcelona
Tapas in San Sebastian
The hills of Galicia
The boitefumiero swinging across the Cathedral in Santiago
The Roman bridge in Rondo, the Roman amphitheatre in Merida and the Acqueduct in Segovia
Kings piled one on top of each other in El Escorial
Walking the walls of Avila
Dining while looking over the Genralife
Dining over the gorge in Cuenca
Making friollas with an eledely cousin over a stone heated from wood.

The seafood.
Wonderful coffee everywhere.
Art, art, art.
The cheap, good wine
The beautiful, elegant, seriously-jeweled older ladies.
Tapas
The vibrant social life in the late evening.
Cocido Madrileño, Fabada Asturiana and Caldo Gallego...

Elegeant couples "strolling in the evenings" in Madrid.

Hi all.
BTW Confy's trip report is jam packed with all sorts of observations
like these...
for instance..the special gestures unique to the Spanish people. The way they emphasize certain points.

The most unforgettable experience we had was visiting the Basilica outside
Segovia in the Valle de los Caidos. The Basilica is carved into the mountain, and there is a view of the giant cross dominating the sky. The church music emanating from the mountain was haunting and when we walked inside a wedding was taking place. It was incredible.
Also loved the all the art, the people and the tapas.

The way the Spanish people greet each other with genuine joy.
The way, people bring their babies out in their buggies at night for a stroll in the evening warmth.
The way the older ladies dress to impress and stroll.
The lovely scent of flowers in the evening.
The men with the gorgeous brown eyes
God...I miss Spain so much.
