1 Italy
2 Spain
3 France
4 Greece

Spain .

Greece
Spain (southern Spain)
Italy (not listed, but I'm "homesick")

What are your interests once you get to your destination? History? Fun in the sun? Strolling? Shopping?

Greece

Greece
Morocco
Spain
Portugal

How much time do you have?

I'd go to Greece, and either: spend a few days to a week in Turkey, or spend a few days to a week in Italy on the way back.

What month--all the difference !

How long is the trip? What month are you traveling? What do you want to do? Beaches, cities, museums, culture, partying???

Oops, I see on your other post the trip is 18 days duration.

Spain. Have been to both. Really like Greece, really LOVE Spain.

Portugal and Galecia, ESP.

Sorry I forgot to mention that we will be going in August for 18 to 20 days.
( Still trying to decide between Greece or Spain, been to Italy a few times sothat's out).

I am asking "where would you go?" As you can see I'm asking for your opinions on both places. If you have been to both places please respond if you have not then please do not respond.

Following the instructions, I do not respond.

I've been to both places, but NEVER in August. So I guess my answer would be - neither. sorry

Have to admit, I wouldn't want to go to either in August with the exception of Northern Spain ("Green Spain"), but I haven't been there, so it's just from what I've heard from Spanish friends.

I love them both, but I would also pick neither in August. Crowded, hot and miserable...not my idea of fun.

How about Sweden,or Scotland?

Been to both - Spain in April and August, Greece in April.

Personally, I don't think the fact that it is August plays into this debate. I mean, August is what it is (hot, crowded, etc), but sometimes you can only go in August.

I think you will love whichever one you choose. If I really had to pick, I would say Greece. Islands, ancient culture and yummy feta cheese... what more can you ask for, really?

lobo mau, you crack me up!
