I'm from Spain, I've spent the last 1/3 of my life (7 years) in the UK and just about to move to Japan (just a few weeks!!!). Voted Europe obviously.

I'll keep the likes/dislikes short because I can talk about this for ages.

Spain like: Good food, good weather (not so much where I live though), good life, unless you're affected by...
Spain dislike: Economy is utter shit.

How come? Hasn't all of Spain got Mediterranian subtropical weather?

None of it is subtropical and not all is mediterranean.

Edit: here's the wetaher forecast for my city for the next week: http://www.eltiempo.es/bilbao.html

As you can see it's gonna rain 6 out of 7 days, and we're talking about summer, when it usually rains less.

The north coast has Atlantic weather. Were I live it usually rains several times a week all year round except July and August. This last April it rained all days but 3-4. Two years ago in Autumn it rained every day for over a month without interrumption. We still get hot summers though, up to 35ºC.

I totally didn't have a clue. I really thought Spain was always dry and hot like for example Greece (obviously not in the winter). Also, I am surprised that you have different climates in the same country since Spain is pretty much like a dense square in shape. I mean, Sweden is vertically much higher than Spain and logically should cover more climate zones and yeat the full southern half of Sweden has pretty much the same climate (just milder winters in the very south and slightly more rain on the West coast).

I also don't know the definition of sub-tropical but I would have imagined the Mediterranian was sub-tropical since it's not very far from North Africa.
