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.

That's shocking. Only around 22 degrees during mid-day? That's the same we have where I live in Sweden (just south of the middle). And our weather SUX.

Yes, the sky's totally covered with gray clouds, so the temperature can't go up much. However, when it's sunny the temperature goes up very quickly.

There are several climates in Spain. Oceanic (mine), Mediterranean and continental are the main three. And yes, where I live it's not dry at all, it's very green and my region is 50% covered in forests. There are also loads of mountains so with the humidity it gets really misty sometimes.

Here are some pics:

It's more or less like that right now. Last July it was rainy and cloudy all month, so real summer didn't start until August. This year it's happening again. Most years it does get hot and sunny by this time though, but except for July/August it's sunny less than a third of the time probably.
