For us the biggest displeasure of living here in Spain is their regard for the environment. We know that there are problems with all countries but for us Spain just does not recognise what it has got. The consequence of that it that they don’t do much to protect the countryside etc.
Here in Galicia we have recently learnt of a few plans to construct either new roads or other things which they want to attract tourist but we know will damage the surroundings.
We have learnt about some EU legislation that was written to protect the countryside. However the Spanish, we feel, think they are above the EU law and choose to ignore it.
Here is a web link to the above.
