Things we hate about Spain......
 
I will start the ball rolling and I think many will agree with the first few:

Loud motorbikes

Barking dogs

Dog mess

Leaflets blowing everywhere

Lol - I thought you meant the plant too. I've just come back from a break in Spain and after climbing a mountain somewhere near Novetle I smelt like a Rosemary bush.

On the topic of dislikes I never feel safe having little ones running around with all the gaps, ditches etc. I even saw building foundations being dug once with no scaffolding to safeguard anyone from falling in. Must've been about 15ft deep!

TV (ok slightly better with la sexta and 4 but still 99% unwatchable)
The PP party - Aznar, Acebes and Rajoy especially.

Dust.
Cranes.
Dust.
Cranes.
People that block my car in when I am in a hurry.
Tourists that wont even attempt to speak the lingo.
Wild cats and people that feed them.

That's one of the things I love about Spain. You can come over, enjoy the weather, food, lifestyle and never have to worry about learning the language. Better if you do, no problem if you don't!

Thank you. Others may have decided that my other half had put the list on and put my name at the bottom.
