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
Rosemary

Oh - I thought Rosemary was part of the list - was trying to work how you found a poor plant offensive!

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!

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!
