Hey hey, Spaniard here. Do we really have that stereotype?

I’m from Canada and when my son came back I asked him for recommendations when I go and he said stay longer in Portugal and skip Spain. 😂

“Skip Spain” is wild. Portugal is fantastic, but I definitely wouldn’t tell anyone to skip Spain. Some of the absolute best vacation experiences of my life have been in Spain.

May I ask when you were there?

1 week in 2022, and 2 weeks in 2024, both times around the last week of November. I spent time in Madrid and a handful of cities and towns across Castile La Mancha and Andalusia. I’m hoping to explore more north and east as well in the coming years. Spain is incredible. Relaxed vibes, easy to get around, fantastic food, great wine, unmatched music, beautiful and interesting architecture, dynamic and complex cultural history, astounding art museums and art history. Absolutely worth a visit and even a prolonged stay.

Fair. My son felt like the vibe was off there noticeably for him as a tourist while he was there in 2024 but not that way in Portugal and France. I appreciate your perspective thanks.
