Well, I guess it would be a tossup. Probably Spain, although you have a point about the Greek food. My wife and I spent two years in Izmir, Turkey, which has been a part of Greece as much as it has Turkey, and we have fond memories of real lamb, feta cheese sold from the goat skin it was made in and ripe olives out of a wooden barrel.The Turks were a curious people so we got a lot of stares, but once you got to know them they werre OK. The Greeks seemed bit looser and more fun-loving, and when we were in Athens we didn't have the Mezzin (sp?) singing at us all hours of the day. It is common to see Turkish men walking hand in hand - a cultural thing withj no double meaning.
Spain, on the other hand, has a lot to offer. Spent a week in Rota, and the Spaniards have their own sense of culinary taste, and it was all good. The Spaniards...or at least the Governmet, reminds me a little of the Frogs, kind of snooty. They have exceptionally strict rules about foreign contractors doing work that a local Spaniard might be able to do. There are very stringent rules on the insurance a foreign contractor must carry, and the contractor has to prove in advance that a local csn't do the work. Neither my company nor my customer made mention of these rules, and I got quite a shock when I first tried to get onto the Navy base there. Couldn't get a week's pass, so I had to check in every day as a tourist and sign a piece of paper saying I wasn't there to work. Nice thing about the trip was that I got done a day early but couldn't get my return flight changed, so I drove to Gibraltar and spent the day there.
Dual citizenship maybe?
