Exquisite.

I contemplate moving to Spain...the U.S. veering ever-closer to descending into an economic abyss.

However, Spain is essentially a failed Socialist State, presently dependent (to considerable extent) on handouts from the EU to remain solvent.

Should Spain ever return to standing on its own, I may reconsider living there.

Genuinely wondering, why does Valencia never seem to make these lists? I know it’s third largest and reasonably well known, but its beauty seems passed over quite often. Love to hear others thoughts!

Where do you get the idea that Spain is a failed socialist state?

Spain is a parliamentary monarchy, now governed by a social democratic party, which is only orthodox in name, just as the Democratic Party in the USA is called left-wing, when it is entirely centrist.

Spain is the fourth largest contributor in the EU. The days of super-subsidized countries, as Poland and Belgium are now, are long gone.

Look at the EU budget
