Warning: Unpopular Opinion Puffin incoming.
I didn't like Spain or Portugal. There are far better places to go in Southern Europe.
Just my personal experience. Italy, Greece, Croatia, Southern France are all miles ahead of Spain and Portugal. One reason being that I felt like the locals hated tourists more in Spain, and felt like there was more crime, and that we were being targeted to get ripped off more. It's not that it's dangerous per se, I wouldn't be worried travelling solo, but it was more just really annoying to feel like I had to be "on guard" even moreso than other places and couldn't really relax. Also culturally doesn't even come close to comparing to others.
IMO! *dives for cover*
