Whatever it is we have more McDonalds here per capita than they would have in Europe.
I mean in Spain there is basically no McDonalds anywhere, you have to goto the big cities to get them.
Franchises are in big towns and big cities, not only McDonalds but the umpteen thousand franchises existing in any Spanish city. Luckily, people in the countryside/rural settings still eat food.
It all comes down from the Cold War and from all that dandruffy Antiamericanism sported by the "progressives". Back in those years, the "progressives" used to say that Coca Cola ate your guts and that McDonald's patties were made of frozen Viet Congs (no kidding!!). Currently, those progressives are in love with anything American, they are just a bunch of clowns with no personality.
