Those palm trees are not native of there. That is a palm tree farm... Spain also has even bigger concentrations of palms... The 3rd in the world, to be more exact. (the first 2 ones are in Africa)
I don't think you can really suggest that people here are ignorant of Spain, it's one of the most popular tourist destinations on the planet, and this is a weather forum, where you frequently remind us of Spain's charms. California is at a disadvantage because it doesn't have someone like you to defend it.
And I'm not sure you need to attack everyone who disagrees with you
Exactly for that reason, Spain is sold as beaches, warmth, sun, and maybe fewer green parts of the north. That and the cultural tourism, Madrid, Barcelona, Alhambra, Plaza de España in Sevilla, Sagrada Familia... right?
Who sells the +3000m mountains which have snow until June? Who sells the deciduous forests? The humid forests with Laurisilva (parts of Cádiz still have laurel, I posted it before), those lakes with coniferous trees in the Pyrenees, who sells them?
Exactly, not very much people outside Spain comes to a ski resort here, but yes, Spain has 5 important mountain ranges and lots of ski resorts. Who would think about that in the land of the sun and beaches?
Exactly bro! I'm not saying it as bad. Actually even many Spanish people ignore what Spain has. 5-6 years ago I didn't know that Spain had this tremendous variation.
And mate I'm not attacking anyone, I just replied rude to that guy (1 alone) I just replied exactly like him, in his mood, but I didn't personally attack him.

So Spain looks more like the American Southwest than the American Southwest?
I know, Washingtonias are native inside of a range in the US. He choosed a farm of Phoenix palms.
Those palms were from a farm, the name of the file itself included farm!
No bro, who said that? Just showing him that he can find those deserts. He told that "heh, how is this even a contest, you won't find none of this is Spain" while I shown that he is wrong. I didn't say it has better deserts hahaha.
You can Google it, in Tabernas Desert were recorded many American Western films!

You could say the same about California, which itself is advertised as beaches, palm trees, and surfing.

Yes but the people from the US and many more outside it know about Sierra Nevada range, it's deserts, sequoias, it's humid climates in the north; even lommaren surprised me showing me that climate which is warm in summer and extremely wet in winter.
Did you heard about the Irati Jungle of the north of Spain before I posted pics of it?
I have to admit that I discovered parts of this forest yesterday, I didn't thought that Spain had something like this:

I'm actually not the biggest fan of Mediterranean climates, I hate dry summers, drought-stressed landscapes make me cringe, but other than that they're okay in my book. Malaga looks excellent, it looks like a better version of Los Angeles, which is my favorite California climate.
