A brand new climate battle. Spain vs Greece, as requested by muslim12.
Köppen climate zones of Spain:
Köppen climate zones of Greece:
I personally prefer Spain due to warmer winters in parts of coastal Spain and for the bigger variation, also because in overall summer rain is more extended. Also I prefer it for Cfa and specially those many Cfb Spanish climates. Greece is my 2nd favorite Mediterranean country in Europe after Spain. Same in my opinion for landscapes: Both are the top 2 most beautiful and varied countries in Europe.
You can see landscapes of both countries in the posts from below (first post pics of Spain, second post pics of Greece, both countries have about 33-34 pics) I tried to find as much variation I could for both:
City-Data administrators, all of the pics (without exception) posted in the posts 2 and 3 have their proper sources below. In total they're a bit more than 60 photos from both countries, equal for both.
Spain is better in summer because Spain has some cooler places in summer than Greece, such as Bilbao, Burgos, Vigo, San Sebastian, Soria...
Greece is better in winter, because Greece has some places which are colder in winter than Spain, such as Florina, Kastoria, Ptolemaida, Samarina, Orestiada...

It's a pity that towns higher than Teruel doesn't have a proper climate station. Teruel in January has a low of -2.3ºC but i'm sure that some bigger towns from Teruel can have at least a -3ºC month in a year!
First, no need for these excessive photos. This is a weather forum. We care about the climate more than geography. Lol.
Second, there's no point of adding "both" to the poll. It won't be an interesting poll.
Finally, and to answer the thread, I'd go with Spain by far! It has places like Valencia, which are similar to Sydney temperature wise. Greece is too continental for my liking and, on top of that, it has dark, very rainy winters. Yuck.

Winters are little milder than I like, summers are pleasant, and precipitation is good.
Vielha e Mijaran probably has the coldest winters in populated places in Spain?

Well, some users can find similarities between them so that's why I added the both thing hahaha. Although Spain has a massive amount of Oceanic climates so they're quite different tho.
The photos of both countries are just to show how varied are both. For my part no more photos on this thread, for any of both!
Yes, Valencia has a pretty good climate imho. Although my favorite is AlmerÃa!

With an official climate station, I think that yes!
