I have never been to Portugal, but I will go back to Granada. Spain is the country in Europe in which I am most comfortable. Partly the landscape reminding me of Australia, partly the people. Lots of Eucalypts in Spain too. They can be scary in fires because the oil vapourises and can ignite ahead of the firefront leading to extremely rapid fire movement. There were terrible fires in Victoria a couple of years ago now and hundreds died and whole towns were completely burnt, even though there was considerable distance between the town and the forest.
