Yes Spain has great beaches, cheap alcohol, lots of art museums, historical cities, beautiful mountains, can offer a warm weather. These pros can make a place great to live. But are these things enough to make Spain great place to live? For me Spain was very much like a pain. Here i would like to point out what i didn't like about living in Spain after spending a year or, in other words, wasting a year there.
I can start from that the state institutions of Spain is very indifferent to people living there. They simply do not care what happens to people. Every day a lot of theft cases happen and the police do not do anything about it. They don't track the cases down even though they can easily look through cameras. So people who commit such actions of theft get no deterrent punishment. Your stuff can get stolen in a place with security cameras but yet you will do nothing but expect that maybe someone will find your documents near a trash can and give them to the police. It is not just about the police. In general, if you need something to do with official paperwork, it is likely to get some problems with them. They don't provide much easiness for people. You deal with some bureaucratic and unimportant problems. The bureaucracy is terrible.
Another thing is quality has been replaced by practicality which is not good for getting the right nutrition. Maybe fast food was not born in Spain but it seems like it is fully embraced there. To give an example: if you are used to eat bread a lot in your diet, you won't find a good one. The supermarkets use frozen breads which will start becoming like stone in a very short time. you better find a good bakery and if there is no bakery where you live, you are bound to eat frozen breads. Another example is that you won't be able to find good tea. All of them that are sold in the markets are quick tea bags that has bad taste.
It is not all about food but also other goods as well that prove quality has been replaced by practicality. You don't easily find something that is made in Spain. Most of the products are imported and you can't really find genuine Spanish products. Imagine you are going to buy a gift about Spain which is made in China. Cheap gets more attraction yet offers less quality, authenticity.
The last is that i am going to mention about Spain is that youth. I found them in general as poser, inauthentic, very selfish, not understanding unlike older generations. I most of time encountered with bunch of jerks. I personally don't think of spending much time in Spain again. I would go for holiday only.
