First Impressions

I've been in Spain for about 28 hours now and have only seen a small part of this large country, so these are just first thoughts...

1) The well dressed Spanish man is most likely wearing a button down, no tie, soft blazer (corduroy or something similar) and a scarf. He may also be wearing too much cologne. 

2) Streets are narrow. Sidewalks are even narrower. 

3) Parking is an art form, and sometimes an act of bravado


4) Residential bldgs trend toward terraces, white or tan plaster, and tile roofs



5) There's a lot of space for a country with such a long history. Some obviously agricultural, but some just wide open. 



6)  They favor big block letters for graffiti, which is everywhere
