(obviously I'm not talking about Benidorm)
I've been all around the world, Lisa Stansfield style. to the South Pacific, Asia, the Americas, all over Europe...but they are no more beautiful than Spain which is only a 2 hour flight away. I would move there tomorrow if we could feasibly make a living there.. sigh..

YABU imo.

But yeah, it's a matter of opinion.

It's Italy or actually parts of the UK for me.

Really?

My MIL is Spanish and moved here when she was 16

She rarely goes back to visit cos she much prefers it here

Different strokes and all that

YABU it is about opinion. We drove through the Yorkshire Dales today. Absolutely beautiful.

YABU. You clearly haven't been to Scotland.

I doubt you'd find anything more beautiful than England on a sunny autumn day with all the leaves turning russet and gold. But thats just me.

For sheer vibrancy, latin America, I'd move there like a shot. Mainland Europe never has done it for me.

Every country has its own beauty. I love Spain too OP.. especially the Catalan area, towards the Pyranees.

Beautiful is different things to different people.

Spain to me is not beautiful, nor are the hills and greenery of the UK, I think the beautiful parts of the world are the places with lots of sand and sea.

England has it all. From the Lake District to the Cotswolds, Northumberland to Cornwall.

I love parts of Spain but can think of plenty of other countries that have beautiful regions too.

Not sure this makes sense as an AIBU tbh, surely it's a matter of personal taste/opinion?

No, like anywhere i've been to some bloody awful places in Spain. But yes there are nice areas too. However I now live in south Devon and love it.

I see beauty everywhere.
The world is like a giant fruitbowl of beauty. How to say the perfect pineapple is more gorgeous than a perfect grape or mango? I don't need to make such a judgement - just open my eyes and love it all.
