Sueño con España

Sueño con España

It may be only a dream but this is what I'm looking for.

A small town, less than 5000 people. Cool summer weather - maybe 21 to 27c in the middle of summer. A few cobble stone streets. Sidewalk cafes with people drinking coffee/wine/beer. A slower lifestyle. A place to rent an appartment for a month or two. I want to visit Spain for awhile.

Am I dreaming or does it exist?

Your sentence should rahter be "sueño con España" (I dream of Spain).
If you say "sueño de España", you'd be saying "Spain's dream".

Muchas gracias. That does make more sense. I love the way you explain it.

It does exist. You could do this in Tenerife in winter

"I exists" might be better said as "It exists"... yea..my first helping post..

Where in the north might it exist?


@Perikles - Tenerife, in the summer as well?

Edit - I just looked it up. That's not really the location I was thinking of...

Sorry, I forgot the 't'.

It () can exist in Galicia, Cantabria, Asturias and Euskadi (the north coast). There are other regions in the north with no so hard temperatures we are used to in summer (here 35º-38º at midday is a common temperature).

Eso es un poco caliente para mí. I'll be looking up those places and checking them out. Muchas gracias.

Remember that both Galicia and Euskadi are bilingual regions. Asturias has a dialect, but I don't think you're going to have the problems you could have in a bilingual region. Both Cantabria and Asturias are really beautiful and green places (with both mountain and sea). Maybe it rains a lot there (not so much in summer), but this is the disadvantage of a green land.
