Much as I loved to visit Spain, there was something intensely disappointing going on. They seem to be building US-style suburban sprawl as fast as they possibly can, having learned none of the very obvious lessons about why that’s a terrible idea.

And they are building vast amounts of new car infrastructure without EV charging, at all. Like, guys, it’s gonna be illegal to sell new internal combustion cars in just over six years. Read the room.

Driving through Andalusia was like driving through bits of the US southwest, and not in a flattering way.

It was a relief to cross the Guadiana back into Portugal; the misguided tribute act to Arizona was getting a bit much.
