Catalonia, though nort a separate country, it dtrives to be. As such, i should add it to the wish list, in case their aspirations become reality.

Barcelona has always mesmerized me, called to me even. If catalonia remains part of Spain, it would be my number one choice within Spain anyway.

As an Autonomous State, it might climb right to the top, might. It would depend on which way such an independant Countries Government would deal with the entanglement of healthcare and education, from our standpoint.

Would they keep Universal healthcare? Would their education system suffer? I will have to keep an eye on such things, watch to see what happens in the October Referendum. It isn’t likely that either services would fall that much, realistically. But it would warrant watching.

Catalonia to hold referendum on independence from Spain in Octoberhttp://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/catalonia-referendum-independence-from-spain-october-regional-government-announcement-a7781321.html



As to Marijuana, catalonia would get top grades, as it would as part of Spain. Recent law shows the move staying in the right direction, while moving toward Independence. That is an encouraging sign. Catalonia legalises marijuana consumption, cultivation and distributionhttp://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/catalonia-marijuana-legalise-cannabis-consumption-distribution-spain-region-petition-a7816981.html

As to culture, and my personal research interests, well, it is Nirvana, fer christ sake. Dead center, perhaps a homeland of sorts. All of the Artists that I admire, the Mediterranean, the south of France. All of Iberia, all of Europe, and even North Africa, with in reach.

Catalonia absolutely tops my dream list… next test, economic feasibility… yup, that damn greasy buck!
