I preferred Barcelona, and that was before they prettied the city up for the Olympics. Not my favorite city in Spain, but I will take Spaniards over Italians any day of the week and twice on Sunday (I watched too much cliche ridden fottball over the weekend). They are better looking, nicer, saner, funner, far less smelly or likely to grope your wife.
As for the food, I again far prefer Spanish to Italian, but Italian cuisine is one of my least favorite. I suspect, however, that Tyrone already knows which type of food he prefers.
As for scenery, I will give it to Florence, but my experience is that the scenery was marred by the grimy dirtiness of the city. I felt like I had to look down all the time to make sure I avoided the fecal (not all doggie) landmines that littered the sidewalks.
As for art, I will take the Gaudi cathedral, park and buildings, the Miro museum, and the Dali museum over room after room after room after room after room of fucking Renaissance art. How many different ways could they draw the Madonna and child? I don't know, but clearly not enough to keep me interested.
