  1. I love reading this lol... from the UK no longer belongs to Europe, new destinations are now having relevance for Europeans. In addition to Portugal, I have read that also Italy and Spain are also excelling as ideal golf destinations, but on the other hand, I have also heard that the city of Barcelona is particularly becoming an emerging destination, For example, I saw some of its golf courses and seem me cool. We will have to go everywhere.
