What's The City

[farangsay]

OK

I tried SM blind because I got fed up waiting

for the google images to load.

So I googled autonomous zones in Euro land

(and saved a bit of time because I can spell it)

Howzabout Velas on the isle of Sao Jorge in

the Azores ?

They seem to have a few islands called Sao

this and that. Had a GF called Sao once.

Pause for nostalgia.

Ok pause over , am I wrong or totally wrong?

PS Hint LP I use Firefox with a Google bar with

a spellchecker and it wurks grate !

[Florin]

It's Funchal

[LaoPo]

It's Funchal

It is !

Funchal is the capital city of the island of Madeira, belonging to Portugal and an autonomous region.

Portugal is a non-Mediterranean country.

Your turn Florin !

Well bowlocks (only someone who has rowed competitively

will understand that term).

So often the bridesmaid never the bride.

Post something easy Florin.

Gissa break !

[Florin]

Here's one before I head off for ze night...and a free clue: Funchal and the city I'm posting now have a major thing in common

Actually, what the hel_l, I included another freebie in the title of the picture...enjoy!

[my friend I]

Sooner or later its going to be Spain

[Florin]

Nope, but the country is Spanish-speaking.

[dantilley]

Peru?

[DragonQuest]

Ecuador

[Florin]

No and no, but you're on the right continent...googling the picture title will lead you to some useful info, I reckon

[jezchesters]

Punta Arenas, Chile?

[Florin]

Right country, wrong city...this is where the other clue comes into play - a fine product in both Funchal & the city in my picture

[jezchesters]

Something to do with wine?

[jezchesters]

Santiago?

[Florin]

Yep, vino is the product in question...but not Santiago.

[dantilley]

No and no, but you're on the right continent...googling the picture title will lead you to some useful info, I reckon

Picture title gets replaced by a load of numbers and letters so no clues can accidentally slip through. Unless I'm missing something...

[farangsay]

OK I'll ask the stupid question.

Madeira ?

[LaoPo]

Vina del Mar - Chile.

[Neeranam]

Florin? Give us the answer.

[Old Croc]

You're probably right LP. Post a new one as Florin's done a runner.

Thanks Croc; I'm pretty sure it was 'Vina del Mar' in Chile.

So here's some new pics:

What's the City ?

Both pics are in the same city.

[Old Croc]

Looks a bit French -Canadian.

Looks a bit French -Canadian.

I'm happy you're back playing this game, Croc.... such a smart guy you are !

French ? I don't think so......the influence of this particular place/city is 2 countries up in the old world.

Canadian ? YES....

[Old Croc]

Victoria? Just guessing, no help from my usual sites here.

Well done Croc; let us know if we can post a new pic or that you can do it.

What's The City?

Hope Croc doesn't mind that I keep this topic rolling.

So: What's the City ?

LaoPo

[Neeranam]

Near the Baltic Sea?

[LaoPo]

Near the Baltic Sea?

No, sorry; far from it.

LaoPo

[Florin]

Sorry guys! Was horribly busy with work lately...It is indeed Vina del Mar. As for the current one...a city on a Swiss lake?

Welcome back Florin; happy I was correct with Vina del Mar.

No, it's not Swiss and not on a lake; far from it.

But considered to be in the Western EU world
