Ok I dont know where my mind is at. Somehow it read picasso as dali, and somehow that made me try to I think spell fuerteventura... (I started fuerto fortura or something) Which has nothing to do with dali... the F was right though., What i was trying to think of was figueres aparently. (I ve been there, but apparently did not remember the name strongly enough. Well it was just a daytrip to the dali museum)

So triple wrong, wrong guy, wrong place, wrong spelling hahaha. Quizmaster can you accept fuerto fortura for malaga? ;) Haha

Any chance of changing the names of Ukrainian cities to their Ukrainian spelling? (eg Odesa, Kyiv) instead of the Russian spelling? It's good that the Ukrainian spellings are accepted, but they should also be used as the displayed answer.

On most quizzes where Kyiv is present it is spelled as Kyiv, I guess not for Odesa though
