With the IKEA crib, it's now a brute-force problem: search every IKEA, see if it's the right kind of intersection, get yourself oriented relative to the intersection, and try to find either the low-rise Plattenbau up the hill, or the 1960s concrete stadium for local sports off to the left.

Far too verdant to be Madrid surely

this isn't saying mediterranean to me. Western Europe for sure
― rascal clobber (jim in vancouver), Monday, 21 September 2020 18:30 (five years ago)
Yeah, it doesn't look Mediterranean to me either.

haha, it's definitely that (I remember the stadium from Celtic playing them). damn, wrong again

Braga it is!

Hats off to the Ikea spotter, didn't even notice that! Good work all round
― cherry blossom, Tuesday, 22 September 2020 07:27 (five years ago)
Bravo!
I don't feel too bad about the Mediterranean thing as it's decidedly Northern Atlantic in the end.
― brain (krakow), Tuesday, 22 September 2020 10:44 (five years ago)
Oh, missed this one entirely, yeah, love that stadium.

Still think its a death trap.https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/77/Eduardo_Souto_de_Moura_-_Braga_Stadium_02_%286010593292%29.jpg/1280px-Eduardo_Souto_de_Moura_-_Braga_Stadium_02_%286010593292%29.jpg

Looks European to me. Buildings on the left have a bit of a French Haussmann vibe to them, but then further on there's a group that looks more middle European. The tower with the strange roof is probably key.

― budo jeru, Monday, 28 September 2020 00:53 (five years ago)
Some really distinctive buildings there but I'm lost, except to say it has a northern European feel. The style of the cathedral towers could give the region perhaps...
― Zelda Zonk, Monday, 28 September 2020 01:19 (five years ago)
Actually the domed towers on that cathedral seem to me more Spanish or Portuguese. But the rest of the pic certainly doesn't scream Spanish/Portuguese... There's what looks like a village in the top right hand corner, all slate-roofed, again making it feel more Northern European.

Oui exactement. Tower in the first pic just looks like a 70s block with a weird pitched roof added to match surrounding buildings.

Ah, blast, I missed that! I had even stripped the gps data from the exif. Edited now to remove the credit. Not my photo btw - apologies to the photographer for nabbing the image for entertainment purposes.

Thanks for the tip off and not revealing the answer ledge. I'm sure someone will get it in the more traditional manner before too long.
