You often hear people say that when Armageddon comes, the only survivors left will be cockroaches and Cher. Well, you might want to add McDonald's to the survivors list too. 
There are over 31,000 McDonald's locations world-wide and the catchphrase, "I'm loving it" has been translated to at least 16 different languages. And even though the menus may vary from country to country, the Golden Arches remain.
Of course, we expect to find McDonald's in bustling city centers, airports, and suburban spots frequented by moms in minivans, but nothing can quite prepare us for the shock we feel when stepping out of an ancient palace, museum, or monument and the Golden Arches are beckoning us to come inside and order a Big Mac (or if you're in Norway, a McLak salmon sandwich.)

5. Fañabe Beach Resort, Tenerife
We expect to find McDonalds in urban and suburban areas of the world, but a beachfront McDonald's restaurant? You have to go to Tenerife, the largest island in the Spanish Canary Islands, to experience this. According to Flickr member, Perry Tak, in South Tenerife there's a McDonalds restaurante at the the beach of Fañabe and Torviscas. And yes, there's outdoor seating.
