Move to Galicia, the weather can be a bit harsh but a fantastic region.

GALICIA =)

I've got to be close to France. San Sebastian, the crown jewel of Spain, is the quinessential small European city. Barcelona is nice but too hot in the Summer. I feel very Spanish on the Castillian strip of Burgos, Segovia, Avila and El Escorial. Neither are far from Madrid, but the geography leaves much to be desired.

Soria! You know they say, ni te la imaginas.

I was going to write a treatise on this but youtube cut me off. Seriously though, Soria has the naturaleza, location (2.5 hours from Madrid), and tradition (los pueblos) in its favor. Plus, it has tons of space. It's the least populated province.

Mallorca es un buen sitio para vivir, buena temperatura, 30 minutos para llegar al otro lado de la isla, todo es playa, etc.

Interesting. I think all spanish regions have their strong and weak points.

For someone used to life in the city Galicia or Asturias shouldnt be an option. We all love nature but those are such isolated regions that no city man could bear for more than a month. For me the best equilibrium between nature contact and cultural offer/social life is the basque coast, but the nationalist atmosphere is annoying...

[germensit]

the best place is Valencia or Alicante

[ReyJobIII]

im from cadiz and im really happy living here but i suposse youre looking for something quite bigger so i recommend you Granada. if you preffer a place nearest madrid, toledo is a great city too. bye and buena suerte

[mariagcavallo]

I lived in Madrid for a while and then my family moved to the outskirts, near El Escorial. We're thinking about moving back. It was really nice, but I just love being in the city. Of course, being there as long as you have, maybe I would want a change, too. Good luck with your decision!

[llXenionll]

The best place for you is A Coruña.

Si pudiera vivir en cualquier lugar, viviría en el norte dónde hace muy buen tiempo. Pero no viviría tan lejos de Madrid que no pudiera visitarla mucho. (Lo siento, mi español es malo. Soy estudiante de español.)

[LordBuntaro]

No entiendo eso de que en el norte hace muy bien tiempo ¿conoces el resto del pais, para poder opinar con conocimiento de causa?¿Qué es para tí " buen tiempo "?

[ReyJobIII]

el clima del norte de españa es buen tiempo para la mayoria de europeos, te lo aseguro.,

[LordBuntaro]

@ReyJobIII

Eso es algo subjetivo, una opinión personal

[lacristina85]

ALICANTE! it's got the great temperature all year round and it's got the city side, and an AWESOME beach! it really is great

[justjustinme]

mi clase y yo en español 4 escuchamos a tí en la clase. :D eschuchamos al "the note" sobre familias grandes en españa, nombres de varias parientes, y besando con la familia in españa. :P

[spanishben]

Gijon, for sure, biggest city in asturias but not enormous, also the quality of life is one of the best in Spain. Also , we´ve got a beautiful beach, warm summers, and not very cold winters

CONGRATS ON THE BABY!!!!

[smellyboy22]

I understand your problem. I have thought about this question a lot. I did my TEFL course after university and moved to Madrid in July 2007. I got a job teaching English and was learning Spainish too. I met una espanola guapa y muy maja tambien. Pero after a year in Madrid I was feeling very stressed! I decided to move to Valencia. It's nice but I miss Madrid and my Madrilena preferida! There's no place like Madrid. But I think Valencia has a lot to offer too y es mas traquilo, llevo 2 semanas.

I lived in the center of Malaga for four years and absolutely loved it. I think it's a fantastic place, and it's set back from all the tourism of the Costa del Sol. But the whole time I lived there I always wanted to move to Barcelona. It's a bigger, more exciting city with loads to do, AND it's got beaches. If you're looking for a change of pace Barcelona definitely wouldn't be it, so I vote for Malaga.

[sullivanokaine]

I'm from Barcelona, but I have to admit that Malaga offers a great lifestyle.

[nacotete]

Move to Mexico!
