Spain

Fun fact, Spain actually has the highest life expectancy of any country in Europe. That’s pretty uplifting news if you’re hoping to move there! Between their high quality of life and great diet standards, people are starting to live longer and longer lives. Spain has a few large cities that are known for different things throughout, but all of them are just as beautiful as the others. Temperatures range depending on which part of the country you’re in, but in Barcelona, the average temperatures range from 41 to 79 degrees Fahrenheit (5 to 26 degrees Celsius). Cost of living in most parts of Spain is considered some of the lowest in Western Europe; a couple can spend only about $20,000 per year while still enjoying regular meals out! With Spain’s amazing views, culture, and weather, this seems like a big win.

France

Everyone knows France as being one of the most romantic, elegant countries in the world, so why wouldn’t you want to retire there? In Paris, the summers are short and comfortable, but the winters are long and a bit brutal, depending on what weather you’re used to. Over the course of the year, the temperature typically varies from 35 to 78 degrees Fahrenheit (1 to 25 degrees Celsius) and rarely reaches below 25 degrees Fahrenheit (-3 Celsius) or above 88 degrees Fahrenheit (31 degrees Celsius). The downside of moving here is that Paris is a notoriously expensive city to live in. The cost of living is a lot higher than most other European cities, including Europe’s high tax percentages. You will likely even find that utilities and gas are more expensive than you’re used to anywhere else.
