You were moving somewhere warm anyway.
Most people in your position move to Florida or Arizona. Spain is the upgrade on that plan: the same exit from winter, but with European culture, food, and a continent two hours away — often for less than a Sun Belt condo.
You'll know in about six seconds.
You've had enough of five tolerable months and seven you endure
Florida or Arizona is already on the shortlist
You want sun, but also culture, walkability, and good food
You'd like your money to go further, not just somewhere warmer
You're planning this on purpose, not on a whim
You want a real life abroad, not a retirement subdivision
What you have, and what's waiting.
Where you are
The Valencia Community
The same idea, done properly.
Moving somewhere warm is the right instinct. The Sun Belt is just the nearest version of it — and increasingly an expensive one, in places that were built for the car rather than for a long, good life.
Spain delivers the climate you were chasing and adds the things Florida and Arizona can't: a thousand-year-old town to walk through, a food culture worth staying in for, and forty countries within easy reach. Frequently at a lower all-in cost than the Sun Belt move you were already prepared to make.
If you were going to do this anyway, it's worth doing once, in the place that gives you the most life per dollar.
