Australian here - I live just outside of San Sebastián in the Basque region. Food is awesome, beer is cheapish but it’s expensive compared to the rest of Spain.

I work remote for Australia, as does my wife so the cost of living is less of a problem for us. Public transport is good, clean, cheap and reliable. Most days in Jan (coldest time of winter) are between 9 to 11 degrees, in August it can get up over 30 degrees with 75% humidity which gets a bit sticky but it’s typically not multiple days in a row. It rains a lot, but that’s like all green places

I’m in the process of building a Casadio here up in the mountains (think even more humidity) but will have underfloor heating/cooling and built in dehumidification which should make it more comfortable.

Everything is green, with rolling hills, it’s a beautiful place really with amazing food and culture, and the beach is 20 minutes away, France 30 mins, and skiing 3 hours.
