greetings and sanitions :red: my wife and I are british pensioners at the moment living in australia,we are looking into moving to spain to at last settle down for good,we are selling our home , and hope to have everything finalisedby the middle of february and be coming to spain in early april, which area of spain has the mildest winters?? does not have to be on the coast!we wont need a mortgage but do need ground floor only so no stairs, max imum 2 bedrooms, and yard or patiois this a feasable option our budget will be in the range of 150k euros cash, would be grateful for any information, do,s and donts etc,NN

Hi,there are several areas that have the mildest winters,one of the best is Alicante on the east coast of Spain, Costa Blanca ( White Coast).This city enjoys excellent weather all year round,325 days of sunshine each year with an average annual temperature of 19?C. Even during winter its average temperature is 16?C and most winter days in Alicante are clear and sunny,so it’s easy to see why the World Health Organization declared Alicante one of the healthiest places to live in the world.
The best spanish climate is in the southern and eastern coastal areas,though Andalusia is too hot in summer even for a spaniard like me who is used to the heat,also its waters are a bit colder than in Alicante,but like i said any place in the southern or eastern coast would be perfect if you?re looking for a great weather.Good luck! 😊
