[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Portugal!  You could spend some time in Lisbon and some time in the beachy area of the Algarve.  It's much cheaper than most of Europe.  Lots of sunshine and fresh fish. You can also travel to Spain very easily. [/quote]

+1 again.  We were in Lisbon for 3 weeks in a rented flat earlier this year.  Sunny, welcoming, a strong sense of history, lots of art and new shops/restaurants too, and great food at super cheap prices.  Most people speak English quite well, but if you speak some spanish or French, you'll be able to decipher a lot of written material.  Small city is easy enough to get around by foot (but hilly, so you get some exercise).  But there is good public transportation & cheap taxis too.  Day trips to sintra, cascais, evora.  Train will take you to beaches within 20 mins.  NYT did a video and short article just yesterday or maybe day before.  It's beautiful![/quote]

Another vote for Portugal. We went last fall and loved it. Food etc much less expensive than Spain, France, Germany, and Austria. [/quote]
