Hi,
Have you ever checked out Gran Canaria. Lots of expats in south of island. Especially in tourist areas. Check out Mogan. Beautiful fishing port. Only 1-2 hours to get to other side of island. Fantastic weather all year around.
Called the mini continent and not for nothing. Scenery ranges from volcanic mountains to lush tropical forests, similar to the Carabeann. When travelling to the north via the mountains expect to be fascinated. Only 3.1/2 hours from UK. Fantastic Beaches! Friendly people. I am going to live there myself hopefully within 12 months. I am currently in Malta and hate it.
Good luck!
