Here's a list of some of my favorite things about Spain:
1. Climate. Moderate year round. Lots of sunshine. Great for outdoor sports.
2. Food.  The food is awesome! Excellent seafood. Paella (rice and seafood, or chicken), bocadillos (Spanish sandwiches), jamon serano (cured ham), queso manchego (superb cheese), acetunas (olives), olive oil, wine. I live here in wine country with all the bodegas, gambas (shrimp), etc. I could go on and on here about the great food in Spain.
3. People and the lifestyle.  It doesn't get any better than this.
4. Beautiful Beaches. 
5. Ditto for the Golf courses.
6. Beautiful women.
7. Cost of living. (Probably should be number one.)
