I would vote for Barcelona, Spain.

Best spot for flying to all european cities. Best weather, beaches with nice water temperature. Organization, cleanness, respectful people and multicultural: you will hear a lot of english as well other dozens of languages.

Life in Barcelona is not so cheap, but compared to other cities it's a dream.

I'm living here since 2001 and I will never leave this place I guess.
