Tilly, It depends on how much culture shock you can take, Sqad is happy in the Balearics, When we moved to France I thought that perhaps Spain was a culture too far but now I think it wouldn't be a problem. Property in Spain is at rock bottom prices, the cost of living is less and a lot of Spain is warmer than the UK, some a lot warmer. The food is excellent and the Spaniards that I have met away from the costa resorts are delightful.
Then there is Italy(not cheap ), Portugal, Greece.
