I really like what Spain is doing recently. If it weren't for climate change, I'd consider moving there.
Much of Spain is indeed getting very unpleasant in the summer with climate change, but in the north there are still regions that are quite fine at the moment. Where I am, we recently beat the all time temperature record with 35 degrees, but that was a single day. Most days these weeks it isn't going over 25, and I don't think we hit 30 in June except for that single day and maybe one other day.<p>The problem is that the right is poised to win the next election and will probably undo all the policies you like. They're pretty much against everything that has been done in the last 7 years. I still have some hopes that Sanchez might clinch another term because he's a political survivor, but prospects are not great.
The current government has little chance to get re-elected, and the next one will revert most of these decisions.
Canary Islands are part of Spain and probably unaffected from climate change - we have 19-22°C all year round. If it raises to 25° still pretty livable.

No place is unaffected.
Islands are extremely vulnerable to climate change all over, as they are completely dependent in near-term precipitation for all their water (no rivers, no aquifers).
No rivers and no water is reality here for quite a while already. The islands rely a lot on desalination, and there is a big EU-funded project going on to create a desalination plant that not only is used to supply tap water, but the water basin of a new hydroelectric plant [0]. Desalination pretty much solves water issues, IF you have the energy (ideally renewable).<p>[0]: <a href="https://renewablesnow.com/news/construction-starts-on-200-mw3-5-gwh-pumped-storage-hydro-in-spain-773786/" rel="nofollow">https://renewablesnow.com/news/construction-starts-on-200-mw...</a>
Galicia is supposed to be nice
You'd even like better the corruption they are trying to deflect from with their edgy foreign policy
In the CPI Spain is not that far off from countries like France, Italy or the US and better than the global average.<p><a href="https://www.transparency.org/en/cpi/2025" rel="nofollow">https://www.transparency.org/en/cpi/2025</a><p>I'm currently living in Mexico and here corruption is a much more serious issue.
