Yeah i dont think your questions can be answered just like that. Before i moved here to Spain i was reading through loads of stuff on this forum (and others) to get a general feel about how people were feeling.
You just say Europe, so youre considering anywhere in europe not just spain?
Theres a lot of countries in europe with lovely beaches, and of course you have the warm climate of Spain so you can spend more time enjoying the beaches. But availability of jobs can be quite low.
Just do your research, and best of luck!

Ironporer means you are a EU citizen and can move and work ( if you can get a job ) anywhere in the Union, without the need for visas etc
Although there are lots of English speakers around the coastal areas it will be very difficult to get a driving job in a foreign country unless you are fluent in the language though.
