wow, those are definetly too cold for me, just as Vielha, Soria, etc.

anything with a low under 5ºC in the coldest month for me is blergh! but many people like cold winters

I'm adding Florina to the original post, I forgot to put it!

Gareth doesn't even need to vote for Spain to win, Greece has the most overrated climates in the world

Spain wins by default for having Tarifa and Santander.

Then winters in Ioannina are about in your lower limit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ioannina#Climate

Sparta is a great climate, I can see why they had a settlement there

This is hard though, I like western Greece and central Spain

I picked both.

I mean the low average bro, not the whole monthly average.

For example Huelva with an avg low of 5.9°C in January is on my limit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huelva

I also want at least a high of 16°C in the coldest month, Huelva has 16 2°C too.

Outside Spain, I can think about Catania in Italy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catania#Climate

Jg, have you heard about Granada and Jaén?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaén,_Spain#Climate

How would you rate them?

Junter you are lucky guy, because you live in your ideal or almost ideal climate.

This is true

My ideal would be Las Palmas or Tenerife South but my actual climate is an A for me easily!

My January is about 17/8 so for me it's gorgeous.
