As you have already stated Lisbon is close, if you like sunlight it also gets 2799 hours yearly on average near the top of the list.
Lisbon is indeed quite nice. I went in Feb and it was warm (a bit chilly by the water). Lisbon is a bit hot in the summer months though with 28C in July which means quite a few days above 30C I suppose but that's totally acceptable (being too picky here, I know).
As to sunshine, it depends as it is not necessarily always a good thing. One thing I don't like about San Diego's weather is that the sun is too strong most of the time. I prefer the sky being partially overcast (like 30%) so that you are not exposed to the direct sunshine all the time.
Tarifa, Spain is the best match. [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarifa#Climate[/URL]
But personally for me, it's not the best because I prefer more rain and colder winters. I like the climate of southern Scandinavia, the Baltics, Belarus etc.
Tarifa is windy, very windy, in fact they are the capital of windsurfers...not a good weather if you are not a surfer. The Atlantic and Med do meet and that create a rather unpleasant weather.
The best weather, Malaga, the so-called "tropical coast"..not really tropical but they grow tropical fruits, sugar cane and are a microclimate.
To me, San Diego is kind of an unique spot with not many areas in the world like it due to the cold ocean current and the low latitude. Maybe Southern Australia would have a similar climate??
But some would argue that the best weather occurs in Costa Rica, with even temperatures and predictable rainstorms. I sure liked the weather there.
I'm curious if the weather in the mountainous regions of Europe is similar to the Rocky Mountains in the US, with annual precipitation about 14-18 inches a year, 300 days of sunshine, winter from late Oct. - early May, erratic hot spells in the winter with a few weeks in the 60s F in January, some deep freezes with a week or two below -10F, with snow possible in late May and late September, 30-40 degree F temp swings between day and night, very low humidity, and hail.

Surely not on the Alps, here it is much more rainy and cloudy. About temperatures, it depend on the altitude.
Oh yeah, that is most definitely different. Definitely more rainy and moderate, without the extremes that the Rockies can have. Innsbruck temperature wise looks similar on the averages to CO Springs, where I am from, but its a bit colder in the summer. We swing a lot more I would imagine though. However, our altitude is that of Sestriere, higher in many parts of the city.

Or go south from Europe to a similar low latitude. In Morocco, somewhat similar to San Diego

I didn't know about the wind in Tarifa, but Malaga is IMO hotter than comfortable and, considering that it's near the sea, it can, despite low precipitation, be quite humid in summer.
