If you wanted to choose a Spanish speaking country to live/work in, which one would you choose for a family? (job market, buy)

[chicken.or.the.nugget]

Spain !!!
if not spain then mexico

[chalibu24]

I would say either Spain, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, or Costa Rica. Some parts of Mexico and of Colombia are nice too...but as a country that cares for its people and have a stable and growing economy, I would stick to those I mentioned.

Ecuador is safe for Americans and is a very family-oriented culture.

I would definetely choose SPAIN, it's in Europe!

[City of Rain]

spain is a member of the EU.

We are thinking a Spanish speaking country is where we would like to live as DH and I know limited Spanish and we both really NEED to learn more for our jobs even in the USA.

So.....where would you choose with a family? We aren't as "into" nightlife anymore, but it doesn't mean it would be a negative, we just wouldn't utilize it much.

Warm, tropical, MEXICO baby. Rural, isolated, coastal. NO touristas, por favor. Raise avacados and drink cervesa.

It cannot POSSIBLY get any better than that.

Funny to see everybody saying "Spain" because it's an european country.
FYI, Spain has terrorists that like to blow things up = ETA.

I recommend Venezuela because I grew up there and I've visited it several times since I moved away.
Venezuela is known for having some of the best highway system in Latinamerica,
add to that the fact that gas is $0.20 a gallon and you get
add to that that Venezuela is the size of Texas and Oklahoma and has jungles, plains, Andes mountains, 1800 miles of Caribbean coastline, sanddunes, etc, etc.

Equals ... lots of fun travelling in a small country.

BTW, Venezuelan is one of the accents most commonly used to translate movies.

Peru would be cool. I like llamas and alpacas. Those little hats they wear or nifty too. I could pick up some awesome knitting tips.

The op is very fortunate to be able to pick and choose.

Isn't Venezuela very dangerous?

I thought that Venezuela and Mexico are the most dangerous countries in Latin America...

Those of you that say Spain is the obvious choice since it is in Europe - can you please explain why being in Europe makes it the obvious choice?
