Maybe not in the countries you asked for but the south of France is worth a look. Nice is a great, vibrant city with tons to do and lots of access to what you’d need if you’re working. Meanwhile you can do easy day or weekend trips to surrounding areas which are awesome. Eze, Cannes, Antibes, Villafrenche, Monaco, and more are all super close by.

OP specifically asked for Spain as well though.
