Spain:
Pros: Beautiful and diverse landscapes ( we have many climates and beach/mountain). Wonderful gastronomy (imo best with italian in europe). A lot of “street ambient”, it is really spanish to go out a lot even if its for a coffee or a sandwich so cities are always full of life. People is very friendly is you speak spanish.
Cons: Barely jobs and very low salaries. Very high prices compared with europe of you take into acount salaries (except to go out thats super cheap). It will be difficult to live if you dont know already spanish since most old people dont speak english and a lot of young people is too shy to speak it. If you are not white you might face quite a lot of racism. Socially we are still a bit behind north europe but we have gone really far the last years.
Belgium (as an immigrant ntives will have other points)
Pros: Beautiful green landscapes and plenty of hiking/biking routes. Progressive country when it comes to sexism, homophobia, laicism etc. Salaries are much higher than in southern countries (like spain) and the prices are higher but proportionally arent that different. Both Valonia amd Flanders are extremely beautiful for the nature and have extremely beautiful and nice cities and nature.
Cons: In Flanders a lot of people is very xenophobic, you will hear a lot of people angry with you for not speaking perfect flemish (even if you are speaking flemish with them). Some even will refuse service. As a migrant there is a very limited ammount of jobs that you can do because of my first point. Unless you work in very big cities chances are that they ask you native flemish for everything (even to do research in english…). Migrants can only stay 3 months there if they dont have a job or a spouse that works. In 3m you cannot learn a language and find a job so it sucks. If you dont have a job you wont have health insurance and makes things super complicated.
Lithuania: don’t, unless you really want to.
