Thanks in advance for any input. And if anyone has any interest in Valencia or Cuba please feel free to ask. Spent about 1st months in Cuba half in Havana and the rest in the countryside . It is a beautiful country. And a great value once you learn your way around.

As a local, I may be somewhat biased but you might find it worthwhile to consider South Africa. The dollar tends to be strong against the local currency here, and I think you might enjoy living in one of the small towns around Cape Town. There are lots of lovely little towns to choose from, all within a few hours' driving distance - Swellendam, Montagu, Darling and Riebeeck Kasteel all come to mind.
To be frank, the state of government healthcare in South Africa is dire, but private healthcare here is very good and there are plenty of options to choose from when it comes to private healthcare providers. Naturally, the smaller towns will have less of a selection - but I imagine this would be the case in small towns all over the world. Cape Town itself, however, has plenty of good hospitals, doctors, specialists, etc.
The media tends to exaggerate about the level of crime in South Africa, so try not to let that scare you off. In reality, as long as you exercise common sense and take appropriate precautions, you should have very little to worry about on that front.
For some more info, you can have a look at our guides for Moving to South Africa and Moving to Cape Town. Each guide has a number of sections that can be navigated using the side-bar on the left-hand side of the page.
Happy reading, and best of luck with your move! If you have any more questions, feel free to get in touch!
