I like very much the Alentejo coast south of Lisbon. [/quote]
Peter thanks. Portugal has occurred to me and a former colleague from Australian days has just given up on France and moved there and is very enthusiastic. But G has family in France (as well as the UK) and we have no family or other links to Portugal. I think these are important factors. I've been keen on France for a long time but increasingly find myself attracted to the UK west country, Devon in particular. All of the aviation and Morgan events are strong pull factors too. This is a really big decision for us but it's a couple of years off yet so I need to get out there and do some more research. Those beaches look great.
