Hi
As TechnoApe says, you always have Gibraltar in the deep south of the region. I live in a small place 12km north of Gib which has enough expats from many countrues to have a good mix. The official language of Gib is English although most of them are bilingual so you will have no issue at all in Gib with language bariers.
We have a good balance here though becuase, I find, the further south you get in Soain (and inland) the less English they speak which makes you learn Spanish. Not being fluent in Spanish it is difficult to get work here but not so in Gib, there are many international companies as well as local concerns - many gaming companies actually. You will find that literally thousands of expats, Spaniards, martians, yoiu name it, all cross the border each day to work, shop and play in Gib.
I love it here for the variety you get.
PS if you are a golfer, you have a mass of choice in southern CDS, round here for example you have Valderrama, La Reserva, Finca Courtesin, San Roque Club to name but 4 championship quality courses.
