So, how friendly are Spaniards (and other Europeans who have moved to Spain) toward Americans? I'm thinking about moving there when I retire, or sooner if Donald Trump is elected president again. Our society has turned into something truly ugly and if Donald Trump is president for four more years, he'll do even more damage. Would an American still be welcomed in Spain?

Well, I have holidayed and toured from Girona in the north travelling down along the Mediterranean coastal routes and round to Cadiz on the Atlantic coast over many years, then after that taking the easy way by flying and booking self accommodation. Saying all that I have found what I would call the easy going southern Spanish people very nice friendly persons, but you get good and bad in everyone. As said good and bad in everyone, I really can’t speak for British,German,Dutch,Scandinavians! As I have got to say I have found ignorant or know it and done it all people. As for mid to northern Spanish people I find they are more abrupt and not so helpful or friendly. But this is my own personal experience over many years and love having my own property in Torrevieja Costa Blanca Spain, it beats being in the UK by miles, Sorry I don’t know any North Americans, but have met South American’s here.

Mbadgett1, welcome to the forum and best wishes in your proposed  future in Spain.  Lisa Anne , in The European areas, Russia top the list of countries for cases of Coronavirus virus contagion, followed by the UK, and Spain then follow on in third place. 

The contagion was most certainly not contained adequately in any of those three countries.
