Cost of Living Spain vs Portugal

Sunday
1. Do we need to rent a place in Spain or Portugal BEFORE we can apply for a VISA?
2. If First and Last month's rent common in Spain or Portugal?
3. What are the best cities for quiet life but plenty to do, hiking, walks, parks, within 30 min of the beach maybe?
4. We don't speak Spanish; I took 2 years in High School, but we will need classes.
5. Banks?
6. Moving our items from US to Spain or Portugal.

Sure this is only a few of the questions we will have.

It seems very overwhelming, but of course that is only from our google searches. Would love to hear the reality. People do this all the time.

Thank you
