Which of the towns in your list have you been to already?
I see you describe Gib as boring with not much to do, so that must mean you've spent a lot of time there to make that statement.
The Netherlands is a country, which town in that country are the contracts?
How frequently would you be coming back to the UK?
What language skills do you have?
What are your travel options for getting to/from the UK?
What accommodation would you have in country?
What transportation would you have in country?…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Very relevant even if the role pays 1000 euros per day, obviously dependent on UK day rate.
