This summer we visited Málaga for the first time. We’d been through Málaga before on our way elsewhere and to the airport, but like many people who visit the Costa del Sol area we had always bypassed the city itself. As we were staying in nearby Nerja for a week, we wanted to take a…
One of my absolute favourite places to visit in Spain, and definitely my favourite Pueblo Blanco, is Frigiliana in the Málaga region, close to Nerja. I’ve visited a few times now, first in the late 90s, again in 2008, and most recently in June of this year and the place really hasn’t changed that much…
On our recent trip down to Nerja, we visited Las Cuevas de Nerja, one of the top tourist hotspots in the town. We visited these amazing caves many years ago and were looking forward to visiting again with our daughter. We’ve visited other caves in Spain, such as Canelobre Caves in Alicante, but these caves…

As we hit the busy summer season on the Costa Blanca, many tourists will be flocking to the usual places like the beaches of Alicante, the waterparks and theme parks of Benidorm, and seaside resorts like Torrevieja. While these places are all well worth a visit, sometimes it’s nice to venture away from the tourist…
Last month marked 5 years since we moved to Spain, or our 5th ‘Spainiversary! When we decided to move to Spain we always intended to stay permanently, but many people thought we’d be back within 6 months which makes this milestone event better. We’re now able to apply for permanent residency, which can be done…
