Jávea has the most stunning coastal scenery that we’ve found so far on the Costa Blanca and some amazinf views. Our dream house is nestled on one of the dramatic cliffs looking out into the Mediterranean Sea…we’re just waiting for a lottery win so for now we’ll have to make do with looking at it…
Do you ever see photos of places on social media and save them to a list of locations you want to visit? For us that was Setenil de las Bodegas in Andalusia. The usual photos are of a street covered by a rock ‘roof’ and as soon as we saw it we wanted to visit…
We’re gradually getting round to visiting some of the places that have been on our Spanish bucket list for a while, and this summer we finally got to cross Ronda off our list! So far we’ve mainly travelled around the Costa Blanca region where we live, as with work and school commitments it can often…
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…

We recently visited one of our favourite holiday places outside of the Costa Blanca, spending a week in the seaside town of Nerja in Andalucia. I first visited with my family when I was about 18 years old and it was on this holiday that I decided I wanted to move to Spain one day!…
Valencia is Spain’s third-largest city, and home to one of the most unique architectural landmarks in the world: the City of Arts and Sciences, known as Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias in Spanish. This futuristic complex is a cultural hub that attracts millions of visitors each year. If you’re planning a trip to…

From stunning beaches to amusement parks, the Costa Blanca is the perfect place for families. We’ve lived on the Costa…
Our nearby town of Rojales is becoming really popular with tourists of all nationalities, as well as with foreigners moving to Spain. You may even have seen it featured many times on the tv show A Place In The Sun. It’s in a great part of the Alicante province, as it’s not far from the…
