Elche is one of our favourite nearby towns on the Costa Blanca, and while we’ve been for an afternoon out many times over the years, we had never spent an evening or whole weekend in Elche. Until last month, when we decided to spend a weekend in Elche for my birthday. My birthday was the…
There aren’t many places where you can swim in waterfalls, but you can here on the Costa Blanca at Les Fonts D’Algar. And what better way to cool down in the hot summer months! Fonts D’Algar, or Algar Waterfalls, is another one of our favourite places that we’ve visited in the Alicante Province – we’ve…
After living near Torrevieja for 5 years, we’ve had the chance to explore all the best places locally – from charming Spanish villages to natural parks and historic cities. If you’re planning a holiday in Torrevieja, or have recently moved to the area, we’re going to share 10 of our favourite family-friendly day trips from…
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…

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!…
