Although the Costa Blanca is famous for getting an average of 320 days of sunshine each year, we do occasionally get some rain too! When you come to Spain on holiday, you’re not usually prepared for rain and we get a lot of people on social media asking us what there is to do on…
We recently took a little road trip inland to visit Caravaca de la Cruz – we visited back in 2019 when we first moved to Spain and have been wanting to pay another visit since then. Known for its impressive Basilica, fascinating history and legends, and lively festivals, Caravaca is one of those places where…

If you’re looking for an off-the-beaten-path adventure in southern Spain, Cabo Tiñoso is the perfect destination. We only discovered this unique location earlier this year, and we’ve lived here for 6 years now! With rugged cliffs, abandoned military forts, and stunning sea views, this hidden gem near Cartagena offers a mix of history, hiking, and…

With milder temperatures and fewer crowds, winter in Alicante is definitely worth experiencing. We live around 40 minutes…
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…
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…
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…
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!…
