FeelGood Radio The Sound Of The Costa
Maybe it sounds familiar: you wake up, grab your phone, check your messages, coffee, shower, off you go. And before you know it, it’s already noon. Many Northern Europeans start their day in high gear — even here on the Costa. But the Spanish morning follows a different rhythm: slower, lighter, more mindful. And that makes all the difference. The power of a slow start In Spain, no one seems […]
At the market in Moraira, I see them piled high: bunches of grapes — blue, green and sometimes almost black. While tourists casually slip a bunch into their bags, I know there’s far more behind those grapes than just a tasty snack. In Spain they say uvas para la vida — grapes for life. And there’s real truth in that saying. Small fruits, big power Grapes are packed with antioxidants, […]
When I moved to the Costa Blanca, I was struck by how natural wine feels here. A weekday lunch in Jalón? A glass of wine, of course. Tapas on a terrace in Moraira? Naturally, with wine. But what also stood out to me was that Spaniards take their time. No one downs three glasses in a row. It’s about tasting, talking, laughing — and there’s always a jug of water […]
September. Life may be settling back into a sense of normal, but your skin sees it differently. It’s still carrying hours of sun in its pores, salt on its cheeks, and perhaps a touch of dryness, pigmentation or tightness. In short: late summer is when your skin needs some extra care. I still remember years ago, standing on the beach after a sun-soaked summer, touching my face and thinking: wow […]
Although I grew up in Valencia, I only truly began to appreciate eating with the Spanish rhythm once I started working with expats. What had felt normal for years — late lunches, hot meals during the day, light breakfasts — turned out to be a whole new concept for many. And honestly? Since I started following it more consciously myself, I’ve noticed how much of a difference it makes. Not […]
In autumn, people do a big clean. In spring, they detox. But I believe July is actually the best time to recalibrate your life. Not with scrubbing cloths or endless to-do lists, but with sunlight and softness. Summer lets us reorganise life without rigid lines. No Marie Kondo, just mental space. What summer does to you Since moving to Spain, I notice it every year: summer gently loosens you from […]
I still remember my very first morning ride in Spain — struggling up a hill, sweat down my back, wrong gear, but a breathtaking view. Someone behind me called out “¡ánimo!”, and moments later a local flew past looking like he was just heading to the bakery. That’s when it clicked: cycling on the Costa Blanca is something else entirely. Not just physically, but mentally too. It’s movement with a […]
It’s amazing what fresh herbs like basil, rosemary, and mint can do for your health. Sometimes wellness comes in a smoothie, sometimes in a walk — and sometimes, it’s simply in a handful of leaves. Since I started growing my own herbs, I notice it every day: a little green on your plate can make a world of difference. Not just for your body, but for your mood too. My […]
From the moment I moved to Spain, I was fascinated by how late everything starts here. Evenings don’t really begin until after ten. Kids still playing on the terrace at eleven. And TV shows that kick off around the time I used to be brushing my teeth back in the Netherlands. At first, I thought: “What a mess.” But now I see it differently. Spaniards may have their own rhythm […]
