cultural life awakens

Late January, when cultural life begins to stir

Toward the end of January, something shifts along the Costa — without anyone announcing it. It doesn’t suddenly become busier, and it’s not festive yet either. But the quiet core of winter slowly loosens its grip. Not through plans, but through signs. In Villajoyosa, the first posters appear on walls that have been empty for weeks. Hung slightly crooked, sometimes half overlapping something old. Nothing grand, nothing eye-catching. Just present. […]

When ordinary life takes the lead

In Villajoyosa, there is no day when the year officially begins. No moment when someone decides that things must now be different. You only notice it afterwards, in the way things start happening again without effort. Shops return to their normal opening hours. Streets are used as they always were. People walk somewhere without it being about anything. Suddenly, ordinary life takes the lead again. The new year has been […]

January is a month of small conversations. No plans, just people

In January on the Costa, conversations often start halfway through. No introduction, no conclusion. At the bakery someone says something about the bread. In the lift you exchange two words. On the street it’s just a look and a nod. I order, pay, step outside. The man next to me does the same. We stand side by side in the sun for a moment. No one says anything else. There’s […]

The quiet weeks of January: what remains when nothing is required

What strikes me every year in the weeks after Epiphany is not what disappears, but what is left behind. The holidays are over — everyone knows that — yet no one seems in a hurry to make it visible. The street lights are still there. Some evenings they’re on. Some evenings they’re not. As if the system hasn’t been switched off, and no one feels the need to look for […]

Old & New on the Costa: Traditions to Welcome the New Year in Style

As the final days of the year approach and the air above the Spanish Costa regions is filled with the scent of pine trees and fireworks, I can feel every fibre of my being buzzing with the excitement of the upcoming celebrations. I’m absolutely enchanted by the Spanish way of bidding farewell to the old year and welcoming the new one. Especially in the regions where I now live — […]

Christmas in Spain: a celebration that doesn’t end on 25 December

In Spain, 25 December never feels like an endpoint. It’s more of a beginning, a pause, a gentle moment within a much longer stretch of time. Where I once grew up with the idea that Christmas was over almost as soon as it began, here it unfolds like a ribbon woven through the winter weeks. Christmas in Spain is not a sprint. It’s a sequence of rhythms, encounters and traditions […]

The quiet weeks before Christmas: how villages come back to themselves

There is a moment in December when a village takes on a different tone. In the weeks before Christmas, Spain seems to settle into a calm, almost smiling stillness. As if everyone knows something is coming, but no one feels the need to rush towards it. Not that “rushing” really exists in the Spanish dictionary — but that’s beside the point. In Moraira, I notice it in the mornings. The […]

Why light matters so much in the Spanish winter

In Spain, winter doesn’t begin with cold, but with light. And no — this isn’t another Casa y Vida–style meditation on lighting. As soon as the days grow shorter, the streets actually fill with more people. As if the country simply refuses to surrender to darkness. In December you see it everywhere: on squares, in cafés, along boulevards and in villages where even the smallest street gets its own string […]

Spanish December traditions

Spanish December traditions you won’t find in guidebooks

In Spain, December doesn’t begin with cold, but with anticipation. The air is fresh, not sharp. The evenings are longer, but never empty. And in the towns and villages where I’ve been spending these weeks, there’s a gentle sense of tension — not about what needs to be bought, but about what will be shared. Cafés are busier than usual. Not with people seeking hot chocolate, but with something very […]
