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 […]
I stood still in the house. Not for long. But long enough to feel it. Outside, the air was soft, almost kind. Inside, the cold crept up slowly, from the floor, along my legs. No draughts, no drama. Just a house that made no effort to keep me warm unless I did something first. For many newcomers, that comes as a surprise. January in Spain feels mild outdoors, yet indoors […]
The morning after Three Kings’ Day feels different from other mornings. The calendar says life is back to normal, but the body lags behind. Not exhausted, not refreshed. More neutral — as if the system hasn’t quite decided which mode to switch to yet. The festivities are officially over, but the engine doesn’t start straight away. That in-between feeling is often misread. We tend to think something has to happen […]
January mornings at home always begin the same way. The house hasn’t warmed up yet, the light is thin, and the lingering stillness of the festive weeks hangs in the rooms. Coffee is made quickly, but it keeps something slightly awkward about it. You drink it while still half-searching for the start of the day. There is no rhythm yet — only time waiting. Outside, it’s different. Not warmer, but […]
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 — […]
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 […]
I love December in Spain. The light is soft, the air cool, and the days feel longer than they really are. But as soon as the sun goes down and everyone retreats indoors, my hearing rediscovers something every single December — something Spanish houses confirm without any shame at all: acoustically, they have no filters whatsoever. Everything sounds louder than it’s meant to — and that’s exactly why December becomes […]
In the final days of the year, Spain carries a different kind of energy. Quieter, softer — almost as if the country pauses to take a breath before the year comes to a close. Many families take time off, shops close earlier, and the days seem to slow down all by themselves. That rhythm is no coincidence. Your body recognises the days between Christmas and New Year as natural moments […]
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 […]
