Bathrooms rarely show up in dreams. Kitchens do. Bedrooms too. But bathrooms? Hardly.Maybe because we tend to design them as functional corridors — places to pass through, not to linger in. And that’s a shame. Especially here in Spain, where sunlight dances through the window and water is a resource, not a given. A bathroom deserves more than white tiles and an IKEA mirror. I still remember my first Spanish […]
Spring has arrived, the scent of frying onions is back in the air, and you know: Semana Santa has begun. In the week leading up to Easter, Spain comes alive in a way you don’t easily forget — and you feel it not just in the streets, but at the table too. Last week, we explored tortilla de patatas — perhaps the most widely shared dish during this festive week. […]
When you think of Easter in Spain, you probably picture the processions first. Especially after last week’s story. Long lines of people in robes, drums that make the streets tremble, clouds of incense that overload your sense of smell, and wooden statues carried through the city like sacred trophies. And yes, that image is absolutely right. Well… for a few days, at least. Because once the final tear has rolled […]
Outdoors isn’t an afterthought. Not here in Spain, where life happens under the pergola for half the year. And especially not when you live in a modern villa – all clean walls, sharp lines, and cool materials. That’s exactly where you need something to push back. Something that breathes, grows, lives. Not a replica of your interior, but a counterbalance. Not an extension of concrete, but a response made of […]
As you walk through Spanish villages during Semana Santa, the holy week leading up to Easter, there’s one scent that follows you everywhere: olive oil and gently frying onions. Because while Spain is full of regional traditions, there’s one dish that appears across the board — tortilla de patatas. It may look like a simple potato omelette, but it carries deep emotional weight. Every family has their own version, every […]
If you’d asked me a few years ago what I associated with Easter, I probably would’ve mumbled something about chocolate eggs, brunch at my parents’ place, and maybe a trip to IKEA on Easter Monday. But since moving to Spain, Easter has become something entirely different. Here, Semana Santa doesn’t start with bunnies — it starts with drums. Big ones. The kind you feel pounding in your chest. Semana Santa […]
Here you are, standing in your brand-new living room. On bare concrete. Outside, the tyre marks from the cement truck are still etched into what’s meant to become your garden… Congratulations. Your Spanish villa is complete. The dream project you sketched, selected, planned and fought for over months – it’s finally standing. Sleek. White. Modern. And utterly soulless. Don’t panic – it’s not you. It’s the clockwork Spanish way of […]
There are places where wine is just a drink — and places where it tells a story. The Costa Blanca belongs firmly to the latter. Here, between the rolling hills of the Marina Alta and the sun-drenched plains around Villena, wine grows quietly. No mass production, no flashy labels — just honest grapes, passionate winemakers and a landscape that reveals more than you’d expect at first glance. Time, then, for […]
If you, like me, often find yourself wandering around the Costa Blanca, you’ve probably noticed them too: those charming whitewashed villages with, towering above them all… a striking blue dome. One of those features that makes you think: who ever decided that was a good idea? And why do you see so many of them here? So, here it is: the story of the blue domes of the Costa Blanca. […]
