Well, what a weekend it’s been. After my piece on outdoor kitchens last week, I decided to get to work on one myself. It all started with an innocent plan: a cozy evening in the garden. The spring air was fresh, the coals were glowing on the barbecue, and a good glass of wine was within arm's reach. The perfect outdoor living, without the drama. Just as it was meant […]
Yesterday was Father's Day in Spain, and as usual, the barbecue was in my hands. Outdoor cooking has always been a bit of a "dad thing" for me, a moment to gather with family and enjoy the sun.

And by the time you start thinking about cooling off, the hardware stores will be sold out, and your neighbour […]
Living in Spain means lots of sun, long summers, and... dry soil. Not exactly the ideal conditions for starting a vegetable garden on your balcony or terrace, you might think.

Everyone knows these gardens. Fully paved, with a few gray […]
Sustainable living sounds great on paper, but the reality is often far less glamorous. No one wants to live in a house that turns into an oven in summer and is impossible to keep warm in winter. Fortunately, sustainable living in Spain doesn’t have to mean sacrificing comfort. In fact, if you approach it wisely, you’ll not only save on your energy bill but also make your home more comfortable—without […]
In Spain, balconies and terraces are far from an afterthought. They are extensions of your home—places where you live, relax, and, if designed well, feel like you’re on vacation every day. Whether you have a small city balcony or a spacious rooftop terrace overlooking the mountains, the key is to make it both functional and inviting. This means making smart choices in layout, materials, and, most importantly, shade—because without some […]
A home should feel alive. It should be a place where you instantly feel at ease, where your senses are comforted, and where the space feels like an extension of yourself. In Andalusia, they understand this better than anyone. Here, interiors are not about being sleek and sterile—they are about warmth, atmosphere, and a touch of raw elegance.Step into an authentic Andalusian finca, and you won’t find perfectly styled furniture […]
Smart tricks to reset your home and outdoor space for the new season End of January. The holidays are long behind us, winter is losing its grip, and the sun is gaining strength again.
