"Keeping your house cool for the summer? Already? It’s only early March!" Indeed, the Spanish summer seems far off. But don’t be fooled. Before you know it, you’ll be enjoying the pleasant spring sunshine in the morning, only to roast like an overripe tomato in your living room by afternoon. And by the time you start thinking about cooling off, the hardware stores will be sold out, and your neighbour […]
When you think of Spain, you think of paella. But where did this iconic dish actually come from, and why are there so many different versions? In my first article here on The Sound Of The Costa, I already wrote about everything you can eat in Spain besides paella and tapas, but surprisingly, I’ve hardly touched on the country’s national dish itself. Time to set that right. In The Ultimate […]
As you walk through Spanish cities, you’ll come across them everywhere: Calle Jaume I. It sounds grand — like a tribute to one of the greatest conquerors in Spanish history. But if you look more closely, you’ll notice that these street names are often not found in the most prestigious parts of town. Maybe it’s a form of historical irony: perhaps Jaume I was mostly the king of the backstreets? […]
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. However, it’s possible to grow your own herbs and vegetables without having to water them every day or leave your plants burnt out. The trick is making smart choices: the right plants, the right pots, and most importantly, a strategy […]
After a fresh detox in January and some serious ‘artis-jogging’ in February, it’s time for the next step in a healthy lifestyle: relaxation and recovery. After all, what’s the point of all that effort if you don’t recharge your batteries too? Time to discover everything the Costas have to offer when it comes to wellness! Fortunately, the Costa Blanca and Costa del Sol are the perfect places to recharge. Whether […]
If you think ordering coffee in Spain is as simple as getting a cappuccino in Italy or a filter coffee in the Netherlands, you're mistaken. As Eva mentioned in her recent article about the often surprising reality of Spain, the Spanish coffee culture is a world of its own—full of nuances, regional differences, and subtleties that can easily catch outsiders off guard. Let me guide you through the fascinating world […]
The first time I heard about Las Fallas in Valencia, I thought it sounded downright bizarre. A city dominated for an entire month by fireworks, gigantic sculptures, and explosions? It seemed more like the plot of a disaster movie than a cultural festival. But when I finally experienced it, I understood immediately: Las Fallas isn’t just a festival—it’s a feeling. A rush that starts in your chest the moment the […]
Late February. The days are getting longer, the sun is gaining strength, and before you know it, it’ll be warm enough to sit outside again. Two weeks ago, you read tips here for balconies and terraces, but if you’re lucky enough to have a full garden, now is the perfect time to take a closer look at your outdoor space. Everyone knows these gardens. Fully paved, with a few gray […]
Evening slowly falls over Alfaz del Pi, and a crisp breeze drifts through the streets. It’s one of those moments when you crave something warm, something rich in spices—a meal that transports you to a place where the sun always shines. From a distance, Restaurant Isla Bali already stands out: a vibrantly painted rickshaw sits by the entrance, a playful nod to the chaotic yet charming streets of Bali. A […]
