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 […]
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 […]
December may still feel mild along the Costa, but it’s a month full of temptations. Food, drinks, late nights, and a rhythm that can easily lose its shape. Still, you don’t have to deprive yourself to feel good. Staying healthy through December isn’t about discipline — it’s about balance. Balance over being strict Many people treat December as a month where everything goes out the window, planning to “fix it” […]
You may notice it yourself: in November, everything seems to slow down a little. The days grow shorter, the evenings longer, and even on the Costa you can feel the shift. The light changes. The sun sits lower, the shadows soften. And at the same time, you realise just how important light really is — for your energy, your mood and even your appetite. Daylight as natural fuel Light isn’t […]
Maybe it sounds familiar: you wake up, grab your phone, check your messages, coffee, shower, off you go. And before you know it, it’s already noon. Many Northern Europeans start their day in high gear — even here on the Costa. But the Spanish morning follows a different rhythm: slower, lighter, more mindful. And that makes all the difference. The power of a slow start In Spain, no one seems […]
At the market in Moraira, I see them piled high: bunches of grapes — blue, green and sometimes almost black. While tourists casually slip a bunch into their bags, I know there’s far more behind those grapes than just a tasty snack. In Spain they say uvas para la vida — grapes for life. And there’s real truth in that saying. Small fruits, big power Grapes are packed with antioxidants, […]
When I moved to the Costa Blanca, I was struck by how natural wine feels here. A weekday lunch in Jalón? A glass of wine, of course. Tapas on a terrace in Moraira? Naturally, with wine. But what also stood out to me was that Spaniards take their time. No one downs three glasses in a row. It’s about tasting, talking, laughing — and there’s always a jug of water […]
September. Life may be settling back into a sense of normal, but your skin sees it differently. It’s still carrying hours of sun in its pores, salt on its cheeks, and perhaps a touch of dryness, pigmentation or tightness. In short: late summer is when your skin needs some extra care. I still remember years ago, standing on the beach after a sun-soaked summer, touching my face and thinking: wow […]
Although I grew up in Valencia, I only truly began to appreciate eating with the Spanish rhythm once I started working with expats. What had felt normal for years — late lunches, hot meals during the day, light breakfasts — turned out to be a whole new concept for many. And honestly? Since I started following it more consciously myself, I’ve noticed how much of a difference it makes. Not […]
