After Three Kings’ Day: how your body responds once the holidays are over

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 […]

The power of rest days: why your body benefits from slowing down between Christmas and New Year

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 […]

Slow mornings: why starting your day slowly makes it better

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 […]

Wine and wellness

Enjoy in moderation – wine and wellbeing

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 […]
