FeelGood Radio The Sound Of The Costa
1 January. The cava has (mostly) been drunk, the street sweepers have done their rounds, and somewhere around grape number seven we at The Sound Of The Costa all briefly thought: “this might not have been our best idea ever.” For those who missed it: in Spain you eat twelve grapes on New Year’s Eve. One for each chime of the clock. For luck. And for a short moment of […]
As the final days of the year approach and the air above the Spanish Costa regions is filled with the scent of pine trees and fireworks, I can feel every fibre of my being buzzing with the excitement of the upcoming celebrations. I’m absolutely enchanted by the Spanish way of bidding farewell to the old year and welcoming the new one. Especially in the regions where I now live — […]
There is a moment in December when a village takes on a different tone. In the weeks before Christmas, Spain seems to settle into a calm, almost smiling stillness. As if everyone knows something is coming, but no one feels the need to rush towards it. Not that “rushing” really exists in the Spanish dictionary — but that’s beside the point. In Moraira, I notice it in the mornings. The […]
In Spain, December doesn’t begin with cold, but with anticipation. The air is fresh, not sharp. The evenings are longer, but never empty. And in the towns and villages where I’ve been spending these weeks, there’s a gentle sense of tension — not about what needs to be bought, but about what will be shared. Cafés are busier than usual. Not with people seeking hot chocolate, but with something very […]
At The Sound Of The Costa, October is all about wine. Along the Costa Blanca and the Costa del Sol, the vendimia – the grape harvest – marks the moment when summer comes to an end and the winemakers begin their craft. For locals, it is more than an agricultural tradition: it is a celebration of gathering, collaboration and pride. With this introduction we kick off October as Wine Month […]
The markets of the Costa Blanca are familiar ground by now. The Saturday bustle in Jávea, the Mercat del Riurau in Jesús Pobre, or the stalls in the Jalón Valley — I’ve written about them before. But what about further south? When I visited Lucas for a weekend at his finca just outside Málaga, I got the chance to experience it for myself. A Sunday market on the Costa del […]
Late August holds a certain magic. The hottest days are behind you, but the sun is still generous, and the evenings feel longer than ever. The rush of peak tourist season begins to fade, while life on the streets somehow feels even more vibrant. It’s the time when you truly discover the essence of late summer in Spain — without the frantic pace of high season. Village festivals and processions […]
After the noise and colour of the Feria de Málaga, I decide to linger a little longer in the south. The contrast couldn’t be greater: from the vibrant festivities to the stillness of the pueblos blancos — the white villages of Andalusia, clinging to the hillsides like snowflakes. A sea of white in the sun There’s something hypnotic about the way these villages settle into the landscape. Whitewashed façades, narrow […]
Málaga in August isn’t just a city — it’s as if someone’s turned the volume all the way up: colours are brighter, music louder, people more exuberant. For eight days, the city celebrates the Feria, a festival that began as a historical commemoration but has become a vibrant blend of tradition and modern energy. Where history and street life meet The origins of the Feria go back to 1487, when […]
