FeelGood Radio The Sound Of The Costa
Sometimes you don’t quite know why something works — you just feel it. That’s tapas and wine. Not a technique, but a feeling.

If you’ve read my piece on Spanish wines from the Costa Blanca, you’ll know this is a bit of a sweet spot […]
Monday morning. The sun’s pretending it’s been up for hours — you’re not. One shoe’s on, the other’s still somewhere under the sofa. There’s a mountain of emails, a vague sense of sleep deprivation, and an empty fridge. And then it hits you: carajillo. I already dropped a hint about it in a story on Easter Monday. In Spain, it’s no passing trend. A carajillo is tradition — usually after […]
Where to go, what to look for, and what to do with it You follow your nose to the fish market.

It may look like a simple potato omelette, but it carries deep emotional weight. Every family has their own version, every […]

But that leaves the big question: what do you actually cook in it?In this piece, we pick up the baton from a culinary point of view. No basic burgers or pre-marinated supermarket skewers, but real Mediterranean inspiration—from creative tapas to paella […]
Whether it’s after a leisurely stroll along the promenade or as a sweet finale to lunch on the Costa’s, there’s little in Spain that hits the spot quite like a steaming cup of chocolate caliente paired with crispy churros. While chocolate is often associated with Switzerland and Belgium, the Spanish have their own tradition—one that’s just as impressive.In this article, I’ll take you on a journey through Spain’s chocolate culture—from […]
