Citrus is everywhere in January, yet never intrusive. The fruit is present not as a promise, but as a given. It doesn’t ask for attention — and it doesn’t receive it either. That says a lot about how citrus is understood here: not as something refreshing, but as part of the winter rhythm. Winter fruit without symbolism Anyone who associates citrus with summer, lightness, or refreshment is looking at it […]
In Villajoyosa, there is no day when the year officially begins. No moment when someone decides that things must now be different. You only notice it afterwards, in the way things start happening again without effort. Shops return to their normal opening hours. Streets are used as they always were. People walk somewhere without it being about anything. Suddenly, ordinary life takes the lead again. The new year has been […]
I see it happen often in the afternoon. No sportswear, no watch, no route. Someone closes the door and walks away. Not to get anywhere, but simply to be outside for a while. Walking without a goal. Without a plan, without pace. It looks unremarkable, almost too simple to be called “exercise”. And yet, something important happens there. Movement without making it a workout In many countries, movement is something […]
In January, the kitchen returns to its core. Not abruptly, but noticeably. The drawer with napkins stays closed, the extra chairs remain where they were left. No one agrees to make things simpler; it happens on its own. The month strips away the side intentions and shows what remains when food no longer has to carry anything. After weeks in which everything had to be right December asks a lot […]
In January on the Costa, conversations often start halfway through. No introduction, no conclusion. At the bakery someone says something about the bread. In the lift you exchange two words. On the street it’s just a look and a nod. I order, pay, step outside. The man next to me does the same. We stand side by side in the sun for a moment. No one says anything else. There’s […]
The market in January looks smaller in Spain than it really is. Not because there is less on offer, but because nothing shouts. The colours are softer, the piles lower, the repetition greater. You see the same shapes, the same products, the same order. A quick glance suggests there’s little to buy. Stay a moment longer, and you realise the market is doing something other than selling. Less choice, more […]
What strikes me every year in the weeks after Epiphany is not what disappears, but what is left behind. The holidays are over — everyone knows that — yet no one seems in a hurry to make it visible. The street lights are still there. Some evenings they’re on. Some evenings they’re not. As if the system hasn’t been switched off, and no one feels the need to look for […]
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 […]
January mornings at home always begin the same way. The house hasn’t warmed up yet, the light is thin, and the lingering stillness of the festive weeks hangs in the rooms. Coffee is made quickly, but it keeps something slightly awkward about it. You drink it while still half-searching for the start of the day. There is no rhythm yet — only time waiting. Outside, it’s different. Not warmer, but […]
