FeelGood Radio The Sound Of The Costa
Curtains in a Spanish home move with the day. They don’t automatically open when you wake up, and they don’t close simply because it’s evening. Sometimes they stay half closed while the sun is shining. Other times they open at a moment that doesn’t seem logical at all. That has little to do with atmosphere. And everything to do with timing. Light as an active force In Spain, light isn’t […]
In winter, a Spanish house seems quieter. Not empty, but concentrated. Life gathers in one single space. The rest of the house is still there, but at a distance. The kitchen, the living room, sometimes even the workspace feeling — everything shifts into what is simply called the warm room. For people from Northern Europe, that can feel like a limitation. Why not live everywhere at once? For those who […]
I stood still in the house. Not for long. But long enough to feel it. Outside, the air was soft, almost kind. Inside, the cold crept up slowly, from the floor, along my legs. No draughts, no drama. Just a house that made no effort to keep me warm unless I did something first. For many newcomers, that comes as a surprise. January in Spain feels mild outdoors, yet indoors […]

My finca just outside Marbella seemed mostly relieved I was back — as if walls, doors and pot plants are also entitled to emotional closure. And truth be told: life with the Spanish summer heat isn’t just about air-con and siestas. It’s […]
Living in Spain sounds idyllic. The sun, the view, the lavender in your garden. And the idea of living with nature? Very romantic. But no one tells you that sometimes, the garden moves inside. On tiny feet. My first Spanish spring was glorious—until one morning I lifted the sugar bowl and discovered it had been relocated. Not physically, but in terms of occupancy. An ant colony had organised itself so […]
Here you are, standing in your brand-new living room. On bare concrete. Outside, the tyre marks from the cement truck are still etched into what’s meant to become your garden… Congratulations. Your Spanish villa is complete. The dream project you sketched, selected, planned and fought for over months – it’s finally standing. Sleek. White. Modern. And utterly soulless. Don’t panic – it’s not you. It’s the clockwork Spanish way of […]
