Culture vulture from London with a passion for all things foodie, I’ve spent over six years living in Spain, exploring the country’s diverse regions and cities. I studied literature at university in the eclectic city of Brighton, and since then, I’ve been hooked on keeping up with what to do, see, and, of course, eat. I’m a firm believer in appreciating and learning from local cultures, travelling responsibly, and giving new things a go with an open mind and a healthy dose of curiosity. I try to share useful tips, local insights and a bit of honest know-how, so you can make the most of wherever you find yourself.

When it comes to festivals, Spain plays in a league of its own. We're talking about some wonderfully wacky traditions, many of which have been celebrated for centuries.
Spain is one of those places that gets a bit of a reputation for being all about sunbathing on the beach, sipping on a glass of sangria as the gently waves lap at your feet.
Andalucia's coastline is a remarkable meeting of two seas, encompassing the wild, windswept shores of the Atlantic's Costa de la Luz and the sunny coves of the Mediterranean.
Down at the very tip of Spain, living in Tarifa means getting used to wild winds, endless beaches, and a Mediterranean-Atlantic mix you don’t find elsewhere. It’s a small, whitewashed town where locals, kitesurfers, and digital nomads all seem to mingle over late-night tapas or windswept strolls.
Every July, Pamplona in northern Spain bursts to life with the riotous Festival of San Fermín. It's a whirlwind of music, dance, street parties, and something you just don’t see every day: the famous running of the bulls.
