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.

The Blue Flag is a bit of a badge of honour for Spain’s beaches, recognised all over the world for setting the standard when it comes to water quality, safety and eco-friendly management.
Spain’s coastline is setting the standard in 2025, with 642 beaches now proudly flying the Blue Flag—four more than last year and more than any other country in the world.
Hidden in the hills and sunbaked valleys of southern Spain, cave dwellings have long been a quirky feature of life in regions like Andalusia, with the area around Granada especially famed for these unique homes.
Tucked away high in the Pyrenees, Andorra is one of those places that tends to fly under the radar, but it's got more than a few tricks up its sleeve for anyone thinking about living here.
Opting for a room in a shared apartment goes miles beyond saving money by splitting rent and bills. With the rising rental prices in Madrid, coliving is part housing solution, part social adventure—an experience as unpredictable as the city itself.
Tucked on the sunny southern coast of Spain, Marbella blends Mediterranean charm with a cosmopolitan flair. The city sits about halfway between Málaga and Gibraltar, right on the Costa del Sol. About 150,000 people call it home these days, though that number swells during the summer.
Imagine if you could get paid just for deciding to settle in a particular Spanish village. In some corners of Spain, it’s become a genuine offer. A steady trickle of locals towards the cities has left many rural areas nearly deserted.
