We went house-hunting today in Bolnuevo at the coast. Bolnuevo is famous for its erosiones, although I must admit that the first time we went to visit those we couldn’t find them. That is to say, we walked past them several times before we realized this was it. A house we didn’t find either. Yet. … Read more
The car had to go to the garage in Cartagena for its usual maintenance and we decided to make it a day out with our friends. We went to Cartagena twice last year and already have our favorite spots. One of which is the Museo Nacional de Arqueología Subacuátic. Every time we are there, loads … Read more
We love the Mercado in Puerto de Mazarrón because 2 of our favorite shops are there – the baker and the ecological store. And today we had an unexpected view on the Mercado from a hill. It really stands out between those grey and beige buildings. By the way: I think it’s really funny that … Read more
The weather app keeps predicting sun and the reality keeps being rainy. Well, we won’t melt from a bit of rain. Although we didn’t like that the supposedly drying laundry outside got soaking wet again. Today we walked a part of the Vías Verde. We took up the path about 600 m. from our house … Read more

In the Netherlands, there are no shopping malls such as here in Spain. At least, as far as I know. But I am no criterion because I am not particularly fond of shopping. We know these types of malls from the United States. Although I can’t remember if they were all as similar to each … Read more
We have an actual address at the moment and we’ve got mail today. Every drawing of our grandchildren is precious as you can imagine. Brighten up a day that was a bit pressing. In a literal sense, because both toilets were clogged. Being in someone else’s house and not knowing our way around, neither in … Read more
Craftsmen, no matter if they are in the Netherlands or in Spain, always start with remarking that something is difficult, will cause many problems, or isn’t even possible at all. I am sort of getting used to that by now. So when the men of the internet came this morning I was well prepared. I … Read more
Águilas is a typical coastal town, about an hour’s drive from where we live right now. It has a historical center, which we haven’t seen today, and also a very modern Auditorio y Palacio de Congresos. On two sides it’s an unusual building, with curved lines that give a beautiful shade on the facades. Once … Read more
