In the rain, every town looks dull and sad. And all the more so a coastal village. An abandoned boulevard. High waves. And a crazy Dutch couple that has their daily walk. 🙂 ^hm

For 4 months we slept under just a sheet. We still can, now at the start of October. Although then our cold feet will wake us around 5 am. So we have taken the duvet out of the closet and put it on our feet. I wonder when it will be cold enough at night … Read more
Yesterday was the last school day over here in Spain. And the beach chairs that have been waiting for guests for weeks in a row are finally occupied. As of today, the summer holiday has started. We also notice it because of the weather. It is really hot. Making us change our walking time. Instead … Read more
Until today every early morning and every early evening clouds are hanging either on top of the mountains or above our heads. Today was the exact opposite. An impeccable blue sky this morning and the moment I am writing this post. And clouds in the middle of the day. Everybody keeps warning us it’s going … Read more
When we arrived in the house we have rented for the summer there was a skinny plant near the gate that almost looked dead. I didn’t give it much attention at the time. Last week all of a sudden flowers blossomed on the one branch the plant has. Beautiful yellow with red ones. And today … Read more
The weather app keeps predicting sun and the reality keeps being rainy. Well, we won’t melt from a bit of rain.

The sun is shining again. Oh, how we missed the warmth of it the past weeks, hmmm, maybe the past months. And it makes up for a lot of things. Especially for the Spanish bureaucracy. Yesterday at the very last moment before leaving we had to arrange for a document from the city council that … Read more
The sun is doing its best and if you see those snowy mountains north of Madrid and LeganĂ©s you can understand why the wind stays cold. We are lucky: the playground is in between big apartment buildings, and out of the wind the weather is gorgeous. So the children can play outside all day today! … Read more
Today was our last day in Canillas de Aceituno and we were lucky: the sun has been shining all day. The wind is still cold, but nevertheless, it was wayyyy better than when it’s raining. We said goodbye to the shopkeepers where we got our groceries. (Our favorite restaurant is closed on Wednesdays so we … Read more
