Marrakech enjoys sunshine near 15–20°C, perfect for wandering souks, while the Canary Islands d

Yet by February, most resolutions disappear — not because people lack willpower, but because the approach was never sustainable. Science now confirms that lasting change doesn’t h

Expat Bubble
In many coastal towns and inland villages across Spain, the signs are easy to spot. English voices drift across sun-baked plazas. Union Jacks flutter gently from shopfronts. Signs for roast dinners and Sunday quizzes stand shoulder to shoulder with the old stone walls of centuries-old buildings. It’s a picture-postcard setting, but for many expats, it’s also a subtle trap: the comfortable, familiar world of the expat bubble. This bubble isn’t malicious.

Against the Odds: How Nicci Found Her Place in Altea When Nicci left the UK for Spain, she was chasing something more than sunshine.

Altea, a coastal town on the Costa Blanca, would give her all of that eventually. But not without testing her first. Nicci grew up in Porthcawl, a seaside tow
