The Treasure of Andalusia

If we had managed to carry out our entire Andalusian itinerary exactly as planned, we would have been pleased—but probably surprised, too. After all, bad luck or chance always seems to get in the way of human plans and ideas. Nothing bad happened this time, but our trip missed out on not just the c...

Not only Almodóvar

Last week saw the world premiere of the Spanish film that won the Palme d'Or at Cannes in 2026. It won't hit Polish cinemas until February 2027, and might not appear on streaming platforms until December of this year. "Black Ball" (original title: "La Bola Negra"). Directed and written by Javie...

On Sarurday at noon

At noon, after doing our Saturday shopping at MERCADONA (a well-known supermarket chain), we headed to a beach bar for a drink. The bar is situated in the shade of large fig trees, offering a welcome respite from the heat. Midday drinks are a Spanish tradition we want to keep alive: *La hora del ...

We had the opportunity to attend the opening of the "Real Feria de San Miguel 2026" (Royal San Miguel Fair 2026—the main fair and ...

Residential architecture in Andalusia

Fascinated, we tour, first on the outside, our friends' beautiful modern home and ask them plenty of questions—mainly because you don't see houses like this in other parts of Europe! Why are houses in Andalusia mainly white? The question is obvious, but the answer is more complex: the color ref...

We are in Andalusia!

The flight from Berlin to Málaga took just over three hours and was fully booked; among the passengers were several infants who—most likely unhappy with flying at altitude—screamed at the top of their lungs for the entire journey. Consequently, we couldn't even try to catch up on sleep after a nigh...
