Hello, we are Iain and Anabel, your guides to the vibrant city of Alicante, Spain! Nestled in the heart of Alicante’s bustling center, we’ve found our haven and couldn’t be happier. With its unparalleled quality of life, it’s no wonder Alicante was ranked the second-best place for expats worldwide by Forbes Magazine.

Anabel, originally from the north of Spain, spent nearly a quarter of a century immersing herself in British culture before returning to her roots. Meanwhile, Iain, hailing from England, found his true passion in Alicante, swapping his chef’s hat for a sunhat and embracing the Mediterranean lifestyle.

For Iain, the Central Market holds a special place in his heart. As a devoted cook, he delights in sourcing the freshest ingredients to craft culinary masterpieces. And when he’s not in the kitchen, you’ll find him soaking up the lively atmosphere of Postiguet beach, reveling in the energy of the crowds.

Anabel adores Alicante’s climate, especially compared to the ever-changing weather of the UK, though she’s quick to jest that she’s more English than Iain when the summer heat kicks in. Both of us are captivated by Alicante’s penchant for fiestas, eagerly joining in the city’s celebrations week after week.

One of our favorite pastimes is hopping on the tram to Benidorm, just an hour away, where the fun never seems to end. Despite our years in Alicante, we still approach each day with the curiosity of tourists, capturing its beauty through our lenses and sharing its hidden gems with you.

We’re enchanted by Alicante’s accessibility, with the airport a mere 20-minute bus ride away and the train station conveniently located in the city center, offering seamless connections to destinations like Madrid.

From hidden treasures to off-the-beaten-path experiences, we’re here to provide insider tips and guidance, ensuring you make the most of your Alicante adventure.
