This month in Spain felt a little differently. After having settled into Madrid and the lifestyle of a high-rise apartment, walking to shops and restaurants and taking our puppy up and down an elevator daily, we began thinking longer-term in Spain. While there will always be factors in our lives that could lead to an […]

#sponsored by Sazon the Folk Cook; opinions are my own The bros and I had the best afternoon in Chamartin, Madrid, Spain having a meal at the home of a stranger. Wait, what? You read that right! We walked into the home of a complete stranger this past Sunday and had an authentic, Spanish meal […]

For the first time in maybe my life, I left Logan behind and took a quick 36-hour trip to a new area of Spain for the bros and I. This time, the trip was different than just sightseeing around Spain and there was purpose behind it: searching for secondary schools. Now that Landon is heading […]

Before we kicked off the holidays, we were thrilled to spend a weekend in the gorgeous city of Sevilla, Spain. In Andalucía in southern Spain, we spent a long weekend exploring the beautiful local sites and taking in the beauty of this charming city. Honestly, we didn’t know what to expect, but we were pretty […]

hosted by Señorio de Nevada; opinions are my own It had been close to a year since my last writing gig for a hotel. If you’ve been following along since my hotel writing days, that used to be my main focus when it came to family travel. However, since our move to Madrid, Spain and […]

We took our first trip by high-speed train in Spain to travel 2.5 hours from Madrid to Barcelona. By car, this would have took us about 6.5 hours. Choosing to take the high-speed train has opened our eyes to efficient ways to travel around Spain as we live out our goal of visiting all of […]

Wow! It is so hard to believe that one year has come and gone. Often times, our family thinks back to those first days after we just moved to Madrid. Some of the questions running in our heads were, What will we do for work now that Logan quit his IT Executive job in the […]

#hosted by Devour; opinions are my own Even though we live in Madrid and have for almost one year, one of the best ways to experience Madrid, Spain is through a food tour. Whether it’s together as a family or a date night, Devour has great food and walking tours that provide a great way […]

Our stay was discounted by Club Cala Azul; all opinions are my own. Our family was excited to spend one of the last weekends of summer on the island of Ibiza. We really enjoyed our month in Tenerife and visits to Mallorca and Menorca, so Ibiza seemed like a logical next choice. Although we enjoyed […]

Besides small towns giving the most authentic feels of Spain, this family loves the beaches of Spain most! We started our journey living for one month in Tenerife, one of the Canary Islands of Spain and it spoiled us for all of the beaches we’d experience while living here. While everyone has a different opinion […]

It’s time to renew our family’s visas, so we made a summer weekend out of it in Jávea, Spain. We had already visited this area once before when we went to Dénia near Valencia, but we were excited to experience a new beach town in Spain. Because the lawyer that we used for our visas […]

To be fully transparent, our family is a bit more cook-at-home type people vs. eating out so this list is short. But I wanted to put together a short list of food places in Madrid that you cannot miss if you’re visiting Madrid. At the bottom of this article, I have included a list of […]
