About

Hi there,

I’m a Kiwi who came to visit Spain a few years ago and forgot to leave. Maybe it was the sunshine, maybe it was the  tapas, maybe it was the sangría… What ever it was, I fell in love with the country- especially Barcelona.

Spain Secrets is an Expat’s Guide to some hidden sides of Spain. An underground look at La Piel de Toro. And a footprint of great aventuras españolas…

Here is how I learned Spanish, and here are some ideas about how to change your life from working inside all day, to working on the beach.

I hope you find something useful in these writings. Feel free to drop me a line.
