This weekend we could finally get cracking, because we have all the things we need! I had to work Friday night, so we arrived after 12 in Caspe. I haven’t driven in a long time so I wanted to drive this time, but I regretted this immensely. It was pitch dark out and lots of…

Driving a van and eating jam
And another busy week passed. Friday I threw a party for my birthday in Barcelona. This was a lot of fun, especially because our friends live in Barcelona or close by so this could be the last time we can do this. That sounds a bit sad, but that’s why I enjoyed it even more….
Enjoying Spain together
Our friend Awa arrived on the 28th of May late at night, after leaving 4 in the morning from Rotterdam. It’s a good thing she likes driving, because I wouldn’t do it. The first weekend we visited the beach, different parks and ate a lot in the city. During the rest of the week we…
Good fences make good neighbours
And our second weekend here has flown by. Because of Pentecost we could stay Friday until Monday, so we got a lot more done! On Friday I went to the water company that handles irrigation for our municipality and got us registered. They told us we’re getting water every 14 days and we can find…
Proud homeowners!
So much has happened the past weekend! We were in a hurry Friday morning, and as usual we packed way too much. But then again, what should you pack when camping in your house without water or electricity? For sure two apple pies for the neighbours. Since we were in a hurry I had to…

It’s already been two months since we made the reservation for the house. The first weeks of waiting felt like forever, but by the time I’m writing this time flew by. So it’s time for an update, because we’re finally signing on the 14th of May! So what’s been happening in our life the last…
The (pre)purchase is done!
Yes! Today the lawyer called us and had some good news to tell us! We have a ‘go’ again. I already printed out the new contract early in the morning because I planned to go to the beach with a friend. So Thomas sent the signed copies and we received a signed copy back. Now…
Still Spain
We woke up today and got an early call from our lawyer. But not with the news that we wanted, because the house is apparently not registered. In Spain a house needs to be registered at the municipality and the national registry. When this is not done correctly the house is illegal and there is…
The start of our dream!
Finally we’re on our way to (hopefully) our future casa! For a few years now we’ve been dreaming of living off the grid and being self-sufficient. We want to escape the busy city life and enjoy the things that really matter to us. We want to live in balance with the earth and according to…
