    How Sporty is Spain?

    I recently took up running and had occasion to shop for running gear and suddenly I’m seeing people wearing “sports” clothing everywhere. Most are unlikely to be heading to the gym. It’s almost like when you decide to buy a certain model of car, you start to see that model everywhere.

    Frankly I’m blown away by the sheer number of people buying jogging pants and tracksuits or football shirts. And running shoes – fuhggedaboutit.

    If I had more of an inclination I would delve into the data of how much the sports clothing and accessories market is worth in Spain and how much of that is really just fashion vs function.

    So is Spain more or less sporty than the number of people wearing sports apparel?

  • Why I Live In Pinos del Valle

    8am in my sleepy village of Pinos del Valle, nestled in the mountains overlooking the Lecrin Valley opposite the amazing Las Alpujarras in Andalusia, Spain.

    ps. Turn your speakers on.

    The old finally invaded by the new, which becomes old only to be reinvaded. And so it goes.

    We went in search of ice cream as the wind blew and waves crashed. Across from the ‘Tres Hermanos’ bar was this beautifully contrasting structure with such striking colours.

  • Home. Soon

    In 2013 this will be home.
