It’s no secret that many Americans and expats from other parts of the world are moving to Spain in droves and need an excellent English-speaking immigration lawyer to help them navigate the complex process of applying for visas, NIEs, and other legal and tax requirements.

Whether you’re just purchasing property, moving to Spain for studies, or becoming a permanent resident, finding an excellent English-speaking lawyer in Spain is easier said than done. But what if there was an easier way? What if good English-speaking lawyers contacted you online, offering helpful advice and a way to contact them for a free initial consultation?

It's late at night, and darkness engulfs us as I drive southbound on Highway AP-7 between Barcelona and Tarragona. I am thinking of the Roman Empire because Highway AP-7 follows the ancient Roman road, the Via Augusta, which once linked Cadiz with Rome.

Traffic is light, but mosquitoes swarm the car, challenging visibility. Our windshield wiper fluid is exhausted, leaving smeared bugs obstructing the view.

Every few kilometers, electronic signs in Catalan, French, English, and Castilian warn about highway robbers. I smirk, imagining Roman travelers worrying about highwaymen.

Food is a religion in Spain, and perfectly prepared seafood, rice dishes (paellas), and embutidos (jamón Ibérico) represent the Holy Trinity of coastal cuisine among the top-end restaurants along the Costa Blanca.

Restaurant owners on the Costa Blanca know their trade well and offer top-notch food and service, often boasting a loyal local following. However, challenges do arise when their local slice of coastal paradise becomes a haven for tourists and expats from northern Europe (and more recently North America), who may or may not be familiar with the local cuisine’s more “traditional” aspects.

When one thinks of Spain, the image of a steaming paella often dances through our collective minds. It's practically a culinary postcard from España—a cliché. But hold onto your forks! Upon touching down in Valencia, some of you might be shocked to discover that what we've been calling Paella all this time is actually called "Arroz a la Marinera"—a delightful mix of rice, saffron, and seafood. But how about the "real" Valencian paella? Well, that's a different dish, loaded with rabbit and snails and eaten only during the day, ideally on or near the beach, surrounded by family. Oh, and the rice? It must be super al dente. Culture shock. I know.

Welcome to Benidorm: Purgatory or Misunderstood Paradise?

Benidorm is the beach resort that put Spanish overtourism on the map before it was trendy. It has a reputation for being a cultural wasteland (think geriatric British larger louts and kebab and curry shops under the Spanish sun), so we've come here to find out if its reputation is warranted...so you don't have to.

But could it be that Benidorm's reputation is unwarranted? I've heard from plenty of Spanish tourists from Madrid who love Benidorm. Could thousands of Madrileños that visit Benidorm every year be wrong?

So let’s find out if Benidorm is a misunderstood gem or if it deserves its legendary reputation.

From the Road to Damascus to an island paradise in the Mediterranean, because even Saints need to relax once in a while. Welcome to Tabarca Island (once known as Saint Paul’s Island, as it was rumored that St. Paul stopped there on his travails), the perfect antidote to the hustle and bustle of Alicante and Benidorm.

When I heard about a tiny Island on the Mediterranean Sea, off the coast of Alicante, that didn´t allow cars (because you can walk around it in a couple of hours) and was surrounded by the crystalline waters of a marine sanctuary, whose fifty permanent inhabitants still live behind the protective walls built in the 18th century as protection against Barbary pirates, I knew I had to go and spend a day there. It sounded exactly like my kind of place.

La Costa Blanca, with its stunning Mediterranean coastline, vibrant local culture, and picturesque towns (it even has flamingos), has long been a hotspot for real estate agencies targeting the British and northern European markets. However, as the local market becomes increasingly competitive, real estate firms in Spain’s Costa Blanca must adopt the latest digital marketing strategies to stand out from the noise and attract new buyers.

What do Michael Jordan, Paris Hilton, and Leonardo Di Caprio have in common (apart from their celebrity status)? They are known to regularly charter luxury yachts to enjoy the Mediterranean coasts of Spain and the Baleares Islands.

The fact is that all three of them have been recently spotted off the coast of Ibiza enjoying a well-earned rest (I’m sure) aboard a rented luxury yacht. And as long as A-list celebrities (and why not B-list and D-list celebrities) need to rent luxury yachts for their Spanish Mediterranean vacation, they might as well rent them from your yacht charter business. Right?
