- [El Camino de Santiago Roadtrip Part 5: El Camino Inglés](https://guiriguru.com/el-camino-de-santiago-roadtrip-part-5-el-camino-ingles/): By Max Milano (Travel Writer and Photographer) This is part five of a six part El Camino de Santiago Roadtrip. You can read the rest of the chapters here. Hanging around Santiago de Compostela, surrounded by unenthusiastic pilgrims completing their camino by feebly posing for social media posts, was getting me down. So we decided to head out to Cape Fisterra, the end of the earth as the Romans thought. Only later did we learn that it isn’t even the westernmost cape in the Iberian Peninsula (that’s in Portugal) nor the westernmost point in Spain (that honor belongs to Cabo […]
- [Spain, We Need to Talk](https://guiriguru.com/spain-we-need-to-talk/): The Dark Reality Behind the Spanish Driving Test Industry By Max Milano (Travel Writer) Spain, we need to talk.I know that we expats, particularly those of us from the United States, are often seen as privileged, maybe even entitled. And sure, many of us arrive with advantages. But the truth is that Americans and Northern Europeans who choose to make Spain their home bring a lot into the economy. We spend locally, we pay taxes, we hire professionals, we enroll our kids in schools, we buy homes and cars, and we contribute exactly as we should. And I also believe […]
- [The Road to Santiago Part 4: Galicia & The End of El Camino](https://guiriguru.com/the-road-to-santiago-part-4-the-end-of-el-camino/): By Max Milano (Travel Writer) Morning is quiet and thick with mist. After nearly a month on the Road to Santiago, it feels like forever. My feet sink into the cold water of a Galician ría, eyes fixed on the fjord-like channel ahead until it vanishes into fog. The pines across the ría blur between green and gray, their slopes hidden by a drifting veil of fog that slides down to the waterline. Coastal Galicia is a land of rías. They begin as muddy flats and widen into long, narrow bays that are briny and alive with clams, crabs, and […]
- [The Road to Santiago, Part 3: Cantabria to Galicia](https://guiriguru.com/the-road-to-santiago-part-3-cantabria-to-galicia/): By Max Milano Dusk on Laredo beach. My feet sink into the wet sand as the last surf pulls back. We’ve come a long, hot way from La Rioja, via Vitoria-Gasteiz, skirting Bilbao’s police state cameras and slow-motion speed traps on the freeways and B roads. We’ve been chasing the coast, longing for cooler air. It was an asphalt-melting thirty-five degrees today in Vitoria-Gasteiz. We find relief on the Cantabrian shore. Laredo. A name that rings of Texas cowboys, but this beach is no Texas. The tide is low, and the wet sand stretches wide like a silver tongue in […]
- [The Road to Santiago. Part 2: La Rioja to Bayonne](https://guiriguru.com/el-camino-de-santiago-roadtrip-day-9-la-rioja/): A Pilgrim’s Road Trip Along the Camino de Santiago By Max Milano, Travel Writer & Photographer It has been a long, tough road to get to La Rioja, Spain’s premier wine region, but it’s been worth it. We’ve set our GPS to avoid tolls so we can really see the country. The freeways in Spain are antiseptic and empty, skirting small towns and cities like a gerrymandered political map. We want to see the little towns where no one goes out during siesta, because the heat comes down like a punishment from God. Nothing is open. Only the locals know […]
- [The Road to Santiago. Part 1: Cuenca to Bilbao](https://guiriguru.com/el-camino-de-santiago-roadtrip-day-5/): A Pilgrim’s Road Trip Along the Camino de Santiago By Max Milano (Travel Writer & Photographer) “We’re staying in a retirement home for old ETA members,” I hear my wife say from the bedroom as I sip a Scotch and Coke Zero on the balcony of the Hotel Arriaga in Bilbao. Below me, a narrow alley funnels the whole of humanity into the maze of Bilbao’s Old Town. I hear Dutch. German. Latin American Spanish. French. Even Basque. At the far end of the alley, over the tram tracks, is a slow dark river that splits the town in two. […]
- [The Road to Santiago. Prologue: Valencia to Cuenca](https://guiriguru.com/spain-camino-de-santiago-road-trip-day-one-valencia-to-cuenca/): A Pilgrim’s Road Trip Along the Camino de Santiago By Max Milano (Travel Writer & Photographer) The Med in August is hot like fish soup. The air hangs heavy. The palms don’t move and the heat rides up from the Sahara with the sirocco. Yellow dust settles at dusk, and it’s 9:30 p.m. before the sun drops, because Spain still runs on Berlin time, a gift from Franco to Hitler that no one’s bothered to undo. We’re heading north to the Camino de Santiago. Straight north until we hit the cooling waters of the Bay of Biscay. We long for […]
- [Cuenca: Hanging Houses & Roman Ruins](https://guiriguru.com/cuenca-hanging-houses-roman-ruins/): By Max Milano (Travel Writer & Photographer) I’m standing on a wobbly iron bridge bolted to the cliffs of Cuenca. They say it’s built in the Eiffel style, but when you step out onto it, it feels more Indiana Jones than Paris. The metal creaks underfoot. Hundreds of feet below, a river snakes through a canyon so deep you can hear it before you see it. Thick brush hides the water, but nothing hides the view. There they are: the Hanging Houses of Cuenca, clinging to the edge of a sheer rock face like swallows’ nests. Across the gorge stands […]
- [Roman Sagunto, Spain: The City Hannibal Burnt Where the Paella Still Sizzles](https://guiriguru.com/roman-sagunto-spain-a-city-hannibal-burt-and-paella/): By Max Milano (Travel Writer) I, like most tourists and expats, must’ve driven past Sagunto a hundred times. Always between Valencia and Barcelona. Always in a rush. The AP-7 skirts along the Mediterranean, passing citrus groves, factory outlets, beach towns with nondescript condos, and even a Roman aqueduct. But then there’s that hill, the one crowned by an ancient fortress that seems to grow out of the stone itself. I never stopped. Most tourists don’t. We fly past at 120 km/h, thinking only of where we’re going. Valencia’s got paella. Barcelona’s got tapas and crema catalana. But Sagunto? Just a […]
- [The Reluctant Pilgrim: Road-Tripping the Camino de Santiago from Bayonne to Santiago de Compostela](https://guiriguru.com/reluctant-pilgrim-road-tripping-camino-de-santiago/): By Max Milano (Travel Writer) We didn’t do the Camino to find ourselves. We did the Camino de Santiago because the Mediterranean summer tried to kill us. We weren’t looking for God, inner peace, or enlightenment. We did it because in July on the Costa Blanca the air stops moving and the Med becomes a hot lake. Fish soup. The sea is so hot and still that even the Roman garum vats that dot the rocky coast near Javea begin to look like someone’s about to dump a new batch of anchovies in and let them rot to make more […]
- [Top 10 Best Digital Marketing Tools Spain Expats Need to Succeed](https://guiriguru.com/top-10-best-digital-marketing-tools-for-spain-expats/): At some point in every expat’s journey through Spain, somewhere between your third bocadillo de jamón and your first encounter with the dreaded Ayuntamiento, you’ll feel it. That itch. The one that whispers, ‘You need to start a business.’ Maybe it’s a beachside café. Maybe a yoga retreat in the hills of Ronda. Maybe you’ve got a software idea you swear will change the world, or at least solve one weird Spanish paperwork problem. Whatever the dream, one truth remains: if you want your venture to succeed, you need digital marketing. And not just the “post once a week on […]
- [For Whom the Horn Honks: An Expat’s Spain Driving Test Calvary](https://guiriguru.com/an-expats-spain-driving-test-calvary/): By Max Milano (Travel Writer) The day of the driving test finally came. Months of waiting. Over a thousand euros spent on driving school fees, paperwork, and lessons. He’d already flunked the first written exam. This was the last chance before the whole thing reset. Another fail would mean 300 euros to re-enroll in the school. The written exam stayed valid for two years, but the rest? Gone. Then 50 euros per driving lesson, with the driving school requiring at least ten. Mandatory. No debate. This, despite the fact that the expat had been driving since high school back in […]
- [The Day Fideuà Was Born: A Salty Tale From the Port of Gandia](https://guiriguru.com/the-day-fideua-was-born-a-tale-from-gandia/): by Max Milano (Travel Writer). Valencian fishermen leave port before dawn to haul in the day’s catch, so there’s something about being out on a boat under the hot midday sun that makes them tired and hungry. It was out on the warm waters of the Mediterranean, just off the coast of Gandia, sometime in the early 20th century (around the 1930s) that a hungry captain aboard the Santa Isabel waited for his lunch. He was not a man of patience. The kind who’d bark orders even at the fish. And his cook, Gabriel, knew this well. Gabriel Rodríguez Pastor, […]
- [Practical Tips for Expats: How to Survive the Supermarket Game in Spain (and Maybe Find Love)](https://guiriguru.com/how-to-survive-the-supermarket-game-in-spain/): Let’s start with a shocking truth: supermarkets in Spain are closed on Sundays. Closed. As in, shut down tighter than a Spanish pharmacy during siesta time. You’ve just stumbled out of bed on Sunday morning (after a big Saturday night), bleary-eyed, craving an orange juice, and boom, nada. No Mercadona. No Carrefour. Then, after wandering aimlessly along the quiet Sunday morning streets, you may or may not stumble upon a shady corner store with a pack of dusty Doritos. Welcome to Spain, amigo. But here’s the thing: Spanish people don’t mind. In fact, they plan for it. You’ll spot them […]
- [How To Sell Your Property in Spain for a Profit (Even If You Don’t Speak Spanish)](https://guiriguru.com/how-to-sell-your-property-in-spain-for-a-profit/): When Sarah, a British expat living in Alicante, decided to sell her sunny two-bedroom apartment near the beach, she assumed it would be easy. After all, Spain’s property market seemed hot, and the flat was in great condition, with a spacious balcony and sea views. She uploaded a few photos to a popular property portal, listed the price slightly higher than she had paid a few years ago, and waited for the calls to come in. Weeks passed. A few curious inquiries trickled in, mostly from local agents offering to list the home for her, but no real buyers. Worse, […]
- [Why You Absolutely Need A Good Real Estate Lawyer When Buying or Selling Property in Spain](https://guiriguru.com/why-you-need-a-good-real-estate-lawyer-in-spain/): Lawyer Up To Avoid Scams, Squatters, Bureaucracy, and Costly Mistakes when Purchasing Property In Spain As An Expat Buying or selling property in Spain can be one of the most rewarding moves of your life. Whether it is a beachfront villa, an investment apartment in a growing market, or your next full-time residence, the Spanish property market offers exciting opportunities for expats. However, those opportunities come with significant legal and bureaucratic challenges that are often underestimated. At GuiriGuru, we work with SAFTI Real Estate and a trusted network of bilingual lawyers to help expats avoid the pitfalls of Spain’s unique […]
- [Spain Real Estate Buying Process Checklist For Expats](https://guiriguru.com/spain-real-estate-buying-process-checklist/): Use This Checklist to Simplify the Complex Spain Real Estate Buying Process The buying process in Spain is different from what many foreign buyers expect. If you want to avoid delays, hidden surprises, and unnecessary stress, it is essential to understand the whole buying process before you start house hunting in Spain. This checklist walks you through every stage of the Spanish property buying journey: From finding the right home to signing at the notary and registering your new deed. Step 1: Get Your Finances in Order Before you start your search, determine your budget and get pre-approved if you’re […]
- [Valencian Fallas: Fiesta & Fire](https://guiriguru.com/valencian-fallas-fiesta-fire/): By Max Milano (Travel Writer & Photographer) Spain and fiestas go hand in hand, like jamón, paella, and sangría in the sun-soaked dreams of travelers the world over. Hemingway started that dream. His first novel, Fiesta (published as The Sun Also Rises in the U.S.), burned the image into the world’s mind: bulls thundering through narrow alleys, chasing drunk Americans as they slipped and stumbled over Pamplona’s cobblestones. But fiestas in Spain aren’t made for tourists. They never were. Fiestas are rituals. Ancient ones. Older than the Romans. Older than the Moors. Older even than the Iberians. They rise from […]
- [Beach, Bureaucracy & Broken Dreams: The Spain Real Estate Survival Guide](https://guiriguru.com/beach-bureaucracy-broken-dreams-the-spain-real-estate-survival-guide/): By Max Milano (Travel Writer) There is a reason why so many bright-eyed expats arrive in Spain full of hope and sunshine, only to end up neck-deep in housing disasters, unread WhatsApp messages, and real estate contracts that look like they were written during the Inquisition. One minute, you’re sipping cañas and daydreaming about tile work. Next, you’re begging a landlord in Valencia to explain why he wants 12 months of rent in cash and a photocopy of your soul. If you are new to Spain and trying to find a place to live, especially in big cities like Valencia, […]
- [Spain Roadtrip: Zaragoza to Teruel On The Mudéjar Highway](https://guiriguru.com/spain-roadtrip-zaragoza-to-teruel-mudejar-highway/): By Max Milano (Travel Writer & Photographer) The day begins with dust, dry air, and a sun sharp as glass, even this early. Aragon opens on the road before us. We’re in high desert country. Red and ancient. Carved by history and silence. Orwell called it beautiful in the snow, even with machine guns on the hills. Today, it’s just hot. Aragon is an arid, high inland desert that extends from the snow-capped Pyrenees Mountains in northern Spain down to the Ebro Valley and south towards Teruel and the border with Valencia. It’s hot in summer and cold in winter […]
- [Welcome to Benidorm: Purgatory or Misunderstood Paradise?](https://guiriguru.com/welcome-to-benidorm-purgatory-or-misunderstood-paradise/): By Max Milano (Travel Writer & Photographer) It begins, as these stories often do, with a pint of lager at 9 in the morning. We’re deep in the heart of the British zone, inside a place called “The Queen Vic,” and the man beside us has just announced that he’s on his third pint of the day and still hasn´t had breakfast. His skin is redder than a bullfighter’s cape, and he swears that the Scottish breakfast fry up being offered at the pub costs more than his flight (probably does). He may have no shirt, but plenty of opinions. […]
- [Tarragona Roman Spain: Have You Been Thinking Of The Roman Empire?](https://guiriguru.com/tarragona-roman-spain-thinking-of-the-roman-empire/): By Max Milano (Travel Writer & Photographer) 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 as they rode or walked […]
- [Roman Valencia: Romans Underground](https://guiriguru.com/discover-roman-valencia-romans-underground-spain/): By Max Milano (Travel Writer) In the quiet suburb of Lliria, just outside Valencia, Spain, I find myself standing beneath an apartment building, where a grand subterranean space was once meant to be a parking lot for the luxury apartments above. But a builder’s shovel struck more than just rock; it hit a Roman tombstone. The city’s swift intervention preserved the site, at the cost of the building losing its underground parking. This is a familiar tale in Spain, a country where Roman ruins are as common as their fiestas. Lliria’s ground regularly gives up its ancient secrets: a nymphaeum’s […]
- [Are You Team Paella or Fideuà? Meet Paella's Noodly Sister](https://guiriguru.com/team-paella-or-fideua-meet-paellass-noodly-sister/): By Max Milano (Travel Writer & Photographer) 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. 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”, which is a delightful mix of rice, saffron, and seafood. But how about “real” Valencian paella? That’s a different dish, loaded with rabbit and snails and eaten only during the day, ideally on or near […]
- [Cartagena Roman Spain: Carthage vs Rome](https://guiriguru.com/exploring-cartagena-roman-spain-with-max-milano/): By Max Milano (Travel Writer & Photographer) I’m deep inside the ruins of the Roman Forum in Cartagena, Spain. This was New Carthage (Carthago Nova). The sight of 2000-year-old amphorae, mosaics, and Corinthian columns is mind-blowing. Ancient lewd graffiti on the walls reflect the phallocratic obsessions of the average classical Roman. Two stories above us, in the modern city, a Spanish waiter yells at someone in an even more lewd tone, invoking the same phalluses that the classical Romans scratched in stone 2000 years ago. The more time changes, the more it stays the same. We can see the heating […]
- [L'Albufera: Birthplace of Valencian Paella](https://guiriguru.com/lalbufera-birthplace-of-valencian-paella/): By Max Milano (Travel Writer) A green sea of rice sways in the wind, stretching as far as my eyes can see. It’s a magic carpet of green waves shimmering under the bright Valencian sun. Just weeks ago, this was all water – a vast lagoon, an inland sea divided by dirt roads extending for miles. But today, all you see are green waves with golden flashes as the rice stalks dance in the breeze, dotted with white sparks from the stork-like birds that wade through the muck, poking the soft earth with their beaks in search of fish or […]
- [Alicante: A Day Trip To Tabarca Island](https://guiriguru.com/tabarca-island-spain/): 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.
- [Villajoyosa: A Jewel On the Costa Blanca](https://guiriguru.com/villajoyosa-a-jewel-on-the-costa-blanca/): By Max Milano (Travel Writer and Photographer) Roadtripping in Spain is always a journey of discovery. You might stumble upon the ruins of a Roman domus, almost forgotten by the roadside, or a string of 1,000-year-old Moorish castles on hills above the freeway. Spain is a country where Roman aqueducts dot the countryside, some just a few miles from seaside tourist hotspots where pale British visitors sip even paler beer and feast on English breakfasts of Heinz beans and sausages. This is the contrast you’ll find when you discover Villajoyosa, “The City of Joy” on the Costa Blanca. It’s close […]
- [After The Floods: We’re All Valencians Now](https://guiriguru.com/after-the-floods-were-all-valencians-now/): By Max Milano November 2024. I’m standing on the beach, but the beach is gone. Instead of miles of white sand and clear blue Mediterranean waters, there are now massive piles of debris stretching along the coast, fading into the horizon. The debris is stacked high in mounds, separated by lower stretches of rubble. It looks like the city bulldozers, usually here at dawn to smooth the sand, came early to build a grim mountain range of broken things. I walk up to the first pile, hardly believing it. Yesterday, this was still a beach, sand, surf, and the occasional […]
