We recorded this episode in Spain over half a bottle of Vermut—and let’s just say things got honest.
After two months of scouting Europe with a toddler, we’re breaking down our three Spanish contenders (Valencia, Alicante, and Málaga) and asking: could we actually live here?
But this isn’t your typical city guide. We’re comparing cities like exes, calling out red flags, daydreaming about our next chapter, and being brutally real about what makes a place livable—not just pretty.
In this episode:
- What Valencia, Alicante, and Málaga were really like as move-abroad contenders
- The city that gave us second-date energy vs. the one that felt like a vacation fling
- What actually matters when choosing a place to live long-term (beyond the food and beach vibes)
- How our family, lifestyle, and emotional needs shaped the way we saw each city
If you’ve ever tried to turn a vacation spot into a forever home—or debated if a city is husband material—this one’s for you.
