Turia Park and bridge in Valencia Spain - what expats in Spain miss most about home

What do expats in Spain miss most about home? This question has been on my mind lately as it seems to pop up more and more amongst friends who have moved out of the States and now live abroad. Wanderlust aside, the day to day living sometimes means lamenting what one had.

Nostalgia creeps in time and again. I decided to do an informal survey to see what expats in Spain, both new and old, found missing in their new homes. It was reassuring to find that a couple of things were universal. One hundred percent across the board. Read on to find out the seven most often missed things by Expats, plus a bonus reason or two.

Marrakech Podcast:

The Koutoubia Mosque in Marrakesh

A Marrakech visit is an absolutely delightful way to spend your vacation!   Since this would have turned into a small novel if l decided to just write about it,  l added an accompanying podcast so as to squeeze in as much information as possible. Our journey started out a little rough when l realized upon getting to the airport that l had forgotten my luggage at home :-(. I only had my purse and toothbrush on me!

A trip to the souk fixed that upon arrival though. Marrakesh deserves your visit. Here are the reasons why l think more and more people are discovering a part of Africa that has long been a playground for the extremely rich and very famous people like The Beatles in their prime, The Rolling Stones, and Winston Churchill.

Istanbul Visit Was Delightful:

Our first visit to Istanbul was a runaway success! We spent a bit over a week exploring just part of this humongous and absolutely fascinating city. We only got to experience just a bit, which was nice as it keeps you wanting to come back for more. The people were extremely friendly and helpful. I had previously been to Istanbul, but it was only a 24 hour layover. You will agree with us that Istanbul is a turkish delight and not just because of the candy.

l wanted to experience the city with my husband so l did not go sight seeing. As luck would have it, shortly after, Turkish Airlines had a €99 round trip fare that we took advantage of. Yeah :-). It’s always a good idea to search for deals. I like to use Skyscanner (putting everywhere as the destination, so that you get loads of deal fares). Hopefully, you will agree with me that Istanbul is a Turkish delight for sure. It’s full of yummy goodness.
