When in Spain

When in Spain


Comparing casas: the Spanish home & its curiosities

December 03, 2019

Since living in Spain I’ve discovered new kitchen contraptions, I’ve used household items that I never used in the UK (mop & bucket comes to mind) and developed an affection for dated furniture, confusing door bells and bidets. I’ve got used to literally hanging my laundry out in public, albeit clean of course! But I still miss a good wall to wall carpet when winter arrives.


Having lived in five different properties during my years in Spain I’ve noticed many interesting little idiosyncrasies of apartment living in Madrid. In this episode I look at the differences between Spanish homes and homes in the UK and USA.
