From Sella
Notes
Notes from the house, the village and the mountain.
The house is ours
We signed at the notary. What it took to buy a village house in Spain, and who helped us get there.
Three days in Sella
We spent three days back in Sella, settling the last big decisions on the project and getting to know the village that will hold it. Wood-fired bread, an easy welcome, and a pace we keep wanting to return to.

Why the Aitana
Beyond the neon lights of the coast lies the Aitana range, a rugged, limestone frontier where the spirit of the ascent meets the stillness of a historic sanctuary. Discover why this high-altitude landscape is becoming the definitive basecamp for the purposeful traveler.
The architecture of a new life
What happens when two people leave the city to restore a mountain home? A story of grit, limestone, and the search for a more purposeful way to live and host.
