Bonjour!

I'm Fabian — a French native, British citizen, and now a proud resident of Torremolinos. After over two decades in London working in advertising, I moved to the Costa del Sol in search of a slower, sunnier pace of life.

I'm passionate about food, travel, design, and architecture, and I’ve brought those passions into everything I do — from designing my holiday home to crafting thoughtful, experience-rich guides for guests. I create bespoke guest guides for holiday rentals, as well as travel content and local insight through my blog, all focused on the vibrant Costa del Sol.

Whether you're here to relax, explore, or indulge, I hope my recommendations help you experience the very best of the coast — just like a local.

Have a great holiday!

Fabian
