Discover the Real Spain

Hot Costa is Pete Clark's personal guide to the towns, villages, and cities of Spain — and what is happening there.

Loving the Life Here

Pete Clark moved to Spain in 2001 and never looked back. What started as a personal adventure became a mission: to document the authentic heart of Spanish life — the hidden plazas, the local fiestas, the mountain villages, the stories that the locals tell - all those things that tourists rarely find.

Hot Costa is not a travel agency or a glossy magazine. It is a living guide moderated by someone who shops at the local mercado, argues about football at the bar, and has watched the almond trees blossom for more than two decades.

"We have lived in thirty different countries - for work as musicians and later on internet development - and whilst Spain is not perfect - it's the best country for us"
