Firmly in Spain’s sunny south, between Andalusia and Valencia, Murcia is one of the country’s autonomous regions that gets overlooked in the dash elsewhere— usually farther south to the Costa del Sol or north to the Costa Blanca.
When it comes to lifestyle and location, it would not surprise me if one European city rarely enters your thoughts: Berlin, Germany’s capital.
From feedback, I know many IL subscribers envy my life—even if they don’t wish to emulate some adventures. But I rarely write about mainstream sights, expensive restaurants, or contrived experiences.

There’s a hidden Italy that’s as rich in castles, art towns, and vineyards as the country’s more familiar locations. Even glorious Tuscany contains secret spots---places where the living is sweet and homes remain affordable.

Blessed with golden beaches, late-night cities and wonderful food, Spain is a bargain. Enjoying mainland Europe’s best winter weather, the south basks in Mediterranean sunshine. But the less-discovered north also has its temptations.
Why travel writing is the best job in the world. It’s a fun way to fund your new overseas lifestyle---and it’s so easy to get started.

I’m sitting in the sun outside Concetta’s bar, sampling the local nectar. It may sound suspiciously like relaxation, but don’t be fooled. This is work—I’m researching longevity. This could be the key to rewinding my biological clock (yours too). Intense purplish-red, Cannonau certainly tastes healthy. And it’s only $2.10 a glass.
