The key is ours!

Some days you remember for the rest of your life. 29 September 2026 is one of them. Just after noon we sat at a table by the sea with a bunch of keys in front of us. The keys to Casa Vega. Our house.

The feeling is hard to describe. We have talked about this for years, planned, calculated, sold and searched. We have flown down to see houses, had our worries and sleepless nights. And then suddenly you are sitting there with the keys in your hand and can hardly believe it is real.

A toast to the dream
A day like that has to be celebrated, so the bubbles came out. We toasted the house, each other and everything that lies ahead. With the sea in front of us and the sun in a cloudless sky, it was hard to imagine a better way to begin.

Up on the roof terrace
Afterwards we drove up to Punta Lara and let ourselves in for the first time as owners. We went straight up to the roof terrace. Standing there, with the mountains on one side, white houses and red roofs all the way down towards the coast and the sea in the distance, it really sank in: this is ours.

Our first days as homeowners
The next few days were about settling in. On the first morning Anja sat down in the courtyard with coffee and breakfast at the little mosaic table, and it has already become her spot.

In the afternoon we went down to the beach for a walk along the water, with the sun low and the shadows long. In the evening we found a little bar in town, where Anja had her first mojito as a homeowner in Spain.

Finally a place in Spain
The most exciting part is thinking about everything to come. Morning coffee in the courtyard, long dinners on the terrace and drinks on the roof terrace as the sun goes down. Family and friends coming to visit. And a place we can travel to when everyday life in Denmark gets too grey.

But first the house has to become ours. Furniture has to go out and new pieces have to come in, and there is painting, planting and decorating to do. You can follow along here on the blog.

¡Hasta pronto!
