I kept telling myself I'd write an update once I felt truly settled. That happened somewhere around the three-month mark.
I'm originally from Ghent, Belgium, where I worked as a bicycle frame builder, crafting custom steel and titanium bikes by hand. I loved the work, but I wanted to experience a country where cycling is part of everyday life.
Before moving, I found an apartment through https://alegria-realestate.com/. Having everything arranged before arriving made those first weeks much less stressful.
Now I spend my days building custom bicycles for local riders and international clients. Every project is different, and I've learned a lot from Spanish craftsmen who approach the same work in completely different ways.
