In the 70´s in Sweden, Sylvia Vrethammar sang the hit song - I have been vacationing in Marbella "Jag har varit på semester i Marbella". My grandfather&grandmother started to enjoy Spain in the 50´s ( pic´s below) and my parents have been spending their winters in Costa Del Sol for the last 20 years. Maybe I will do the same, who knows.
Until now I have been traveling to Spain for vacations, relationships and work. The weather in Spain allows for more summer photo shoots, so that has been the goal until recently. I went to Costa Blanca to start working with interiors for a private client.
In Torrevieja there are many Scandinavians that are moving in to new homes in the sun and there has been a considerable Swedish influx since the 60´s. I flew into Alicante and decided to go a bit earlier to see some friends in Calpe, that just bought a house with an irresistible view over the bay.
I continued to wonderful Valencia and had dinner with an Ex by the beach.
Drove around Costa Blanca and stayed in Vila Joiosa that I really fell for, where friends of mine that had an apartment in this picturesque beach comunity for a long time gave me recommendations that made the stay memorable.

The wonderful thing with todays interior work is that so much can be done by all the types of comunication that are at hand. First I start with a home consultation, meaning we meet at the house/home/apartment/bungalow that you want to upgrade. See the place IRL together is the start of our journey to a new home/home away from home. Then go through the planning of the premise and look at the needs that have to be met for you as a new home owner to be content. After the initial day of meeting, looking at the new house/apt my work can be done via computer and telephone. There can be more visits, of course if needed. But the planning is done by me in my brain and computer with all of your plans and dreams incorporated after our get together. So when you need help in upgrading your Spanish, Italian or French home it´s easily done by me. See this link for more info in Swedish at Jimmy Schonning HEM
I would gladly help you upgrade your home away from home. Email me at js@jimmyschonning.com

Jag har varit på semester i Marbella och bara tänker och drömmer Espanol.
Och mitt hem går mest i rödgult kan man säga, själv har jag solbrännan som väl är i behåll.
På spanska folkets eldighet jag tänt och lagt mig till deras temperament.
Så här, si, låter min musik Eviva Espana.
Det här ni, det är romantik Eviva Espana.
Jag tar dom orden om igen Eviva Espana.
Min serenad är muy bien, Espana por favor.
Ifrån vägen tar jag mina kastanjetter för här ska dansas flamenco, ska ni se.
Det ska smattra i parketten när jag sätter igång en rivig grej med klackarna, olé.
Man struntar väl i gammal töntig pop för spanska stilen den är bättre opp.
Så här, si, låter min musik Eviva Espana.
Det här ni, det är romantik Eviva Espana.
Jag tar dom orden om igen Eviva Espana.
Min serenad är muy bien, Espana por favor.
Sedan sitter man apatiskt här och deppar när regnet öser ner och livet går i moll.
Kommer på mig att forma mina läppar till ord som " playa" och " Costa" och "Del Sol".
Med banderillen stadigt i min hand, jag jagar härmed kylan från vårt land.
Så här, si, låter min musik Eviva Espana.
Det här ni, det är romantik Eviva Espana.
Jag tar dom orden om igen Eviva Espana.
Min serenad är muy bien, Espana por favor.
