About

GoCostaBlanca.com is where your author, a Canadian expat living deep undercover amongst the Spanish,  reports about living as an expat in the Alicante area of Spain.

My name is Mike Papageorge; I have been living in and around the Costa Blanca (the province of Alicante) since early 2002. I am a Canadian living in Spain, which also means that I am a North American living in Europe. I am an avid road cyclist and runner and I work in the field of web development. More importantly, I came to Spain hot on the tracks of a wonderful Spanish woman whom I would later marry. We now have a little boy and live in a friendly family oriented Spanish city right on the edge of Alicante.
