I’m Maria; creative, mom, and lifestyle blogger in Valencia, Spain.
Ohla Living (formally known as Continental Fairy) started in 2008 as a family and mommy blog. Like many blogs out there, I started mine simply to jot down my thoughts and talk about what was happening at the time. Since moving to Valencia in 2012 Ohla Living has grown into a useful resource for English speaking locals and for those aspiring to live or visit Valencia.
I spend my free time exploring places around Valencia and beyond. I also enjoy writing about other aspects of our lives such as home life, kids, bilingualism, work, food, creativity, DIY, technology and anything else in between.
