Five Brain Goals for a Calmer, Healthier Life in Spain

What happens when you don't just move countries — but move brains?

In this episode of Spanish Practices, I explore how moving to Spain quietly rewires your brain, especially if you arrive tired, overstimulated, and worn down by modern life.

From walkable towns and Mediterranean food to better sleep, slower thinking, and everyday social connection, this episode shares five simple brain goals for anyone starting a new life in Spain — or dreaming of one.

This isn't about optimisation, biohacking, or becoming a "better version" of yourself. It's about becoming more human again.

You'll discover:

• Why daily walking in Spain beats gym culture for brain health

• How Spanish food rhythms calm your nervous system

• Why sleep is treated as infrastructure, not indulgence

• How language, history, and slowness build mental resilience

• Why frequent small social interactions matter more than deep friendships

Perfect for expats in Spain, those planning to move to Spain, or anyone craving a slower, healthier, more connected life.

Spain won't fix your brain — but it might give it the space to remember what it was built for.
