What comes BEFORE moving to Spain?
Few days discovering if Costa Blanca is truly the one.
I moved here ten years ago with my two small children, navigating new schools, new language, new everything. Today, I guide families through the same journey—but with a decade of insider knowledge that makes all the difference.
BEFORE by Kata Bene offers week-long lifestyle discovery experiences across Costa Blanca's most beautiful coastal towns: Jávea, Moraira, Dénia, Benissa, Calpe, and Altea.
Stay in a carefully selected modern villa. Experience authentic Mediterranean living—morning markets, hidden beaches, local cafés. Explore hand-picked properties with honest, expert guidance. And get real answers to every question: schools, healthcare, expat life, bureaucracy, daily rhythms.
This isn't a property sales tour. It's the preview you need before making a decision.

Hello,
Ten years ago, I stood exactly where you are now – dreaming of a Mediterranean life but unsure if it was the right move for my family. With two young children (ages 2 and 5), leaving everything familiar behind felt overwhelming. Should we really do this? Would the kids adapt? What about schools, healthcare, daily life?
We took the leap, and it was the best decision we ever made.
Today, Jávea is home. My children have grown up bilingual, barefoot on the beach, surrounded by an incredible international community. I've built a successful real estate business here, helping hundreds of families find their perfect Mediterranean home. But more importantly, I've lived every challenge, every triumph, every unexpected joy of making this move.
That's why I created BEFORE by Kata Bene.
I know what you need to know before you move – not just property prices and square meters, but the real questions: Where will my kids make friends? Which beaches feel like home? What does a Tuesday morning actually look like here? How does bureaucracy really work?
BEFORE is the week I wish I'd had ten years ago. Instead of rushed property viewings and tourist hotels, you'll live in a beautiful villa, explore the coast with someone who knows every hidden cove, and experience authentic Mediterranean life. We'll look at properties, yes – but we'll also share morning coffee at my favorite café, visit the markets I shop at weekly, and talk honestly about schools, healthcare, expat life, and everything in between.
This isn't a sales pitch. It's a preview of your future, guided by someone who's walked this exact path and wants to make yours easier.
Welcome to your BEFORE week. Let me show you the Mediterranean life that changed everything for my family.
