We bought an OLD COUNTRY HOUSE in Rural Spain | ALL WE DID IN 2025

In 2023 we bought an old village house in rural Spain.
In 2024 we repaired ceilings and walls, learned how to lime plaster, ripped out old windows, installed new ones, knocked down walls, stripped back old plaster, chipped up old tiles, repaired a subfloor, restored original ceiling beams, learned to lay bricks, built a farmhouse kitchen, renovated a bathroom...!
And this is everything we did in 2025...

We hope you enjoy our 1 year DIY House renovation time lapse.

[ABOUT US]
We're Danny and Kate. In 2015 we moved from the UK to Barcelona, and after 8 years enjoying the busy city and sunny beaches we moved to the mountains to start a new adventure. We're renovating an old town house, building an off grid cabin, restoring an old stone house and farming 12.5 acres of land with regenerative agriculture and permaculture practices in Catalunya, Spain.

If you're interested in learning how to move to Spain as a British Expat, about buying property in rural Spain, or DIY renovation of an old country house, then consider subscribing to our channel to follow our journey. We share the good, the bad and the ugly, the successes and the mistakes, all in the hope that we can show you that if we can do it with no experience (but a lot of enthusiasm to give it a go) then so can you.
