Steve Hopkins
Steve Hopkins has worn more hats than a village fiesta band — internet marketing guru, public speaker, copywriter (yes, he was the chap behind those letters and brochures that used to fill your letterbox), and international estate agent. Along the way he’s launched businesses, travelled widely, and learned that wherever you go, people are endlessly funny, flawed, and fascinating.
Now semi-retired in a small Andalusian village, Steve holds the unofficial title of “expat grandfather.” From his perch at a café terrace — café con leche in hand — he observes the quirks of local life and weaves them into his bestselling Brits Abroad series. These books are not glossy tourist fantasies; they’re laugh-out-loud snapshots of the real Spain, packed with fiestas gone wrong, neighbours with more opinions than olives, and expats discovering that sunshine doesn’t always make life simpler, just funnier.
With warmth, wit, and a raconteur’s charm, Steve invites readers to join him in celebrating the chaos, comedy, and camaraderie of expat life. His stories aren’t just about moving to Spain — they’re about community, resilience, and finding joy in the unexpected.

“In an Andalusian village, news travels faster than Wi-Fi. Your neighbour knows what you had for breakfast before you do. The fiestas start on time — but only by accident. And somehow, everyone’s related to the guy at the bar.”
