Growing up in the busy city of Madrid, Spanish actress Elsa Pataky always fantasised about relocating to a small town by the ocean.
And after marrying Australian actor Chris Hemsworth, all of Elsa’s dreams came true.
The 42-year-old, who has lived in coastal NSW since 2014, told WHO magazine on Thursday: ‘I always dreamt in my head l would live in a place like Byron Bay.’

‘I achieved what I wanted, because I think a connection to nature is something you really need,’ she added.
Elsa has made no secret about her love for Australia since moving to Byron Bay, and appears to be making the most of the region’s laid-back lifestyle.
In September 2014, she and Chris – who is best known for his role in the Thor film series – decided to leave LA and splash out on a $7.2million property in the town.

Elsa recently told The Sydney Morning Herald that she would ‘never live in LA again’ and hoped her children would grow up to appreciate how amazing their home is.
She has been married to Chris, 35, for eight years, and the couple share three children together: daughter India Rose, six, and twin sons Tristan and Sasha, four.
The family is often spotted by locals enjoying everything the coastal town has to offer, and they are known to particularly like the beaches.

‘Every time we [the family] have to travel, we miss it,’ Elsa added.
After spending time in Brisbane and Sydney promoting her new Netflix series, Tidelands, Elsa posted a beachside selfie upon her return to Byron Bay on Wednesday.
‘So good to be back home with the kids,’ Elsa captioned the post
