Description
I am a Cuban/American married to a Spaniard. Have lived in Spain for 35 years where I have raised my family. Our home is 20 km from Valencia City and would love to have someone that speaks english sharing time with us and helping us with our homes. We are connected to the beach and Valencia Center by tram so there is no transportation problem.
Alex, my husband, is Spanish but has lived in Italy during his high school years so he speaks Italian. It is important to note that we are not vegetarian.
I was born in Cuba, but raised in Miami. We both have travelled a lot and lived in different countries like Cuba, Venezuela, Mexico, Italy, and in Spain in Madrid, Barcelona and finally in Valencia which we love.
At home we have a piano for those that love to play. My husband and I both really enjoy listening to the piano at home and we have mountain bikes so you can enjoy the area.
We are nonsmokers so we do not accept smoking in the house.
