It really is a lovely village full of many friendly people. There would be many opportunities to practice speaking Spanish with people in the village for someone who is studying the language.

Paloma, David, and their children fully welcomed me into their home and made me feel a part of their family. I loved being in Fresnedillas, a small town but still one full of liveliness and character. I got to meet many of their friends and neighbors in the town, as well as their extended family. They included me in all their events and daily… read more
