Description
Hello guys!
Welcome to our lovely family of 5 members: My husband Jorge, me (Yolanda), Sara who is 11 years old, Hugo who is 9 years old and a cheeky but cute dog Milù.
We are living in a big house and we have a lovely garden with vegetables. After a hot day in Spain you can cool down and relax in our pool. It's a lovely place to spend amazing days and nights!
Our home is nearby the beautiful city Tarragona, La Secuita. It is a town where you can find everything you need! And the best thing is: You can easily go everywhere on foot or by bike. You can also find a lot of activities: zumba, padel, pilates, yoga, gymnastics, horse riding and so much more! As you can see, you will definitely not get bored here.
After you have seen the most of our lovely town you can go to Tarragona which is just 9 kilometres away from our home. You can easily reach it with a bus nearby or I can drive you sometimes. When you arrive there, you can either relax at the one of the beautiful beaches, take some diving-classes or do other activities. In the evening (or also in the afternoon) you can grab one or maybe more drinks in one of the plenty bars in the city. ;) There you can find a lot of young people partying and having fun!
If you prefer getting to know some amazing monuments, Tarragona is also perfect for you. It is a World heritage city where you can find many incredible and well-preserved monuments from the Roman times.
I`m a busy woman who is always on the road. This allows me to take you with me to show you a lot of amazing places nearby if you want to.
I am working as a foreign language teacher in a secondary school from the morning till 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Jorge is a fireman. He has to work one day for 24 hours and 3 days after it he has three days off to rest.
If you want to get more information about our family or the work, you can ask us anytime and we would love to receive message from you! :)
We would like to have women instead of men.
