    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are a family living in Sopela, in the Basque Country, close to Bilbao and the beach. We enjoy a calm and friendly home environment and are happy to share our daily life with someone who joins us.

    The cultural exchange here is mainly based on everyday family life. You would be welcome to share meals with us, practice languages (Spanish and/or English), and experience Basque culture, traditions, food, and local life. We are happy to help you discover the area, including Bilbao and the coastal surroundings, and to share our routines and way of living as a local family.

    At the same time, we also respect independence and privacy. You would have your own private living space with kitchen, so there is a good balance between family interaction and personal time. We enjoy friendly conversation, cultural exchange, and learning about your background, country, and experiences as well.
