  This host offers a language exchange
  I would love to improve my Portuguese, but I'm also interested in learning Turkish, Danish and Arabic. My profession for years was teaching people Dutch, so I know how to teach people a language.

  What else ...

  Puerto Mika is a haven – a place to come home to and catch your breath – In the middle of the Alpujarras, at a one hour’s drive from Granada and Motril.
  We can offer you impressive valleys, majestic mountains, a rich history with Moorish architecture under a radiant sun and our warm hospitality.
  
  Puerto Mika is kind of cut off from the outside world. Back to basics: we generate electricity with our own solar panels and we get water from the adjacent Guadalfeo River, which provides pleasant cooling in the summer.
  
  You can visit the magnificent city of Granada, the thermal waters of Santa Fé, the beach is only a 45 minutes drive away and there are a lot of hiking and biking opportunities in La Alpujarra.
