Description
We are an Italian / Venezuelan couple with 2 kids (12 and 10 years old) that are with us 50% of the time, 2 dogs and 3 cats that live outside the house
We are ovo lacto vegetarians, we enjoy cooking and our specialities are: Venezuelan, Italian and Indian dishes.
We live in a very green area called Vega de San Mateo in the center of Gran Canaria, up the mountains (around 1000m sea level)
We are 45 minutes away by bus from the capital and there are buses every 30 minutes.
This island is well known for its touristic beaches, natural pools and good weather in the south but there is much more to it, around our house
there are plenty of hiking trails, typical little cute villages, protected national park and pine wood.
