Description
We are a wonderful family of five: my three children, our dog Selva, and me. My eldest daughter, Helena, is 22 years old and lives in Madrid, where she is studying. David is 18 years old and will soon be moving to France to continue his studies. Llum is 13 years old and is the youngest in the family.
My husband passed away five years ago. I am a teacher and I usually work in the mornings, except on Wednesdays.
We live in Sant Feliu de Guíxols, a beautiful town on the Costa Brava. It is a wonderful place with stunning landscapes and a fantastic beach. Our home is always full of people, as we often have my children’s friends and our family visiting us.
We love travelling, enjoying nature and spending time together. We are a very close, active and open-minded family, and we really enjoy sharing our home with other people. -

Selva (7 years)
Selva is a dog that's always friendly with humans and with other dogs, it depends on. If she trusts the other dog, she'll play tirelessly, but if she's afraid, she might show her anger, but she never is dangerous.

They always made sure to provide vegetarian … read more
