  • Description

    Description

    We are a Dutch couple in our 50s who are leaving the rat race behind for a slower, richer life in rural Spain.
    Our finca near Vinaròs has a mandarin orchard, vegetable garden, olive trees and always something to work on.

    We are learning Spanish and we love to practice every day. If you speak Spanish — perfect! That is a big plus for us and we will really appreciate it.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We live in a rural area, just outside the friendly coastal town of Vinaròs (about 4–5 km from the beach and boulevard). It’s a relaxed and authentic Spanish environment.

    In your free time, you can:
    - go to the beach or explore the coastline (with watersports)
    - visit the well-known town of Peñíscola (about 25 km - bus)
    - explore the mountains and nature inland
    - enjoy local markets, culture and food
    - explore by train (Vinaros has a train station), f.e. to Barcelona. Valencia, Alicante
    - explore by bus
    - bicycles are available to go to town or the beach.

    We speak fluent English, Dutch and German, basic French and beginner Spanish.
