Description
We are a happy familly of four living in a small village in Catalonia (Spain). It is 40 min away from Barcelona and 20 min from the beach. We are Alex and Avril, and we have two daughters, Alika (9 years old) and Aelis (5 years old)
What we love at most is spending time all together, to go to the beach, to the mountain or any outdoor activity!!!
Spending time around the table and gathering with friends, is a big part of Spanish culture. We also spend a lot of week-ends away, in our hometowns or exploring the nearbys.
We are sure that you will enjoy the stay with us!Types of help and learning opportunities
