I spent a week with Ana and we worked together on some things in the vegetable garden and the orange-orchard. Ana is very friendly and patient. She helped me to rediscover some of my lost Spanish vocabulary. She introduced me to a lot of people in her surroundings and pointed me to some cultural events in Altea. I felt very welcome.
