  Description

  We live in a coastal town called Zumaia sited in the Basque Country. In recent years tourism has increased in our town, mainly due to its geologycal treasure “Flysch” and the filming of the series “Games of Thrones”. The Basque Country is a green area where hills and sea join together in short distance. It is a beautiful area, if you browse the internet, you will find thousands of lovely pictures of the area and region. There are two beaches in Zumaia, and it is close to other touristic cities such as Zarautz and San Sebastian.
  
  Joseba (45) works in a technical office and I (Nekane, 42) am a Secondary School teacher. We love doing sports and we both practice the triathlon. We do not have much time left for training after work and girls though.
  
  The twins (11) also enjoy doing sports. After school they go to music and swimming lessons. They are cheerful, active and friendly girls who like trying new and different activities. They also took circus and ballet lessons at other times. But what they most like is meeting their friends.
  
  As we like healthy food, I together with Joseba’s parents cultivate the vegetables we eat in an ecological way in the farm Joseba’s family owns.
