The Experience
Hello! We are a close-knit family of four living in Lorca, a city in the southeast of Spain, a city with important historical monuments and incredible natural landscapes in its surroundings. We have been receiving guests in our house for three years and we love to add experiences and make them a new member of the family. In our family we are very creative. On the one hand we are passionate about music and play instruments every day.

If you are looking for an incredible home stay experience, you've found it! I was immediately welcomed and made to feel like a part of this wonderfully close knit family. Their home is beautiful and clean, and they showed me kindness, respect, and generosity throughout my stay. I really enjoyed helping Mariló and Juan José with their English as they are both excited to learn and fun to spend time with. We visited local castles and churches and I learned so much about Lorca's incredible history. Also, Maria Dolores's food is amazing! They are an extraordinary family- I will miss them so much!

What an experience! Form the very beginning I felt SUPER welcomed. Everybody tried to always make me feel like a member of the family, and they succeeded for sure! I had to work very few hours and working with Mariló and Juan Jo is been super easy and fun! With this volunteering experience I immersed myself in Spanish amazing culture (castles, beaches, food, music, traditions, art, the language and much more!) and, most importantly, I made lifelong friends. I really couldn't have expected anything better! Ojalá we'll meet in Italy next time 😊♥️
