At the beginning of last week we welcomed a guest from Switzerland – Beatriz had driven all the way from Geneva to Spain, initially spending time with her parents in Galicia to the north before coming down to visit us at Villa Florencia. Her main reason for visiting this area was because a friend of hers from Switzerland – also born to Spanish parents – was getting married in her parent’s home town near Gandía [...]
More Welcome Guests Return! Early in the year we were pleased to receive a booking from two guests who also stayed with us in 2010 – Frans and Marita, who come from Belgium.

They decided to visit Spain and the Costa Blanca again this year, and wanted to repeat their [...]

They [...]

However, he had been visiting Debbie in England, and they decided to take some time to get to know some of mainland Europe. They collected their hire car in France and travelled down through the countryside before crossing [...]
A feature of the area surrounding Villa Florencia is the plethora of walking routes for the hiker, all carefully signposted with distances and estimated walking times. Beautiful April weather and a visit from my nephew prompted the decision to sample the delights of one of the walking routes ourselves. Turning left out of the driveway, a few steps along the road took us to the country lane that winds through the orchards and past several [...]
