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 [...]
We had a booking during the course of last week from a man from Madrid, who had stayed with us last year as well.

When commenting that they obviously had no trouble finding us, since they made the trip [...]
