We like travelling around the world, visiting museums, enjoying the nature, walking around the cities, trying typical dishes and tasting wines from the every region. We’d like to share our house and friendship with new people and getting to know other cultures of the world. Each exchange is for us an opportunity to enrich our lives with new friends around the world, so we are becoming socially richer. We believe in the social capital that originates from sharing our belongings and culture with others.

Neighbourhood

Our house is located in the downtown in an area with museums, banks, fines restaurants, bars, pubs, shopping, department stores, train station, marina, highway. It is an ideal location for visiting the many beaches in the environment, towns and cities in the region. Galicia is the region of Spain with most beaches with Blue Flag distinction of EU for the quality of beaches. Vigo and the area there are lots of nice and large beaches. Near the house you can take ships to the famous Cies islands and visit the area of Morrazo (Cangas, Bueu, Moaña). From here you can take the highway or train to visit Santiago of Compostela and its famous cathedral. You can visit too the cities of La Coruña or the north of Portugal (Braga, Porto) and enjoy the famous Porto wines. We recommend a visit to the "Costa da Morte" to visit the spectacular beach of Carnota, Finisterre lighthouse and enjoy the Atlantic seafood.
We will offer a plan of visits in the region and city what you never vill forget.
