Read More...What a peaceful, wonderful place. The views were so serene and relaxing, and the hiking in the area was the best, both up on the mountain (with incredible views to the lake and valley below) and also hiking along the lake from one village to the next. The location was perfect, and included the best of both worlds, since it was only 1 hour to Madrid, yet located in the mountains. Ester and Fernando were such awesome exchangers. They are the most interesting, helpful, kind and compassionate people. I look forward to their visiting us shortly and hope to maintain a friendship with them.

Our interest in wines was indulged and a great winery trip arranged in La Rioja. The houses were great and it was wonderful to be able to see different parts of Spain and enjoy village life. Ester and Fernando were so kind and hospitable.
