Somos una familia de cinco; nuestros dos hijos mayores, viven independientes, y no siempre viajan con nosotros en los intercambios. Nuestro hijo menor tiene 18 años y estudia en la universidad. Nos encanta viajar y somos limpios, respetuosos y cuidadosos en las casas de intercambio.
Llevamos haciendo intercambios con Homelink desde 2008: Hastings (Inglaterra), Bergen (Noruega), Montreal (Canadá), Nueva York, Barcelona, Kortrijk (Bélgica), Berlín, Shankill (Irlanda), Washington, Malasia y San Francisco han sido maravillosos intercambios con fabulosos miembros de Homelink a los que agradecemos su hospitalidad. Nuestro intercambio planificado a Tel Aviv no pudo realizarse por la pandemia.

We truly enjoyed the central market, authentic paellas and gazpachos and excellent restaurants as well the historic sites and churches. We took time to visit the Albufera, an unspoiled and fascinating section of the surrounding area, and had an interesting tour of the Lladro company. Our hosts directed us to a superb flamenco performance and restaurant, and had a large collection of films for our spare time as well. We'd recommend a stay in Valencia most heartily!

LOOKING FOR AN EXCHANGE AUGUST 2024
Big apartment with lovely patio very close from city center.
Beautiful and comfortable reformed 190m2 flat on a first floor with an elevator and with a big terrace (170m2). It is a fully-equipped flat and it has two complete bathrooms, a toilet, a living, a kitchen with dining room and 4 bedrooms (one queen bed 160x200cm, one bed 140x200cm, and two bed 90x200cm). We have also wireless DSL internet access.
It is very near from the city center (10 minutes walking) and also from the beach. The bus and underground stops are at the same street. We are also very well connected with the airport by underground, only ten stops (19 minutes). And also with the main train station, one stop by underground. It is a friendly neighborhood with shops, restaurants, parks, a sport center, swimming pool... It is also very close from the historical center, the cinemas and theaters.
In Valencia, you can visit museums, the city of arts and science, the Oceanographic (a brand aquarium), the historical city center, the beach, the gardens built on the old river bed that surrounds the city, the "Albufera" (a typical lagoon near the sea)...
You can also travel to Madrid or Barcelona in three or four hours by car or train (to Madrid in 1:40 hours with high-speed train).

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
El barrio de Arrancapins se caracteriza por la vida que hay en él, a la vez que tiene un carácter tranquilo, vecinal, aunque esté situado muy cerca al centro de la ciudad. Dotado de todos los servicios, en esta zona se puede encontrar desde todo tipo de bares para degustar las tapas más típicas a restaurantes que son verdaderas joyas gastronómicas (Restaurante Rausell, que ofrece una de las mejores patatas bravas y arroces de Valencia), o panaderías-pastelerías deliciosas como Raimundo o Miralles (en nuestra misma calle las dos). Además, puedes salir a tomar una copa por sus pubs, ir a una sala de conciertos o a un espectáculo flamenco.
Es un barrio que conserva el encanto de siempre. Tiendas y puestos locales que llevan años y años. Arrancapins es el típico lugar donde la gente se conoce. Pasear, saludar al vecino y estar a un tiro de piedra del centro de Valencia, son las cosas que la gente más valora de vivir en Arrancapins. El barrio está perfectamente comunicado con autobuses y metro con todas las partes de la ciudad y alrededores, incluidos la playa, el puerto o el aeropuerto.

El barrio está lleno de bares, restaurantes, pubs, de gran calidad y para todos los bolsillos.
