My family really enjoyed their stay in Noja. Juan and Mirabel were very welcoming when we met them in Bilbao although they never had a chance to come to Edinburgh. They gave great information about places to visit in the area. Bilbao and Santander were reachable in an hour. We enjoyed Santilliana del Mar and Castro Urdiales were also very nice. The apartment is well located with a nice pool and tennis court. We used the car for longer journeys but Playa Ris and Plata Trengandín are wonderful beaches and really nearby. There is no WiFi or non Spanish TV for those wet days which Noja had plenty of but a few books were available so that was fine. We wish the family all the best and hope they can exchange again in the future with us.

This has been our first exchange and we think we have been very lucky. Maribel and Juan have been very helpful and respected our home as it was theirs. The Noja apartmente is great to enjoy the beautiful beaches of Cantabria (we think the nearest beaches were the most beautiful in that region).
