A perfect week- HIGHLY recommend!
My partner and I spent a week at the home of Fernando and Merche, and had a highly individualized curriculum, a wonderful experience with a warm and welcoming (bilingual) family, and lots of insider tips about the culture and the surrounding countryside. Fernando was a patient and enthusiastic teacher, and met us right where we were with our Spanish level/s. Our room was large and comfortable with an en-suite bathroom; the home cooked meals were plentiful and delicious and included local specialties and paella, and the family could not have been nicer and more natural.
I hope to return with my daughter for another week next year !
And it is a treat beyond measure to be able to see the prehistoric cave paintings and the charming nearby medieval towns

Thank you to you Merche, Victoria and Raquel (and Ukra) for welcoming us to your home and including us in your family life. We loved the delicious food, the warmth of the family and learning about Spain and starting our Spanish language journey.

It was a superb experience. I stayed at Fernando's family home and the whole family was most welcoming. The food was excellent. I had a capacious en-suite room that was very comfortable and faced the warm foehn wind. It could certainly roar in the mornings.
I was very lucky with my fellow guests who were two bright young teachers from the North of England who were kind to include me in their adventurous outings. The house is situated up a fairly steep hill from the village of Aes and about 2.5 km from Puente Viesgo. We were often assisted with transport by Fernando and his charming wife.
A leisurely breakfast was served at 0900 hrs and classes were then held from 1000 hrs to about 1400 hrs when lunch was served. Particular diets were well catered for.
The afternoons/early evenings were free with supper from about 2030 onwards. On occasions there were lively discussions after the meal.
The tuition was very good and I overcame some problems that were impeding my learning of Spanish. We were provided with course notes that were very helpful and I am in no doubt that Fernando is a gifted teacher and the classes were informal.
There are local attractions. Aes has a small supermarket by the roundabout. The main facilities are found in Puente Viesgo including a 4star hotel with the best Spa I have ever visited. The cave paintings are well worth a visit but the caves are very slippery and there are few handholds. We were assured that the churros of Los Terrazos were renowned and they were very good. Everywhere I went people were friendly and helpful.
I want to go again and I think having a car would increase the range of places to visit as public transport is rather infrequent.
A great experience and whole heartedly recommended both for improving one's spanish and experiencing life in a Spanish family albeit one who spoke english well and put one at ease by their informality.
