In between nature and the cosmopoly
We are Rosa and Francesc. Our home is located in La Garriga, a nearby modernist town in North Barcelona benefiting from great transport links into central Barcelona - less than 30 minutes to Catalunya Square. The beach, the mountains a a lot of touristic places are also very close.
Our house is fully equiped with everything you may need. We have also a swimming pool, perfect to refresh yourself during the summer. Every room in the house have windows to the garden and the living room is big and full of light.
We have some experience in house exchanges, but this is our first time in intervac. Our daugther (ES581688) and family in law (ES1016573) have been using intervac for a while and have strongly recommend it.

About La Garriga:
La Garriga is a town brimming with heritage and places of interest. You can find prominent archeological sites such as the Roman villa in Can Terrers or a Civil Guard aviation field, as well a variety of architectural features such as medieval castles, churches and chapels from every period, and of course the best examples around of Modernist houses.
However, you can also find a wonderful natural rural environment offering walks and excursions to take you far away from the bustle of the city and find a kind of peace and tranquility hard to come by these days.

About Barcelona:
Few European cities can offer you the wide diversity of cultural experience that you'll find here in Barcelona. Couple that with the luxury of 4.2 km of beach only a short walk from the city Centre, warm sunshine most of the year, you have all the makings of a great holiday in Spain. Barcelona is a city of modern art, has beaches on your doorstep, perfect to enjoy cuisine and home to masterpieces of many great architects such as Antoni Gaudí, whose work is admired by architects around the World.
Some Top activities are wandering up and down the Ramblas, visiting the Sagrada Familia, watching a FC Barcelona football match at the Nou Camp stadium, visiting the Picasso Museum and eating Paella at one of the restaurants in La Barceloneta.
Close to the city:
Close to the city there is Sitges, the Costa Brava, the Costa Daurada, Montserrat, wine tasting, Dali Museum in Figueres and also many different Natural Reserves and areas for trekking and many other sports.

GR054Rosa's and Frances villa at modernistic town La Garriga, in Katalunya...was one of our best exchanging experiences! The house was a luxus standard villa, big one and the pool was important during this summer's temperatures!! The neighbourhood was very interesting from architectural aspect and it was so fresh because of whole town's altitude, 267m !! Rosa and Fransc helped us and offered a traditional welcome dinner, at Catalan restaurant. The train communication with Barcelona and elsewhere,was easy because the train station was just a 5 min walk from home...maybe shorter! We communicated often by SMS messages and when we returned home, we found it as tidy as like nobody lived in it , those 21 days we were away! Thank you dear friends, Rosa and Francesc....you are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!! evdokia +minas gr054

USDC117Rosa and Francesc were always prompt in their replies and were very easy to work with as we made the travel and exchange arrangements. They were a delight when we met them (we traveled to Spain before they traveled to our US home) and were very helpful, making sure we had everything we needed. Their home is lovely and was beautifully kept. They left our house in excellent condition. It was a very positive exchange experience!
