My family lives outside of the town of Granja in the country, but it is only about a 2 minute drive. The house is a beautiful one story house made out of stone. Most families in Spain wear slippers inside at all times, but my host parents didn’t like that so the heating system in the house actually comes from the floor tiles, and it is powered by solar panels on the roof! So, there is no need for indoor shoes. There is also a garage attached to the house, a separate garage with different equipment, and a small building with a bathroom for the pool, a room with a pool table, and another large room with and fire place and a huge table for parties and family events! They also have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 horses, and a deer! Sounds exactly like my family and my house? This has made adjusting a lot easier for me because in some ways its just like home! On the weekends there are always friends and family over for huge lunches. On top of all of that, my host parents love wine so they built a wine cellar and make their own wine every September. I don’t think I will be suffering living here for the next few months!
