We bought some land! 🍃

We searched in lleida.... And searched in tarragona until finally in Girona... 1.3 hectares, 5mins from the town of Santa Coloma de Farners, with trees and terraces formerly used as a vinyard leading down to a little stream that flows in colder seasons.

After almost twenty five years working for a company which totally undervalued him, he was finally free, and with the package he got, and my savings, we decided to buy a house which we could then convert to a holiday home business. Himself started the search while I was working, and the first house we booked a visit for was the one! That was it, we were in love. The location, the house, the vibes, the garden, un beatable.
