Meet the Hosts (Spanish version)

Unfortunately, we did not have any friends or friends with friends in Spain where we could crash... so we decided to make some new friends...

The la familia Hernandez have been running a small Pension out of their apartment since 1937. They did not speak a word of English, but with the combined talents of Heather´s speed Spanish course and my magical ability to represent words through the power of mime, we actually pulled it off.
It was nothing like a hotel, much more like simply staying over at their place for a few days.
