House in a little village in Emporda (Girona, Catalonia)
House in l'Empordà, in the north of Catalonia, Spain. It is located in a little village surrounded by sunflowers and cornfields, 30min away by car from Girona or Figueres and 15min by car from the beaches of L'Escala, Sant Marti d'Empuries or l'Estartit...
Because it's our second residence, we're open to non-simultaneous exchanges.
Our cats live in Barcelona.
The house is very spacious and sunny and has wonderful views from all around the house.
The dining room has a big table with 6 chairs and, in the living room, you can find a great big sofa bed and a TV.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms. The master bedroom has a king-sized bed and a balcony, the second one has 2 beds that can become 4 beds, there's one below the other (Brimnes Ikea's bed, if you want to look it up!). The 3rd bedroom includes a sofa bed (king-sized as well).
There's only one bathroom with a shower in the same floor as the bedrooms, but there is another one in the first floor only equipped with a toilet.
Also, there's a washing machine on the first floor and microwave in the kitchen. Unfortunately, we don't own a dishwasher...
There're 5 bikes (all sizes, adult &children), a kayak for 3 and a little skateboard and roller skates.

About Our Family
My name is Cinta, I am divorced and I live with my two children, my daughter Helena who is 18 years old, and Eloi who is 14 years old. I am an engineer by profession and I am dedicated to environmental services.
We believe in the exchange of houses as a way to travel on a budget, and with mutual respect for property.
We all are travel enthusiasts and like to do loads of photos of our trips! Helena loves to post them on Instagram ;) The three of us enjoy travelling all around the world and meeting new cultures!
We love animals, and that's why we extended our family with a cat, and two turtles, which go free through the patio.
