Welcome to Silvia and Joan's house
Hello, we are a family of 4 members. I am Silvia, I am an architect and work in administration. My husband, Joan, is also an architect and works in education. We have two children, the oldest, Joan, studies philosophy at the University of Girona, he currently doesn't live at home, but comes often, and the youngest, Eric, studies Chemistry at the University of Barcelona. We live in a house with a garden and a pool in the village of La Roca del Vallès, in Barcelona. We are quite homebodies but we really enjoy walking, both in the countryside and in the city. We like board games, gatherings with friends, traveling, especially by car around our surroundings to discover new villages and cities. We love hosting young people in our family, starting from 16 years old, and teaching them about our culture, our gastronomy, and our customs.
If you want to visit the city on your own, it's simple; from near our house, there is a bus stop that takes you to the station where you can catch a train to the center of Barcelona, and we will provide you with the schedules. It's very easy.
If your intention is to visit monuments, museums, and access places that require tickets, such as Parc Güell, La Sagrada Familia, Casa Batlló, or La Pedrera, it is better to have purchased the tickets from home and in advance, as they sell out quickly and it's likely that if you wait until you are here, you won't be able to go.
If you have any doubts, I will be happy to help you.
We can also accommodate young people from the age of 16.
A typical weekend day we get up early, around 8, have a leisurely breakfast with coffee and toast or on some Sundays we eat pancakes, we tidy up the house a bit and take the opportunity to read, go for a walk in the nearby forests, go shopping, or go to the gym. In summer we can go for a swim in the pool and have a snack in the garden. We always eat together whenever we can, just like dinner; these are two activities we always try to do as a family. In the afternoon, if it's hot, we watch a movie, and when it’s not so hot, we can return to outdoor activities. We also play board games, which we really enjoy. Sometimes we meet friends for dinner or go out for drinks. During the week, we all work or study, and in our free time, we do our activities like going to the gym or studying.
