Our staff can help arrange Spanish lessons and homestays. We have an organic garden where you can taste some of the greens and fruit we use in our dishes. Want to help out?

Join us for English Cafe on Saturdays at 3:00 pm to practice conversational English, and ask any of our staff about lessons. We also have novels in English and Spanish, so grab a book and a coffee and enjoy!
