Go to Europe gratis
What if you were to find a place that lets you stay and eat gratis, and all you have to do is talk?
Check out morethanenglish.com/anglos, where a tempting array of four locales in Spain and one in Italy will cover your expenses for a week. What’s the catch? You are required to be sociable and chatty.
Pueblo Ingles brings together English speakers from all over the world with Spanish business folks in fabulous settings: medieval La Alberca, the first village in Spain to be declared a National Heritage Site; Pals, where the 17th-century manor house (five minutes from the beach) is surrounded by private woods and lush gardens; the village of Valdelavilla with its 12 traditional stone-walled houses and cobbled streets; the mountain-rimmed enclave of Cazorla, which lies in the heart of Andalucia’s olive oil-producing region; and the Umbrian countryside, where cappuccinos flow from sunrise to sunset.
There is no formal teaching, just gabbing, so not only do Spaniards profit from your vocabulary and elocution, but you also get to hang out in rich cultures and make new buddies. Inglés, anyone?
