We live in Spain, in a real paradise-on-earth spot, located half the way between San Lorenzo del Escorial and Valdemorillo, nearby Madrid (40 km.).

Our house is surrounded by a well fenced 40,000 sq. m. piece of land and although we are not that far from civilization, this is still a rather wild area, where we can easily spot wild boars, foxes, rabbits, partridges, eagles, falcons, freshwater turtles in the nearby creeks and even a lonesome lynx. The dogs love to run in total freedom and follow all these very attractive scents and it is really something to see them jump and climb and swim free around here!
