Hello! I’m Rafa, born in 1991, industrial engineer by profession, sports lover and passionate about travel, hospitality and my family roots. This blog is my space to share with you the stories that led me to create my tourist accommodation in Buñol, as well as the experiences I have accumulated travelling around Spain, Europe and other corners of the world.
The Origin of a Dream: Houses with History in Buñol
My story begins with a deep love for my roots. A few years ago, I decided to renovate the houses of my grandparents and great-uncles, homes filled with memories and meaning, located in the charming town of Buñol, in the Valencian Community. These houses are not just stones and bricks; they represent the hard work of past generations and my commitment to giving them new life.
The goal was clear: to offer a place where people can enjoy Buñol, its natural surroundings, its unique landscapes, the region, and, of course, the city of Valencia. After much effort and sacrifice, these homes have been transformed into Casa Otilia and Casa Salvador, two tourist accommodations designed to provide the best experience for travelers.
