My mother founded a Spanish school in 1997, in Downtown Oaxaca City. The school continued through the next two decades, and, since then, one of our main goals has been to make people feel at home. When the pandemic hit in 2020, we were already being pushed out of the city because of the ever growing gentrification, so we had to close our school. This didn’t stop our love for teaching Spanish and for sharing our culture with people from other countries, so we decided to build a special home for that purpose. The school became a school-house, open to anyone who needs, not only a place to stay, but a personalized and totally immersive program of language and culture.

In our place guests will be able to actually interact and have a cultural exchange with their hosts: a local family integrated by independent women, in a traditional village where they can experience Oaxaca from a non-touristy perspective.
