My husband and I spent 2 wonderful weeks at El Cuélebre. Jimena and Alfredo are open, attentive and considerate. We always felt welcome and very well cared for.It's a great way to learn Spanish. My husband's level was very basic and he made a great deal of progress. I was at an intermediate level and feel it really helped consolidate a lot of my previous learning. After our time there we visited Spanish friends and they were truly amazed at the progress Stephen made in 2 weeks.We were thoroughly pleased with the accommodations and food. The spacious room with amazing views of the mountains was very comfortably furnished and has a private bathroom. The room is near the living area but is separated by a small hallway so it is private but not separated from the rest of the house.Jimena is a great cook. We enjoyed everything and she was very willing to accommodate but, really, I was delighted with what she served - yummy and healthy.The location is awesome. All the walks were great and the picnics, in addition to being delicious, were a wonderful time to relax and soak in the beauty. Getting to and from La Peral was no problem with Alfredo picking us up in Léon and dropping us off in Oviedo.Our stay really surpassed expectations. It was a wonderful experience.

We enrolled in Spanish language classes with El Cuelebre, in the village of La Peral, Somiedo, Asturias, Spain. It was an excellent course, with exceptional people, in the most beautiful region of Spain. Alfredo and Jimena made every effort to ensure we were well cared for, and introduced us to language learning in an efficient and meaningful way. The accommodations were spacious and comfortable, and the food delicious. We especially appreciated the time they took to tour and hike the area with us.

Alfredo and. Jimena are experienced teachers and welcoming hosts. Their teaching was insightful and catered to my individual needs as an adult Spanish language learner. Their corrections and guidance were very helpful. The lessons were interesting and I felt comfortable to converse. El Cuelebre is in a lovely home in a mountaintop village. It was peaceful and full of nature all around. The meals were delicious. There was a relaxing balance of private and social times. The hikes were beautiful and chosen according to my interests and the level of difficulty was just right too. It was special to spend time in nature and with Alfredo and Jimena. They are sincere, kind and genuine people. I am so appreciative of the gifts of language, nature and good companionship they gave me.

I feel so lucky that a random web search led me to El Cuelebre. I had been wanting to do a Spanish immersion program for several years now but didn’t want to do a traditional program with outdated teaching methods. Also, because my summer vacation time is short and precious, I wanted to do the immersion in a beautiful place at a pace that felt right for me. El Cuelebre was the answer to all of my hopes.Alfredo and Jimena have built their homestay-Spanish immersion program with a great deal of intention and care. As Jimena told me, since they weren’t just copying someone else’s blueprint, they thought deeply about what they themselves would have wanted in an immersion program if they traveled to another country.El Cuelebre provided a tranquil refuge in the green mountains of Asturias to focus on my Spanish skills. We had conversations over every meal and over hikes in the surrounding hills and mountains. Throughout the day, Alfredo took notes on the grammatical challenges he observed in our conversations, as well as new vocabulary, and then he went in depth into these areas in our more targeted morning and evening classes. It really challenged me having to engage in sustained conversations over multiple hours a day, but it was also super fun to express myself on topics I had never attempted to discuss in Spanish. Both Jimena and Alfredo are brilliant and well read and have lively insights on a huge range of topics. I admire both of them deeply.I left El Cuelebre with a clearer picture of where the gaps are in my Spanish skills, as well as practical ideas for integrating more Spanish exposure into my busy life. More than anything, the experience reinvigorated my commitment to deepening my Spanish skills, not from a place of obligation but because these few days reminded me how fun it is to communicate across language and culture with other interesting human beings!One last thing: the butterflies and wildflowers in this region are absolutely beautiful! I am from Northern California, with access to a lot of beautiful nature, but the pristine butterfly habitats along the hikes in Somiedo were unparalleled! I was astounded by the diversity of butterflies we encountered and even saw several hummingbird moths! What a treat.El Cuelebre is a gem. I hope to return one day and experience its beauty in a different season.

We spent a week at El Cuélebre with the owners/ professors. It was an amazing experience. Up in the mountains. Above the clouds at times. Wild orchids on our mountain walks. Brown bears in the distance. Oh , and I forgot about how great it was to be speaking Spanish through the day. Alfredo and Jimena encouraged me to speak Spanish all the while and that has helped my confidence in conversational situations. Thanks. Would do it again.

It's a real good place for Spanish immersion. Just come and you'll see ! I have learnt a lot from Jimena and Alfredo. Thank you for everything ❤️.

Olemme äskettäin eläköitynyt pariskunta. Vietimme viikon El Cuelebressä opiskellen espanjaa ja nauttien herkullisesta ruoasta, kauniista luonnosta, ulkoilmasta ja hyvästä seurasta. Olemme opiskelleet espanjaa itsenäisesti, ja kaipasimme erityisesti puhumisen harjoittelua. Siihen tarkoitukseen tällainen immersiokurssi on paras mahdollinen tapa. Voimme vilpittömästi suositella Jimenan ja Alfredon opetusta ja opiskelun oheen kuuluvia elämyksiä Asturian vuorilla.

Unir lo útil con lo agradable Mi hija estudiante y yo juntos pasamos dos semanas inolvidables en El Cuelebre. Jimena y Alfredo han inventado la fórmula perfecta para combinar el estudio del español (para mí) con el estudio de la naturaleza (para mi hija), en un entorno cómodo, con una excelente comida y conversaciones estimulantes. El horario tenía un equilibrio perfecto entre tiempo para trabajar, tiempo para caminar y tiempo para descansar. ¡Muy recomendado! Asegúrate de reservar con antelación.

A wonderful week in Somiedo I spent an amazing week with Alfredo and Jimena at the end of June. It was a wonderful experience in every way.
The location is really stunning and the walks that we did in the surrounding area were beautiful. The landscape and wildlife is a wonder to behold. We even saw two bear cubs one day. It was really good to spend a week immersed in the Spanish language, landscape and culture. Jimena and Alfredo are very interesting people, great to spend time with, and having one to one lessons is so helpful. Plus the food was delicious! The accommodation is really comfortable, peaceful and private. I enjoyed having a bit of time to myself every day. Staying in La Peral with Jimena and Alfredo is a great way to improve your Spanish and get to know a beautiful area of Spain.

Great experience in Asturias Jimena and Alfredo are incredibly patient, thoughtful and supportive teachers who made my journey learning Spanish enjoyable and effective.
What made the experience truly unique was that our learning extended beyond the classroom. We took long enjoyable walks together, practicing Spanish in real-life settings while exploring the area.
Thanks to them, I felt more connected to the people and the culture here. I can’t recommend Jimena and Alfredo enough if you want to both learn Spanish and enrich your experience of Asturias and La Peral.

J’ai adoré mon expérience d’immersion à El Cuélebre. En plus d’être d’excellents pédagogues, Alfredo et Jimena sont deux personnes vraiment sympathiques avec qui il a été très agréable d’échanger. Ils sont expérimentés, à l’écoute et tellement patients ! Leur maison est située dans un charmant petit village, La Peral, niché au cœur des montagnes : un site enchanteur ! Le studio réservé aux invités est vraiment mignon, fonctionnel et intime, sans oublier l’incroyable vue sur les montagnes !

Les journées sont bien structurées et permettent un bel équilibre entre apprentissages, échanges et temps libre. Les classes formelles avec Alfredo furent l’occasion de répondre à mes questions et d’approfondir les notions qui en avaient besoin. Je suis repartie avec plusieurs stratégies et outils concrets pour poursuivre mes apprentissages.

Les randonnées et les repas furent des occasions d’échanger dans un contexte naturel et détendu, toujours dans le plaisir et la bonne humeur. Je ne peux passer sous silence les excellents repas et pique-niques préparés par Jimena : je me suis régalée !

Bref, ce séjour fut des plus enrichissants, tant sur le plan linguistique, culturel qu’humain. Il restera longtemps gravé dans ma mémoire. En espérant pouvoir y retourner un jour !

El Cuélebre was everything we we hoped for and more.

Our twice-daily lessons with Alfredo were perfectly tailored to our abilities and goals. My girlfriend and I speak Spanish at different levels (A1 and A2/B1) and he gave us the option of taking the classes together or separately. We chose separately and he tailored two sets of classes to us individually.

Perhaps more important for our learning than even the classes were our conversations in Spanish during the excursions and thrice-daily meals with Alfredo and Jimena. They are both extremely good at talking with Spanish learners: they enunciate clearly (and naturally) and are very good at hearing what novice speakers with thick accents and poor grammar are trying to say. They both speak English fluently and let us choose how much of the conversation we wanted to have in English, for which we chose almost none.

They talked with us about Spanish history and culture, cooking, politics, current events, literature, cars, and many more topics. When the topic's complexity exceeded our vocabularies (which was quite common at our early levels), Alfredo and Jimena were both great at explaining the new words in Spanish or providing the English translation.

The village of La Peral is very small and very out of the way, but it's really easy to get to since they offer pickup/dropoff by car in Leon, Oviedo, or basically anywhere within a 90 minute drive.

El Cuélebre would be worth visiting for Jimena's cooking alone. We spent one week here during a month-long trip eating great food throughout Spain and the best food we experienced in all of Spain was Jimena's. My girlfriend eats pescatarian, which Jimena was able to accommodate with apparent ease.

We visited in mid-April and were treated to a couple inches of snow. With no snow boots, we thought we'd be trapped inside, but a 20 minute drive down either side of the mountain range brought us to an excursion in a completely different climate. I learned more than I expected to about the local nature from Jimena like which one type of local mushroom is safe to eat and how to tell bear droppings apart from those of other animals.

Our accommodation was wonderful. It has incredible views from the windows, a powerful heater for the cold early spring, multiple desks, a television, laptop computer, power adapters (US, UK, USB), and bookshelf full of books in Spanish (including graded readers). The bedroom and bathroom were very private, connected to the main house via a mudroom.

I'm having a hard time coming up with any downsides, disappointments, or areas for improvements. There's a reason El Cuélebre has 66 unanimous 5-star reviews and counting.

Acabo de volver a casa despues de 8 días con Alfredo, Jimena y su perra encantadora (Fa). Disfruté cada minuto, me hicieron sentir muy bienvenida e incluida y creo que he mejorado mi nivel de espanol.

Alfredo y Jimena tienen una casa en una comunidad rural y tranquila en las montañas de Asturias. El dormitorio de invitados es increíble, casi una suite con un área para dormir, otra para sentarse y ver la televisión y un área de estudio, además de un baño privado. La habitación estaba bien calentada y cómoda e incluso tenía vistas increíbles. Jimena cocinó comida española deliciosa y saludable. Tuve algunas clases muy interesantes con Alfredo y después de años de luchar con el subjuntivo, de repente parece tener mas sentido después del curso. Estaba muy feliz de tener tanta conversación en español.

Hicimos algunos paseos por la montaña en paisajes muy bonitos, con vistas espectaculares y en senderos que nunca podría haber encontrado yo sola ..... siempre con un picnic, estilo banquete.

Alfredo y Jimena son personas encantadoras. Nada fue demasiado problema, me hicieron sentir como si estuviera en mi casa y Fa es simplemente una monada. Durante mis últimos días, cayó una nevada intensa, pero Alfredo y Jimena se esforzaron mucho para sacar el coche por debajo de una montaña de nieve y llevarme al aeropuerto para tomar el vuelo de vuelta.

El equilibrio entre clases, conversación y tiempo al aire libre fue perfecto y volvería a El Cuélebre con gusto mañana misma, lo pasé fenomenal allí.

I had two goals for my time at El Cuelebre: to improve my Spanish and to explore the countryside of Asturias. And the week was beyond my wildest hopes. Alfredo and Jimena are not only incredible teachers but also warm, gracious and accommodating hosts. They readily adapted the daily activities and language instruction to my desires and abilities. I felt immediately at home in their beautiful house and the private bedroom with full bath was large and comfortable.
The week, which absolutely flew by, was full of delicious meals and interesting conversations at mealtime as well as during our incredible daily outings. The mountains and valleys of Asturias make for the most beautiful classroom for learning Spanish imaginable. This combination of learning Spanish while exploring the landscapes of Somiedo is a truly unique, unforgettable experience. My time with Alfredo and Jimena took my Spanish to a higher level and I cannot wait to spend more time with them.

I spent 2 weeks this month with Jimena, Alfredo, and Fa at their Spanish immersion school in the mountains of Asturias. I agree 💯 with all other posters about the amazing food, well-planned lessons, fun & challenging hikes, overall comfort, and unparalleled beauty. Alfredo & Jimena offer a unique experience catered to your interests, language & fitness levels. It’s very easy to live and learn at El Cuélebre.

Ho trascorso la prima settimana di agosto al Cuélebre dove ho trovato quello che cercavo: la possibilità di ascoltare ed esprimermi nella lingua spagnola ma lontana dal turismo di massa, dal caos e i rumori tipici delle città.
Chi ama il paesaggio montano e il silenzio troverà a la Peral il luogo ideale per migliorare la lingua spagnola e al contempo sfuggire allo stress.

Alfredo e Jimena sono persone piacevoli e disponibili. Oltre alle chiacchiere e alle escursioni che sono state adattate alle mie possibilità fisiche ( ridotte per un dolore al ginocchio), alle lezioni strutturate secondo il mio livello e interesse per la lingua, abbiamo condiviso piacevolmente colazioni, pranzi e cene.

Ho letto le recensioni di qualche altro "studente" e non posso che condividere tutti gli aspetti positivi elencati.

Ho già elogiato le ottime doti culinarie di Jimena che per i buongustai rendono la settimana di studio anche una gioia per il palato e l'olfatto.

Grazie Alfredo, grazie Jimena, è stato bello!

Una Experiencia Maravillosa “It’s as if this two-week stay were designed just for us.” This was my husband’s remark when we realized we had embarked on days of stimulating study, fabulous food, and hikes in the stunning mountains of Somiedo National Park. El Cuelebre is the creation of Alfredo and Jimena, two bright, interesting, and kind teacher/hosts. We spoke only Spanish during the two weeks and, thanks to the skill of our hosts, we laughed a lot and grew in confidence, enjoying far-ranging conversations about culture, history, politics, food and—have I missed anything?—the process of language learning.

Jimena prepared consistently tasty and healthy meals, leaving us feeling quite pampered. We departed with some prize recipes. During the two weeks, we explored mountain walking paths and were treated to outings to nearby points of interest. Accommodations were comfortable and roomy, and you can’t beat the beautiful views from the windows. I struggle to convey our pleasure at having discovered El Cuelebre and spending such a fine two weeks.

Simply the best Spanish immersion course It was an absolutely amazing experience. I did not know what to expect but everything was superb, the house, my apartment, Jimena´s cooking Alfredo´s lessons I cannot praise them more.
The walks in the mountains the whole immersive Spanish experience has helped me understand where I need to be focusing my attention in my Spanish learning curve.
Jimena´s and Alfredo´s hospitaility is is on a different level to anything I have experienced.
I would recommend El Cuélebre to anyone wanting to improve thier spanish and to spend time in a very special place.
Thank you so much
Robert

A fantastic week learning Spanish, in the Mountains of Somiedo Natural Park Going to stay with Alfredo and Jimena was just so stimulating from a language point of view - my mum and I did the course together, and it moved our learning up to the next level. The best thing about the course is the mixture of informal learning, for example on the beautiful mountain hikes we went on daily, and the formal learning in lessons - for just an hour in the morning and evening each day. Both Alfredo and Jimena make a big effort to notice common mistakes we were making and new words we needed to use to express ourselves properly. All of this is followed up as part of our lessons. They are are brilliant hosts. I especially appreciated Jimena's fantastic cooking and packed lunches, and Alfredo's easy relaxed way of making conversation.

Learning a well language requires complete immersion. And that's exactly what is offered with Alfredo and Jimena at their small school located in La Peral, Somiedo. Every day is filled with classes, from breakfast conversations to talking about the scenery on a hike. The learning experience is tailor-made to your level, and Alfredo and Jimena make sure to integrate your learnings into the conversations so you improve and iron out all your mistakes.

Next to learning the language, staying at El Cuélebre is a fantastic experience. Set in the beautiful Somiedo Natural Park, the school has incredible views over the mountains. Every day there's delicious homemade meals to enjoy and there are many hiking excursions to do in the area.

For anyone wanting to improve their Spanish, I can highly recommend El Cuélebre. Alfredo and Jimena are not just Spanish teachers, but wonderful hosts, language experts, and great people to spend time with in the mountains.

I am so filled with emotions as I reflect on my one week with Jimena and Alfredo in the Cuélebre Spanish course. It has been 2 days since I finished my course and I already miss everything about it very much. Jimena and Alfredo are truly wonderful, caring, interesting, lovely people. They have structured the course in a really fun, stimulating, effective and yet relaxing way. They are both genuinely interested in people, in different cultures, in learning about each person as an individual and this makes for engaging conversations and lots of learning. The food that Jimena makes is healthy, incredibly tasty and reflective of Spanish cuisine and she does it with obvious pleasure and love. The hikes are through breath-taking landscapes and were tailored to my level of physical activity.
Their house is cozy, comfortable and beautiful. And the room designated for the students is totally private, comfortable for sleeping, lounging, studying and has amazing views of the hills.
I have had many Spanish immersion experiences both in Spain and in Latin America and I can say, 100%, without any doubt that my one week stay in El Cuélebre improved my level of Spanish far more than any other immersion I had done in the past, while also learning so much more about food, cooking, culture, geography, philosophy, history and all that naturally came up in our conversations. And above all, I can say that I now carry in my heart two dear friendships that I cherish very much. I can't wait to go back.

The platonic ideal of a language-learning experience I have only the nicest things to say about el Cuélebre - Alfredo and Jimena are excellent teachers and wonderful hosts. They adapted easily to my level and proposed interesting materials and activities. It is hard to overstate what a luxury it was to have such a bespoke experience and such constant, individual attention. On top of that, the location and surrounding area are beautiful, and I ate very well! This is something I will remember for a long time.

Las vacaciones con El Cuelebre fueron unas maravillosas vacaciones lingüísticas con español, en un entorno natural y paisajístico precioso, salidas a la montaña con unas vistas indescriptibles, comida deliciosa y, sobre todo, en la gran compañía de Jimena y Alfred, profesores de español.
Jimena y Alfredo me dieron una inmersión total en el español y la cultura del país y la región. También fueron unos anfitriones encantadores. Mi objetivo era activar mi español. Jimena y Alfredo fueron muy prácticos en esta tarea. Se podría decir que el curso fue continuo, porque hablábamos todo el tiempo durante viajes, comidas, etc. de todos los temas que nos interesaban, y dos veces al día en la parte más formal del curso volvíamos al vocabulario que aparecía. durante las conversaciones, o a cuestiones gramaticales o relacionadas con España.
Todo esto fue, por supuesto, muy intenso, pero también tiempo para el descanso individual en su propia parte de la casa, en el jardín o para pasear por la zona.
Estoy 100% satisfecho y puedo recomendar este curso a todos los que estén interesados ​​en combinar un curso de español con caminar por la montaña y conocer la hermosa Asturias. Miguel.

We were so thoroughly delighted with our visit. Alfredo and Jimena were the ultimate hosts. The classes were fun and we were surprised at how much we were able to learn. The hikes were unparalleled for the scenery. What a beautiful place. We saw a number of wild animals from a distance and we won’t forget the beautiful mountain lakes. This place is truly magical. We looked forward to every meal because Jimena is a gifted cook and took great pride in what she prepared. We want to return!!

Could not be bettered!! There are already many amazing reviews for this couple and the wonderful learning experience that they are providing in this beautiful part of Spain. They are all true!! If you love learning Spanish then the opportunity to immerse yourself in a non-threatening listening and speaking environment could not be bettered. The astonishing variety and quality of food provided was a shared environment for conversation. The daily walks through beautiful mountains and country lanes was another shared environment for conversation. The formal lessons all related directly to the conversations of the day, so they focused on our individual needs, which would work whatever your level in Spanish. The accommodation is extraordinarily comfortable and well-equipped. Despite the many hours of immersion in Spanish each day, there was also time each afternoon to either rest, study or explore the small village further. The timing of activities each day worked perfectly. The seclusion of this tiny village in the mountains removes other possible distractions so that you can focus on sharpening your language skills in order to take on with confidence the cities and beautiful smaller towns all over this amazing country. Alfredo and Jimena were a delight to spend time with, and their gift to us was to open the door to the people and culture of Spain.

Aprender el español en el medio de ningún sitio Para mí, la experiencia entera del curso de inmersión de ochos días en La Peral fue maravillosa. Por eso, les doy cinco estrellas a Jimena y Alfredo, quienes son profesores, anfitriones y guías muy competentes y agradables.

Me encantaron las excursiones de senderismo de cada día, caminando por las montañas y los valles de la región local. Los paisajes y las vistas eran espectaculares y muy diversas. Durante las caminatas, Alfredo me enseñó mucho sobre el modo de vida de esta comunidad muy rural, ahora y en épocas anteriores. Me enteré también de la flora y la fauna silvestres y domésticas, y de las alegrías y los retos de sobrevivir económicamente en este lugar muy remoto, único e increíblemente hermoso. Tuve suerte de visitar La Peral en abril cuando había flores numerosas de primavera en todas partes y las hojas de color verde claro de los árboles caducos comenzaban a aparecer. Al principio de la semana había nieve y aguanieve, pero algunos días más tarde pudimos almorzar afuera bajo un cielo azul claro.

Las clases más formales en el aula me ofrecieron la oportunidad de consolidar nuevo vocabulario y mejorar mi conocimiento gramatical. Las lecciones fueron siempre divertidas y Alfredo me dio muchas ideas y materiales, y además unos consejos para seguir aprendiendo más allá del curso.

Me gustaron mucho las comodidades del hogar. Las comidas de Jimena fueron muy sabrosas y también saludables. Mi habitación tenía un ambiente cálido y cómodo. Cuando necesitaba un descanso después de hablar español durante mucho tiempo, Fa, una perra buenísima, era la compañera perfecta.

Gracias a Jimena y a Alfredo por animarme a seguir estudiando el español con el entusiasmo renovado y la motivación más fuerte.

I recently spent 10 days at El Cuélebre and it was an incredible experience. The setting was beautiful and peaceful, nestled in the heart of the natural park. I was there in mid-October and was lucky enough to experience a bit of snow, which added to the magic of the setting. The beautiful walks in the park were a highlight of the trip, and it was a great way to get some exercise and open my mind while learning a new language.

The course itself was challenging but extremely rewarding, thanks in part to the amazing instructors, Jimena and Alfredo. Jimena in addition to being a great teacher was a fantastic cook who always had delicious meals prepared. Alfredo was a patient and knowledgeable Spanish teacher, they both made the learning experience enjoyable and engaging.

In addition to the language lessons, there were excursions to learn about the local culture, flora and fauna. Another added bonus was their dog Fa who joined us on most of the outings. The walks were easy and enjoyable with epic view to enjoy at every turn.

If you're wondering what the accommodation is like... I couldn't fault it. The room was spacious and warm for the Winter weather with windows overlooking the mountains.

Personally the experience was really helpful for me as it gave me a tonne of conversation practice. It also highlighting specific areas that I needed to work on, holes in my learning that I didn't notice before. One of the things that I really appreciated about the course was the one-on-one instruction. I sometimes struggle in group learning environments, so this learning method was really good for me.

TLDR: fantastic experience, 100% recommend, great way to learn Spanish in a spectacular natural park.

This is a truly unique and very special experience, which is unlike any other Spanish course. You are completely immersed in the Spanish language with constant Spanish conversation. Both Jimena and Alfredo are excellent and extremely experienced teachers, who clearly enjoy sharing their passion for the language.

The setting in the mountains of Northern Spain, is spectacular and the accommodation is extremely comfortable, quiet and clean. You have your own private suite which includes a spacious bedroom with beautiful views as well as an en suite bathroom. The food is absolutely delicious and all freshly prepared by Jimena.

Jimena and Alfredo took me on some wonderful hikes and I was also able to spend one full day in Oviedo with Alfredo, exploring the city as well as the surrounding countryside. I highly recommend this course and look forward to returning in the future.

Siendo una verdadera amante de España y su cultura, pensé que no era posible estar aún más enamorada. Y sin embargo, lo fue, gracias a esta maravillosa estancia con Jimena y Alfredo.

Me sumergí en la vida española durante una semana. Las excursiones fueron estupendas. Asturias es simplemente irresistible. Esta región está llena de lugares hermosos.

La escuela es un lugar dónde te sientes bien. La habitación es perfecta: te sientes como en casa.

También, la calidad de las clases es notable.

Jimena y Alfredo tienen un gran conocimiento y son extremadamente humanos. Es un verdadero placer hablar y compartir momentos con ellos : durante las excursiones, los viajes en coche o las comidas.

De hecho, los momentos de las comidas fueron especialmente interesantes. La calidad de la cocina de Jimena es simplemente perfecta y la tortilla de Alfredo también 😊

Jimena y Alfredo (sin olvidar a Fa 😊), muchas gracias por esta inolvidable semana que ha sido sin duda, la mejor experiencia de mi vida. Habéis hecho realidad un sueño para mí.

Volveré muy pronto.

¡GRACIAS!

I spent a week at El Cuelebre in early April - an excellent course in stunning surroundings.
Alfredo and Jimena’s house is in a lovely location and the annex, where I stayed, is cosy and comfortable with beautiful views.
I spent each day, apart from a 3 hour break in the late afternoon, with them - eating meals together, going on walks in the lovely countryside plus two classroom based lessons. We chatted in Spanish all the time. It is a much more ‘natural’ and ‘comfortable’ way of learning and improving Spanish than spending hours sitting in a classroom going over grammar exercises.
We talked about an enormous variety of topics as Jimena and Alfredo have a wide variety of knowledge and interests ranging from the natural world to current politics. I felt that I was with two friends rather than two teachers.
The walks were varied and ‘tailored’ to my level of fitness. Really good. We also had some ‘cultural’ visits, including to Avilés and an Ecomuseum.
The food was very tasty and healthy. The water, straight from the mountains, tastes divine!
As teachers, Jimena and Alfredo are very supportive, sympathetic and professional.
They have sent me links and advice for my future learning in Spanish and I left their house feeling inspired and keen to progress.

One of the most wonderful memories of my life. Even though this school looked great online when I booked a two-week visit, I wasn't entirely sure what to expect since I did not know anyone who had spent time there, and websites and reviews can be somewhat more rosy than the reality.

Well, El Cuélebre far surpassed all of my expectations! It was a really stunning experience for me in so many ways.

The hikes were so fun, and these would simply not have been possible if I had been on my own. Jimena and Alfredo know the unmarked routes after spending years in these mountains. And when a foot of snow dumped on us halfway through my stay, we strapped on snowshoes and took walks anyway!

Their house is very cozy. I felt comfortable throughout my stay in my clean, separate living space with a private bathroom.

As others have said in their reviews, the food that Jimena prepares is remarkable. Meal times were enjoyable and relaxed, and gave us plenty of chances to connect, and for me to practice my conversation skills.

My goals at the school were to improve my conversational fluency, and this school is an ideal place to do that. I was able to spend something like 10-12 hours a day speaking Spanish. Jimena and Alfredo were good about giving me corrections, especially when they could point out patterns in my errors, but they were not stopping me every other word to suggest alternatives. This gave my brain the chance to keep forming phrases and whole sentences, but also to improve and commit fewer errors over time.

I appreciated that they also wanted me to have the chance to see something beyond the mountains, and so Alfredo took me one day to visit some towns and spots along the coast. Avilés was so lovely.

Jimena and Alfredo are just really nice people. They are interested and interesting at the same time. They are looking to connect and know about you and your culture, and to also share what they can about theirs. I am so grateful to them for their kind and generous spirits.

If you enjoy the outdoors and want to immerse yourself not only in Spanish language but to learn a great deal about Spanish culture, I cannot recommend a place more highly than El Cuélebre. My time with Jimena and Alfredo will be one of the most wonderful memories of my life.

Amazing experience For both my husband and me this was an amazing experience. The spectacular setting, the effective teaching, the comfortable lodging, all would have been enough to merit 5 stars, but what truly set this as special was the opportunity to delve into Spanish culture, politics, food, etc., through the lives of two warm and engaging people, Jimena and Alfredo.

First, the setting. The house of Jimena and Alfredo is in a rustic village high in the mountains of Somiedo. From the windows of our comfortable room we woke every morning to the spectacular site of the craggy mountains. Over the course of 10 days we took daily hikes that wandered throughout the area, after each hike we thought the next day couldn’t possibly be more special, but it was. On one day we expressed interest in seeing the coast, so Jimena and Alfredo drove us on a tour of parks and towns along the ocean: we hiked on beaches, along rugged, rocky trails, had great food in a small town. Speaking of food, the fare that Jimena prepared every day was delicious and -- like everything in their course -- personalized to our preferences.

Second, the teaching. Alfredo and Jimena have perfected an effective method of teaching that takes advantage of the immersive environment. While hiking during the day, Alfredo would keep note of topics we’d discussed, words/expressions/concepts we used and misused, and in the class at day’s end would incorporate all of this in his lessons. Also worth noting that we are both at vastly different levels of fluency, yet we both learned so much: Alfredo is one of the best Spanish teachers I’ve had, the first, for example, to explain certain arcane aspects of Spanish grammar that I’ve struggled years to understand.

Finally, the experience itself of living for 10 days with two warm, engaging, smart Spaniards. We’re frequent travelers, but it’s rare to be able to interact with the “locals” beyond daily pleasantries and commercial transactions. El Cuélebre is special because it gave us a window into Spanish life and perspective. Our daily conversations ranged from recipes to family life to politics and history, while hiking in gorgeous mountain settings or sitting at the table eating Jimena’s delicious meals (and perhaps the best bread in Spain). We highly, highly recommend El Cuélebre not only to improve your Spanish, but also to enrich your experience as a traveler.

Una semana de español y caminata Mi semana en Somiedo fue gratificante de muchas maneras. Otros han comentado mi mejora en español desde el curso. Jimena y Alfredo dieron prioridad a la fluidez y expresión práctica a través de conversaciones a la mesa y caminando; en clase asimismo. Me alegró la inclusión de temas culturales como la prensa y canciones famosas.
En cuanto al plano turístico, el lugar está majestuoso, rodeado por picos de casi 2,000 metros, perfecto para paseos diarios. La cocina casera era deliciosa, a veces platos famosos como gazpacho, a veces otros menos conocidos fuera de España. Me encantaron el pan de Jimena y las setas recogidas durante nuestros paseos.
Jimena y Alfredo me hicieron muy bienvenido. El horario fue bien repartido. Hicimos clases, comida y paseos juntos. Mientras tuve unas horas solo cada día para relajar, leer, etc. (¡incluido para revisar español, por supuesto!)

A privileged immersion experience that feels like a vacation Do you wish that you had cool Spanish friends (who just so happen to be dedicated language teaching professionals), who would help you learn Spanish?
And put you up in a cozy, fully equipped apartment in the beautiful mountains?
And cook delicious food for you?
And take you on breathtaking hikes, while telling you all about the local nature and history?

Well, it's your lucky day.

Far more than a Spanish school, El Cuélebre blends full language immersion with day-to-day culture and scenic mountain life, treating clients to a kind of experience one could normally only have through personal connections.

It's a very special concept and place. Do yourself a favor, and go.

Not only a great way to improve my Spanish but also a memorable, highly enjoyable experience in its own right. I recently spent a week with Alfredo and Jimena at El Cuelebre. It was a wonderful time of immersion in a beautiful, peaceful mountain world and a lovely household where I was surrounded by Spanish from morning until night. I enjoyed the company of Alfredo and Jimena very much; there were always plenty of stimulating conversation, which was very motivating for improving my Spanish, as I was desperate to join in but didn't always have adequate vocabulary or fluency; I certainly improved both of them a great deal during the week.

Our daily hikes were fabulous and included a large variety of different landscapes, as well as a fascinating traditional village and interesting agricultural buildings and structures. My room, which was huge, was comfortable and attractive, with superb, mountain views from the windows, and well-equipped. The home-cooked food was excellent. Alfredo and Jimena are clearly experienced at tailoring any aspect of what they offer to the individual needs of their students. So I can summarise by saying that this was not only a great way to improve my Spanish but also a memorable, highly enjoyable experience in its own right.

Desde Estonia a Asturias Estuve con Alfredo y Jimena en un curso de español durante una semana en julio. La calidad de la enseñanza es muy buena, está sintonizada con el nivel actual, Alfredo y Jimena señalan detalles prácticos que hacen que hablar sea mucho más fácil. La ubicación es muy bonita - en la parte sur de las montañas de Asturias, no hace calor y la naturaleza es maravillosa. Cada día incluye una caminata por el campo, a veces un paseo fácil de un par de horas, a veces un paseo de medio día por las montañas, con maravillosas vistas. La vida con Alfedo y Jimena es toda en español, por lo que las habilidades lingüísticas prácticas se desarrollan rápidamente. La comida, que se sirve y se puede compartir, es muy buena. De todos modos, ¡recomendar!

J’ai passé à « El Cuélebre » un séjour formidable ! J’ai passé à « El Cuélebre » un séjour formidable ! Jimena et Alfredo ont beaucoup d’expérience, tout est bien « rodé », ils ont le souci du détail et ils s’adaptent parfaitement aux personnes et aux circonstances.
Le site est magnifique, la chambre grande, fonctionnelle et très accueillante, la cuisine de Jimena et la « tortilla de patatas » d’Alfredo excellentes !
J'ai même eu la chance de voir un ours et de pouvoir l’observer avec les jumelles.
Jimena et Alfredo sont passionnés par la nature et la région des Asturies, ils sont très sympathiques et très intéressants, et nous avons eu de très nombreuses conversations sur des sujets très variés.
J’ai bien l’intention d’y retourner, à une autre saison peut-être, pour voir cette magnifique région sous un autre jour ...

Vollkommen zu Recht erhalten Jimena und Alfredo beste Bewertungen Vollkommen zu Recht erhalten Jimena und Alfredo beste Bewertungen. Das ausgezeichnete Essen, der maßgeschneiderte Unterricht, die Exkursionen, das individuelle Apartment mit Bergblick in 3 Richtungen und der malerische Ort La Peral wurden schon mehrfach korrekt beschrieben. Besonders beeindruckt war ich vom umfangreichen Wissen der beiden Gastgeber in allen nur vorstellbaren Bereichen. Dadurch besteht eine breite Basis für die Konversation auf spanisch, entsprechend den individuellen Interessen des Schülers oder besser des Gastes. Unter den Vorzeichen der Corona-Pandemie (während meines Aufenthalts wurde ganz Festlandspanien zum Risikogebiet erklärt) haben J+A ein Konzept entwickelt, das hohe Sicherheit und beste Voraussetzungen für die Immersion verknüpft. Das beginnt beim Hol- und Bring-Service am Flughafen oder Bahnhof und setzt sich fort bis zu den Hygiene-Maßnahmen im Haus. Da ich die umliegenden Städte schon früher besucht hatte, verzichtete ich gerne auf Besichtigungen und habe die täglichen Wanderungen genossen und dabei sogar einmal das laut Jimena seltene Glück gehabt, einen Bären mit bloßem Auge durchs Gelände laufen zu sehen - vermutlich auf der Flucht vor der kleinen Hündin Fa. Man kann Bären üblicherweise wohl nur mit guten Objektiven aus großer Distanz beobachten. Der Aufenthalt von gut einer Woche hat vollkommen meinen Erwartungen entsprochen.

The formula offered at El Cuélebre is unique. La Peral is a hamlet built around a small cluster of houses in Somiedo national park in the Asturias region of northern Spain. The hamlet is surrounded by mountains, which are reminiscent of the fells in the Lake District in England. The climate is that of the mountains and in the summer, swirling, early morning mists give way to glorious sun. The accommodation offered at El Cuélebre is a spacious, comfortable room with extensive views onto the surrounding mountains and a private ensuite shower. All meals are provided and the food is excellent home cooking, down to the bread, cake and yogourt on offer for the copious breakfast. Guests share the home of hosts, Jimena and Alfredo, who provide everything guests may need. The hosts have lived in other countries and after many years of welcoming people from all over the world, are finely tuned to accommodating the requirements of their visitors. The area offers an infinite range of excursions on which guests are accompanied and hikes are adapted to suit the fitness level of walkers. Alternatives to hiking are offered, such as cultural outings and trips to the coast. There is little tourism in the area and the only language heard and spoken is Spanish, so the experience of staying in El Cuélebre is one of true immersion in a Spanish-speaking area and household. Alfredo and Jimena have many years of teaching Spanish to speakers of other languages and as keen language learners themselves, have considerable insight into the challenges and sometimes the frustrations that are part of learning a language. For anyone looking for an opportunity to practise speaking Spanish extensively, as well as to discover a truly stunning part of northern Spain, the formula offered at El Cuélebre is unique.

The Best Travel Experience and the Best Way to Learn Spanish Most people know that the best way to learn a language is through immersion. But the idea of immersion can be intimidating – or it certainly was to me. Well, how about immersion tailored to your specific needs and desires, with all the comforts of life, coziness, delectable food, magnificent scenery, and warm, friendly, and knowledgeable hosts? That’s what I had the good fortune to experience at El Cuelebre Spanish school in La Peral, Somiedo Natural Park, Asturias.

I decided to take a week “off” and study at El Cuelebre. Little did I know that I would not only have customized Spanish classes but that I would be spoiled in so many ways. Jimena and Alfredo, owners, teachers, guides, and chef extraordinaire went above and beyond any expectations.

As for language learning, know that Jimena and Alfredo are professionally trained and experienced teachers who have traveled widely and learned a variety of foreign languages themselves. As a result, they're well-acquainted with the needs and challenges of learning a foreign language. They're also very flexible in quickly understanding an individual's difficulties and can customize accordingly. Learning languages is not one of my talents, and I'm insecure about that, but both of them were amazing in making me feel comfortable and encouraging me. We did two formal classroom sessions per day. I initially wondered if that would really be enough, but we covered a lot of ground in each session. For me, the "breaks" consisted of independent study time, walks with my hosts (and their adorable dog) in the surrounding mountains and charming villages, siestas ????, and meals together.

Both Jimena and Alfredo are so generous in sharing their deep and broad knowledge of the area, the history, customs, culture and the flora and fauna and their passion for all the above. I have an interest in politics and both Jimena and Alfredo were very kind and patient to indulge me and answer my many questions. I believe it was through our more casual/informal interactions that I was able to improve my comprehension along with developing a great love and respect for the country and people. I was there off-season, so our outside activities were somewhat dictated by the weather. For me, the "downtime" was perfect to allow me to absorb all the learning in addition to providing me with a calm that I was in desperate need of. I look forward to returning during spring/summer seasons when we’ll seek out other opportunities to visit more historic sites and attractions. Of note: Jimena previously worked for a conservation non-profit and is a font of knowledge on the area flora and fauna. I discovered rather late in the week that she has an enthusiasm and knowledge of butterflies. That alone is reason enough for me to return, IMO.

The accommodation is in Jimena and Alfredo's own charming home, but in a separate area with its own entrance, en-suite bathroom, and (if you go off-season as I did) heating system. The room is spotless, spacious, yet cozy. It is large enough to accommodate not only a sleeping area, but there's a bank of closets, a table with laptop along one window looking out over the mountains, a sitting area with a flat-screen tv, and plenty of space (if you're like me) to do yoga and stretching in the morning. It's well-equipped with all necessary+ amenities, e.g., good Wi-Fi, hairdryer, shampoo and soap, towels, in-room electric kettle for coffee and tea. Basically, if you wanted to you could go with your clothing and cellphone (oh and hiking shoes, of course). There's also an additional sleeping loft. I went on my own, but there's more than enough space for a couple or even 2-3 good friends.

Last, but certainly not least, is the cuisine. Jimena prepared some of the most scrumptious meals I've had -- and I'm a well-traveled food enthusiast! Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all-inclusive, and I dined on paella, fabada, stuffed trout, and tortillas to name just a few. She used only the freshest of ingredients and was very mindful of food sensitivities and dietary requirements. Thank goodness for the opportunity for walks, otherwise, I would've surely gained a lot of weight!

To ensure that the learning wouldn't stop with the classes, Alfredo was generous in providing online links to other resources and YouTube videos, as well as suggested leisure reading books for my level. I'm currently enjoying reading some fun mysteries in Spanish.

If I've left you with any question, let me just say that my time with Jimena and Alfredo was educational, informative, delightful, delicious, head-clearing, relaxing, and inspiring. I arrived there a nervous, stressed out novice student and left there calm, energized, more confident, feeling like a princess, with a little bit of sadness to leave friends behind. I look forward to my next stay at El Cuelebre!

The Best way to Learn Spanish by emerging your self all day long Just got back from a fabulous week with Alfredo y Jimena. Initially thought 2 hours a day formal sessions was not enough but by joining them for meals and going out walking was enough to begin to refresh my previously learnt Spanish. It was really useful to use Lola Lago reading aids to create a conversation. I already could understand a lot of Spanish but my problem was speaking it and getting it right. Being corrected all the time really helps. We went out everyday could not go far as it had snowed but loved it.
We ate vegetarian food most of the time and it was lovely, especially the gazpacho
the home made hummus, guacamole and the pizza. (estupendo).
Jimena is a fabulous cook and really made an effort to provide food that we enjoyed. Although she did not provide our lessons I spent along time speaking with her, and her accent is very clear and she is very patient in listening then helping us to speak in the correct way. She gave time to listen to me which really helped.
We would go back there again for a shorter period to keep the momentum going of learning Spanish. I have dyslexia but found it very easy to listen to Jimena more easier than Alfredo.
The wifi in the bedroom both of us had difficulty with the signal, which is better in the lounge. Also would be nice to have more pillows in the beds but room was lovely, cozy and with fabulous views

And of course Loved Fa

thank you to Jimena and Alfredo and Fa

Nous venons de passer une semaine à la Peral de Somiedo.
L'environnement est magnifique et la chambre où nous logions est confortable et trés agréable,avec une vue superbe.
Notre séjourne fut pas seulement un semaine de vacances mais un enrichissement culturel et linguistique constant. L'immersion n'est pas un vain mot: repas (exc1ellents) pris ensemble; belles excursions mais aussi cours très enrichissants.
Nous avons énormément appris et avons des outils pour progresser au retour.
Une semaine formidable à tous points de vue.
Bernard et Odile

My week with Jimena and Alfredo was absolutely unforgettable. The natural beauty of the area served as a springboard for my Spanish learning. During my time with these wonderful teachers my life indeed was in Spanish—whether hiking in the mountains, enjoying a delicious meal around the table, or reading and writing during the course.

Alfredo makes it easy to arrive at the school by picking you up at the airport or train station . Once at El Cuélebre, you have a beautiful room with private access, a full bath, and all the amenities typical of a thoughtful host. Meals are superb, and the balance between instructional and private time is perfect. My field trip to the Atlantic Coast provided yet another opportunity to indulge in beautiful vistas, Asturian gastronomy and be part of daily life in rural Spain.

My week at El Cuélebre far exceeded my expectations on every level.

Epoustouflant Un séjour à El Cuélebre est une pleine réussite sur tous les plans. Le site est magique, même en hiver ,isolé, reposant. Les randonnées sont magnifiques, adaptées à chacun. Le logement agréable, poétique même. La cuisine délicieuse, l'ambiance familiale et chaleureuse. Alfredo et Jimena sont deux pédagogues hors pairs, de savants linguistes très cultivés, à la conversation passionnante. La salle de cours est bien équipée, l'attention des professeurs est constante, et les progrès rapides sont garantis.
Ce furent mes meilleures vacances. J'y retournerai en février 2020, cette fois dans leur maison d'hiver à Tenerife, et en attendant , je continue à prendre des leçons par Skype avec Jimena, car je ne peux plus me passer d'elle.

El tiempo pasado en El Cuélebre fue simplemente fenomenal! La atencion de Alfredo y Jimena es permanente. Fue mimada!
Aprendi tantas cosas de la lengua actual y de la historia de Espana (y otros paises) y de Asturia y leon, que ahora no puedo sonar en frances, sino en espanol.
El lugar maravilloso, salvaje y muy lejos del turismo habitual, es un paraiso para los enamorados de naturaleza y quietud.
Ademas, el hogar de Alfredo y Jimena es muy confortable y la habitacion que tenia no faltaba de nada, con un cuarto de bano privado, un armario, una television, internet y una vista maravillosa sobre el monte.
Los cursos de Alfredo son muy intensivos y ligeros y divertidos, por medio de poesia, canciones, articulos de prensa..Aprendi mucho.
Ademas, la cocina es deliciosa y local.
Lo que me gusto mas que todo fue la posibilidad de hablar espanol todo el dia en conversaciones sobre temas a veces muy profundos y varios, sin darme cuento que lo hiciste. Eso, con la ayuda frecuente y dicreta de los dos.
Que paciencia tienen!
En una frase..... quiero regresar!

What a delightful couple! Jimena and Alfredo are two well-experienced Spanish teachers, sensitive and attentive to your particular needs in learning their language - with least effort. They welcome you into their home into a spacious room with en-suite shower room with magnificent views over the mountains. Spanish is taught through formal lessons and entertaining conversations at meal times and during the daily outings. The meals are delicious and typically Spanish. They live in a beautiful, unspoilt part of Asturias, in the Somiedo Nature Reserve, and are extremely generous with their time and availability in sharing their knowledge of the flora, fauna and traditional way of life. They went out of their way so we were lucky enough to see two bears and they ensured we saw chamois before we left. Everything is made-to-measure so we were delighted with our stay and thoroughly enjoyed their easy-going company. We highly recommend this Spanish school.

Excelente manera de aprender español ¡Qué encantadora pareja! Jimena y Alfredo son dos profesores de español con mucha experiencia, sensibles y atentos a sus necesidades particulares para aprender su idioma, con el menor esfuerzo. Le dan la bienvenida a su hogar en una habitación espaciosa y cuarto de baño privado con magníficas vistas de las montañas. El español se enseña a través de lecciones formales y conversaciones entretenidas durante las comidas y durante las salidas diarias. Las comidas son deliciosas y típicamente españolas. Viven en una zona hermosa y virgen de Asturias, en la Reserva Natural de Somiedo, y son extremadamente generosos con su tiempo y disponibilidad para compartir sus conocimientos sobre la flora, la fauna y la forma de vida tradicional. Hicieron todo lo posible para que tuviéramos la suerte de ver dos osos y se aseguraron de ver una gamuza antes de irnos. Todo está hecho a medida, por lo que quedamos encantados con nuestra estadía y disfrutamos mucho de su compañía fácil de llevar. Recomendamos encarecidamente esta escuela de español.

Aprende español y camina en las montañas de Austuria. Pasé 6 días encantadores con Alfredo y Jimena aprendiendo español; Formalmente en las mañanas y de manera informal durante las comidas y mientras camina por las hermosas montañas del parque nacional de Somiedo. El Cu lebre se encuentra en un pequeño pueblo rodeado de montañas con acceso a muchos senderos espectaculares. Las lecciones se adaptan a sus deseos y son individuales. Además, muchos buenos consejos y materiales para llevar a casa para continuar el estudio. El alojamiento es excelente y consta de una habitación grande con baño privado, cama grande, televisión, calefacción independiente. ¡También disfruté la comida y el vino! Como alguien a quien le gusta caminar y aprender español, fue una gran experiencia.

Una experiencia maravillosa aprendiendo español Me quedé con Alfredo y Jimena durante 9 días, con la intención de mejorar mi español como vivo en Asturias ahora, pero obtuve mucho más de lo que esperaba. Una de las grandes cosas es que te adaptan el curso y las excursiones. Son muy acogedores y disfruté de nuestras conversaciones que van desde el entorno, la cultura y la historia española y asturiana. Tengo la suerte de vivir en Asturias, que es una parte hermosa de España con excelente comida y belleza natural, así que hicimos algunas excursiones en León.

Es muy conveniente ya que te recogen y te devuelven a cualquier lugar de Asturias y absolutamente todo está incluido. Incluso si solo desea pasar una semana en un bello entorno y simplemente aprender suficiente español para el resto de sus vacaciones, sería perfecto.

Las explicaciones de Alfredo realmente me ayudaron y sus recomendaciones sobre herramientas en línea y cosas como canciones en español para escuchar fueron muy útiles.

¡Definitivamente regresaré! !
