WE ARE AWAY FROM ALCALA FOR THE SUMMER, TRAVELING IN NORTHERN EUROPE, WE SHOULD BE BACK SOME TIME NEAR THE END OF OCTOBER.

We are a married couple from UK and Iran, living in Spain. We both love music and folkloric activities (dancing, playing); this interest have taken us around the world and visited like minded people. Kevin is an ethnomusicologist and travelled with his musical research to the Middle East, Central Asia, India, Indonesia, Russia, North Africa, USA and Europe, he makes musical instruments and likes to sail and kayak.
Leila is a computer lecturer in Spain who is also interested about music, sailing, sewing, and painting. She has lived most of her life in Iran and Spain, but likes travelling to new places and learn about different cultures and traditions.
We both do not drink alcohol, do not smoke, and try to eat vegetarian.
