Life writes the best scripts! Here is one of them: an Australian-Spanish story full of bold decisions, good food, and love for a ruin with spectacular views that literally take your breath away.

The main characters? An Australian couple with a 12-year-old daughter who one day decided to move to the other side of the world – to Barcelona. Their motivation? "Long lunches and better Spanish," says Sophie with a smile. They arrived with no life plan, just their favorite cutting board and chef's knives!

Now, it’s time for the true star, affectionately called "The Old Lady." Catalan house, originally Forn Teuler, is a 17th-century treasure. Once a place where tiles were fired for the local community – "forn" means oven, and "teuler" means tile in old Catalan. Psst... you can still find the original tile oven and old firing kiln in the main house.

In this magical place, our protagonists have found their "happily ever after". Like in the best stories, they spend their days surrounded by the rustic charm of Catalonia, in the company of their faithful canine trio: Rufus, Lady, and Paco. Where the aroma of home-cooked meals wafts through the air, and the laughter of a family who dared to dream echoes off the ancient stones.
