Pillows, blankets, sheets and pillow cases are the only articles supplied and washed by the Spanish family. Everything else, including towels, is the responsibility of the student. Breakfast in Spain is continental, in the strictest sense, consisting of coffee or tea with a type of biscuit or bread. A kitchen is the private domain of the Spanish housewife, and students may not enter looking for leftovers or snacks. Meal times are rigid and cannot be changed to suit the student.
Spanish cuisine is of high quality, tasty and varied.
Dessert almost always consists of seasonally fresh fruit or cheese. Students need to be as patient and tolerant as possible. While some hosts are more flexible than others, having a vegetarian as a boarder presents a problem to the Senora who not only does not know how to prepare meals for a vegetarian diet, but also requires additional work and responsibility. If you are a strict vegetarian remember to bring any no-perishable foods that may supplement your diet such as peanut butter or granola bars. You can buy items such as tuna fish, rice and pasta in Salamanca.
