I will say, at times it was slightly overwhelming, but overall the transition into life here in Ecija has been amazing. I cannot, cannot, CANNOT say this without accrediting our amazing landlady, Maria, who with the help of her family have indirectly held our hands through every tiny issue we’ve had to face as new residents in Ecija.
First there is the piso. It’s incredible. We literally have three floors to ourselves.
The first-floor walkup enters into a living room and small, adjacent kitchen (with a washing machine wedged in normally where you would find the dish washer!).
There is a small front terrace off of the living room that looks out over Puerta Osuna. Our bedrooms are up on the second floor - Jules won the larger room fair and square, which has a large armario for clothes and a full-size bed. My room is attached, with another full closet (which of course, I have taken complete advantage of) and a twin-sized bed.
There is a full bath upstairs, and we have another small terrace outside of Jules’ bedroom. The best part is our rooftop terrace! Since it’s extremely uncommon to own a dryer at home, most people have terraces, or places to hang their laundry. I have to say that we landed a terrace on the larger scale of ones that I’ve seen in Spain. We haven’t really utilized it to our advantage yet, but we want to get some lights and other fun things to spruce it up and make it more homey. It also provides a great view of several torres in Ecija.
