After the trip, they will share their favourite memories. Every year, more people escape to the countryside. This weekend, Elena and Diego are staying at a rural house near Segovia. This rural house lets them disconnect completely. Diego knows every path through the hills. The owner greets them warmly. For breakfast, they eat homemade bread and fresh cheese. In the afternoon, they will go hiking through the forest. They will have dinner outside on the terrace. Diego would like to buy some local products for his family. They ask the woman at the market for a map. She gives it to them. She asks them to take care of nature. On Sunday, they will visit three villages before returning to Madrid.

Clever stuff happening!
