Lidia PedrazThe team at Andalucia.com proudly presents our newest member, Lidia Pedraz. She is working hard to update and expand our Restaurant Guide and focusing on the needs of our growing "What’s On" calendar. Lidia is from Salamanca, a city that is famous for the pure Castillian spoken there. She has an English Degree from the University of Salamanca and lived in London for 12 years where she taught Spanish language at London Guildhall University and Open University before returning to her beloved Spain.

For family reasons, Lidia chose to establish herself in Andalucia where she has worked as a freelance teacher and translator. She says, "For me, coming to Andalucia is a new experience because even though I’m Spanish, I find this area very different to my inland hometown."

It has been quite a surprise for her to find so many English speakers in this part of Spain. "It gives me the opportunity to communicate in English, which I love", she says.

Welcome on board, Lidia! It’s a pleasure to have you at Andalucia.com.
