´The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams` (Eleanor Roosevelt)

Ontspanjehier was founded by Ronald Marees and Monica Welsing. Before we came to Andalusia, we owned a water sports centre in Friesland, the Netherlands. We thoroughly enjoyed doing this for almost ten years. Then finally came the time to find a new challenge.

The idea behind Ontspanjehier followed from the question: “How can we raise our sense of hospitality up to the next level and offer visitors an overview of the nicest, most beautiful and best places in Andalusia?”

Because Andalusia is our home, this includes not only nice places to stay but also reliable, high-quality services. After all, when we came to live here in 2005, we had to find these, too.

We have only just started, but we hope that Ontspanjehier.com will become the best website about Andalusia for Dutch pleasure-lovers, regardless of whether they are on holiday, live or work here or just like doing a bit of everything.
