Rural Life Spain

About this program

Rural Life Spain offers a unique "Family Erasmus" program in the Tierra Bobal wine region of Valencia, Spain. This government-backed initiative, funded by MITECO and the EU, invites European families to experience rural Spanish life while their children attend local public schools. Located in the Requena-Utiel comarca, just one hour from Valencia city, the program provides a complete turnkey experience. The initiative was created as a public-private collaboration to combat rural depopulation while offering families an affordable cultural immersion opportunity. Rural Life handles all logistics including school enrollment, housing arrangements, and remote work setup, allowing families to focus entirely on enjoying their experience. For families seeking a slower pace of life surrounded by vineyards, natural parks, and authentic Spanish village culture, Rural Life Spain provides a structured pathway to experience it firsthand.
