Mimoun recommends…Lola & Leon Family Club

Our first local business recommendation is Lola & Leon Family Club in Sitges.  We asked founder Esther, originally from France, some questions about her club and a bit about her expat life in Sitges too.

Tell us about L&L and what pushed you to open such a great space.

Lola & Leon was created out of the need to have a place to go as a family, with kids, with grandparents, with family & friends who are visiting the town.

I, as a mum of a big family, am always on the lookout for child-friendly places but have never been a fan of the traditional “chiquiparks”.  Our aim was to create a space where adults would feel good too, like a shared, second living room space for all to enjoy.

What are the best things about the area you live in?

The fact that we’re all just a few steps away from nature.  It is so easy to bike or to drive 5-10mins to whichever direction and ta-dah, you’re surrounded by wine yards, forest or both.  I also like the lively, international community in the area.

I’ve found it very easy to make new friends and get to know people and I am sure that many people feel the same way. Sitges is small in many ways so “everyone meets everyone” quite quickly if wanting to do so.
