Mrs Benitez, a law lecturer in Valencia before the family departed for England said [with a Spanish accent seasoned with a pinch of Scouse] that she felt England was now more of a home to her than Spain, and that she often longs to return to her Liverpool abode during visits to family and friends in her native country.“People have been so warm to us and we really feel we have found the right place to bring our children up and enjoy life,” she said.
“My friends and family are here and we love the club and the area. We made the decision to move to Liverpool over a weekend and we really feel that this is where we belong now.” -
