Welcome Letter

Following the meeting, the first thing I would like to do is publish a welcome letter from the adjuntament to us all. This was written in English and personally signed by Lluis, Jose and Olga from the ajuntament.

'Freginals is a small town of working folk located at the foot of the mountain that gives our County its name:Montsia.
We are 460 residents who work in agriculture and different jobs in the neighbouring towns (Amposta, La Senia, Tortosa), which also provide the majority of our services.
Perhaps for this reason, and because not too many years ago the residents of Freginals also set out for France and other Countries in a quest for a better life for their children, We understand the difficulties of beginning a new stage in life far from your family, friends and customs, far from the traditions and the music you used to listen to when you were young.
We are completely convinced that without respect for everyone's customs, peaceful coexistance is impossible. For this reason, we want to help you solve your minor day-to-day problems based on the respect we both ask for and offer, so that we can all together try to make this village a little smaller and all feel more at home here.
The mayor and all the town councillors are all onboard this effort.
Welcome to Freginals. We hope your stay with us will be the start of a better life for everyone.'
Signed,
Lluis, Jose, and Olga.
