Companionship wanted: Antonio's baking and a cup of tea

Looking for a friendly person in Alcalá de Henares to visit Antonio once a week.

Alcalá de Henares
I'm writing for my neighbor Antonio, who's 76. Antonio lives alone in Alcalá de Henares, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Antonio loves baking, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday afternoon, would mean the world. We can also arrange a phone call if you can't visit in person. All visitors will be introduced by me and I'll be there at the first meeting. I'll share references and, if you'd like, a short orientation from the local befriending charity. No special skills are needed - just kindness and patience. Thank you so much.
