UPDATING PROFILE
I MOVED FROM ANDALUCIA TO CATALUÑA
So here I am, I just bought a land with a little house in the natural park of Albera, northern Cataluña, very next to the french border.
As it is only 20 kms away from La Junquera and from Figueres, which are on the road for those who travel from southern France to Spain, my goal is to make a nice place where travelers can stop some time in their trip, with some place for parking vans or trucks.
But at the moment the land and the house need both a lot of work to put them in good conditions. So I will need people helping me in a variety of different tasks, from cooking and housekeeping, to gardening and construction. Musicians, artists, creative people super welcome.
...
My home is an open house, were people come by, to play or listen to some music, have meals together, and lend a hand too. There is no TV, but a good fireplace. There is a classic guitar, a keyboard, an electric piano and a dj station with 2 technics turntables.
Pets super welcome.
IMPORTANT: I recieve a lot of offers from volunters. As I don't want to spend my time answering to tons of emails, please if you don't get any answer within 3 days, it's because I'm not interested in your offer, for any reason. Thanks for understanding.

And my lesson at your place: weed in the courtyard, sometimes so huge and untamable, seems so difficult and time-consuming to remove it. And then you find so easy this one root and by just one sturdy, ordinary move: the hole tangle is gone. :)
Wish you grandiose trip with Berta and… read more
