Description

We are a young couple who have bought a near derelict farm high up in the Sierra Grande of Martos, in Jaén province of Andalusia.
While we are busy working away to raise the funds to reform our house to its original glory, we are seriously lacking of time to take care of our land. With alernate rain and sunshine, weeds are growing quickly and nature is having its own way. We are looking for serious nature lover who would like to volunteer helping us taming nature and replanting trees. At 15 km from the first village, the volunteering work will pretty much be staying onsite and use your free time to paint, read or go for long walks in the country side. Any volunteers with building experience welcome too!!
