    Description

    ENGLISH:
    Hello! We are Isabel and Simon, a couple between 50 and 60 years old and we live between two rivers in the Sierra de Gata, a wonderful place north of the province of Cáceres, 1 hour away from Gata, the nearest village, walking on track .
    We live in fixed bio-construction yurts, and we cultivate the garden and fruit trees.
    Our farm is 2 hectares.
    We love the simple and quiet country life, enjoying nature, having long walks and sleeping under the starry sky.
    We also have a donkey, a mare, two sheeps, 3 dogs and several cats.
    At the moment we need help in olive harvesting and in different tasks related to bioconstruction and carpentry.
    We would like volunteers with some experiences in these tasks, but the most important thing is that you are a healthy person, eager to learn, calm, respectful and loving nature and animals.
    The work is 5 hours a day, 5 days a week, so you can have enough free time.

    ESPAÑOL:
    ¡Hola! Somos Isabel y Simon, una pareja entre 50 y 60 años y vivimos entre dos ríos en la Sierra de Gata, un lugar maravilloso al norte de la provincia de Cáceres, a 1 hora de distancia de Gata, el pueblo más cercano, caminando por pista.
    Habitamos unas yurtas fijas de bio-construcción, dedicándonos al cultivo de la huerta y de los árboles frutales.
    Nuestra finca es de 2 hectáreas.
    Nos encanta la vida sencilla y tranquila del campo, disfrutando de la naturaleza dando largos paseos y durmiendo bajo el cielo estrellado.
    Además tenemos un burro, una yegua, dos ovejas, 3 perros y varios gatos.
    En estos momentos necesitamos ayuda para la recolección de aceituna y en diferentes tareas relacionadas con la bioconstrucción y la carpintería.
    Nos gustaría voluntarios con alguna experiencia en estos campos, pero lo más importante es que tu seas una persona sana, con ganas de aprender, tranquila, respetuosa y amante de la naturaleza y de los animales.
    La jornada es de 5 horas al día, 5 días a la semana, para que se pueda disponer de suficiente tiempo libre.
