  • Description

    Description

    We have a house with garden between hills and sea on the Strait of Gibraltar. 10 minutes away from Mediterranean sea, Costa del Sol, and from the Atlantic coast, Costa de la Luz (Tarifa) and rounded by natural parks (between Parque Natural del Estrecho and Parque Alcornocales). It has a unique sub-tropical climate in the Southern Area of Spain.
    We are refreshing an old house with garden in the village. It is already functional to live but some jobs need to be done in the house and the garden.
    As Bilal travels for his job, I'm always glad to have some help while he's away ... That is also the reason why avalability will be given on short notice. So if you are interested, get in touch even if the availability is on yellow!!
    The ideal place if you like to enjoy nature (there is bird- and whalewatching), hike, bike, swim, wind-kite-surf, learn spanish or french, enjoy the andalusian lifestyle, ... and go to morocco.

    We will plan the work ratio toghether to make it a fruitefull stay for both. Initially we like the workaway to be autonomous for 4hours work/day on the job. And with normal help in daily tasks such as cleaning and cooking. Mostly vegetarian food and shelter are provided of course.
    There is a busstop at 200m going to Tarifa or Algeciras. You can come with the bus from Malaga Airport or Gibraltar. If you come with your own car, which we highly recommend, there is easy parking around. I move around a lot so we can always share rides.
