Description
We are a Spanish and English family. Both of us are teachers and have lived abroad in the US, the UK and Spain.
We require exterior work and gardening required for an Eco-friendly house in the Sierra Mariola region of the inland Valencia/Alicante region. We own a beautiful three-bedroom place which the workawayers can stay in with a private bedroom and en-suite bathroom.

UN sustainability goals this host is trying to achieve
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
In return, we can give you use of a beautiful, remote and newly renovated home to disconncect from the hustle and bustle of modern day life.
As we are currently out of the country for work purposes, you would have sole occupancy of the house for most of the time. The region is a lovely rural setting but close enough to Bocairent and Ontinyent towns, which have supermarkets, shopping centres and so on. The house is located in the village of Alfafara, a beautiful little village in the middle of the Mariola Natural Park.
It is a culturally enriching experience because we can offer reccommendations on nearby hikes, local cuisine, traditions and so on as one of us is local to the area.
Help
We have a house near the town of Alfafara in the beautiful Sierra Mariola region of inland Valencia/Alicante. The house which is a former wine press and grain store has now been converted into an eco-friendly three bedroom rural house.
We are looking for someone to help us with exterior work such as building stone walls and helping with gardening etc.
