Description
I am Julia & I live with my husband Ian and our 4 cats, goldfish, & 13 chickens. We live in a very pretty part of Spain where most of the locals are Spanish with just a smattering of English expats.
We have a lovely house with land containing about 100 olive trees and a few fruit trees too.
We would like help with gardening, weeding cleaning, cooking and general maintenance around the property.
We are particularly looking for couples to help with our olive harvest around November- December.
Unfortunately we will not accept vegetarians or vegans.
We encourage the workaways to live with us as a family, joining us for meals at times convenient to all. All food and beverages are included and we do a weekly shop together to ensure that all tastes are catered for. We encourage workaways to get involved in the planning, cooking and clearing away of all meals. We are also open to new ideas and suggestions for different ideas.
We expect 4-5 hours work a day and the rest of the day will be free. On a weekly basis, two days off a week are given during which all meals are still provided.
We are usually looking to host workaways for two weeks at a time.

You will have an opportunity to learn a little of the language and to mix with our many Spanish friends. We will give you an insight into learning about the Olive harvest and caring for the trees throughout the year.
Aide
Help with olive trees, gardening cooking, cleaning and with the cats & chickens for two weeks.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AS TO WHAT TASKS ARE EXPECTED AND HOUSEHOLD RULES. PLEASE ONLY RESPOND IF IT ALIGNS WITH YOU PERFECTLY. We don't mean to be harsh but we get so many people that copy and paste messages to each host or just talk about themselves that we need to put this message here. In your email, if you can title your email with your name and your requested dates, it really helps us organize all the requests. Thank you.
If you email without reading the profile in its entirety and email accordingly, We may feel like you sent a copy/paste message and we may not host you. You will just receive an automated message response saying that you didn't read my profile and good luck in the future.
Preference to two people traveling together, skilled or experienced labor, and longer stays with current reviews. It does not mean you should not apply if you don't fit into these areas.
Are you reliable, trustworthy, and strong?
Are you a hard worker? I mean do you move fast & efficiently and have attention to detail?!
Two-week minimum commitment as it’s a lot of energy for us to teach
Examples of responsibilities could be:
Cleaning out chicken coops & collecting eggs at the end of the day
Helping with the feeding of cats
Pruning of the fruit & olive trees, collecting olives (November/December)
General garden maintenance & weeding
Helping maintain the house living space (not counted in hours as you will be using the living room, kitchen, bathrooms just like at home)
Handy(wo)man skills
Cleaning inside the house & outside BBQ/Bar areas
Random things that we need help with

Very pretty area with lots of areas to walk. Sax has a lovely castle and many shops bars, restaurants and a weekly local market. There is a bus which will take you into Alicante for interesting sightseeing or a visit to the beach. We also have a pool for your use to cool off in the hot weather. We must add that you should not have any allergies to cats.
