Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Bony, from Venezuela is in charge of the house. Every morning, at 7:30 you can have breakfast together and start talking and planning the journey. According to the help needed, workawayers will work with Bony or with one of the other people collaborating in the project. Hardly ever you will work alone, you'll have the opportunity to learn and get new experiences with us. At midday, you’ll have lunch together, around a big table and you'll enjoy typical Spanish or Venezuelan food and good moments together. By the afternoon, workawayers can relax in their room, stay in the house taking advantages of common areas, the garden or the orchard, or get out of the house and visit the surroundings. Every Sunday, we invite friends and family and we cook a huge paella spending the day having a good time, laughing and sharing experiences all together.

Help
We just need positive attitude and social skills. You will share with other people your daily activities in a relaxing atmosphere near the sea in our country house. One day we'll need help painting a room, another day we'll polishing a wardrobe... You can help us recollecting olives, planting carrots or fertilizing the fruit trees.
One day per week we will ask you to cook a typical food from your country if you want to.
You can cut wood for the fire in winter time or peaking the fallen leaves in autumn.
If you are English native speaker you can practice with me and my family to improve our English skills.

Although we didn't see David or Elena too often, we had a wonderful time there with Bony who is in charge of the daily tasks. We did a whole lot of things e.g. cleaning, repairing, cooking for the workers and also we learned the basics of upholstering a chair. :)

We don’t regret the time we’ve spent there, and… read more
