Descripción
We are an artist/musician couple with 2 daughters 14 and a 6 year old.
Carmen is Spanish from the coast of Granada and Tom is Scottish from Edinburgh.
19 years ago we bought a ruined village house with some land in the mountains of the Sierra Nevada in the province of Granada, Andalucia.
We have worked hard restoring the house every winter, the rest of the year we live in Edinburgh where our children go to school, Carmen has her painting career and Tom his music.

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
The Village itself is a cultural experience, full of fantastic characters and eccentrics and a good community feel.
We Speak Spanish on the whole when we are there, but are also fluent in English, so we can help with anyone wanting to improve their Spanish or English.
Also you will be in the company of a musician and an artist, so we can share skills and encouragement in these fields.

Tom needs help! (Available from Thursday 30th Jan, till Friday 13th).
We usually offer all the winter months as we are here working in the house and the land, but this year we only have 2 weeks to repair the wear and tear of our house, very important for our economy as we rent it in the hotter months and every year without fail we need to do some repainting, nourishing wood , fixing or replacing what’s broken, etc...to keep it looking wonderful.
We need one or more Workaways to help with this and the cooking.
As school is tricky at the moment due to exams for our oldest daughter , only Tom can go up to the house and only for 2 weeks.
We are happy to have more than 1 person, to share the house’s work, we are asking for is workawayer to be our support in the home, which will free Tom to engage in the mission described above.
Both of us are bi-lingual (English/Spanish) and happy to facilitate language exchange. We offer good food and good cozy lodging in return for 5 hrs work per day 5 days per week.
There's a great community in the village, the fiestas are this weekend with music and food and celebration in the square, you will be welcomed and will meet lots of people. You can also find plenty of space for walks, meditation, yoga classes and splashing in the streams or reading under olive trees!
