Description
hello,
We are an English family living in Spain 30 years. We have had many workaways (please read their reviews) . We would like help with building a wooden pergola and painting the guest cottage.
Private accommodation and food is included at the house with us. We are close to the beach and countryside.
Feel free to contact us with questions.
Cathy, Jim & Carla.
P.S. We have a cat/dog.Types of help and learning opportunities

Guest cottage or bedroom in the house with food included in Sotogrande.
What else ...
The workaway guests can join in with the yoga and hiking and there is a bike they can borrow to go to the beach. In the area there are many nice white moorish villages to visit but you would need a transport. There is country side inland where some like to go for a run. At the weekends there is the option to do day trips up the coast to Gibraltar, Tarifa and Marbella.
