Description
We're a British couple who live in a town called Velez-Malaga which is about 50km to the east of Malaga. We are a family of four including our son (who is 4) and a Spanish Water Dog.
We have a digital marketing company with clients all over Spain and in London. We fell in love with Spain more than 12 years ago, when we met in Granada while studying. We have renovated a protected townhouse in the historic centre of Velez-Malaga. When we have some free time we like to go walking into the mountains, hang out at the beach, watch movies and generally enjoy our house and town.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Velez-Malaga is the 'real' Andalucia. An insight to the daily routine and customs of the Southern Spanish. There will be ferias and fiestas in and around the town which is a cultural experience. We have many Spanish history books in English as well as a back catalogue of Spanish films.

This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
We are a busy family but love the idea of hosting someone who is interested in Spain and who would like to help us with any aspect of our daily routine. This could be someone who loves children (and would like to be a nanny), or a online/digital marketer or developer looking for a break from city life, to someone who would like to get some digital marketing experience at the start of their career to anything in between.
We would be particularly interested in hearing from someone who would like to create written content in Spanish and could manage the social media for a website we have on the town.

English: Fluent
Accommodation
We have three ensuite bedrooms so the volunteer will have their own room and bathroom. There is a 27m2 studio flat at the top of the house which could also be available. Wifi through-out the house.
What else ...
Velez-Malaga is a typical southern Spanish working town with bars, restaurants and shops all a short walk away. There are bus routes to other towns and villages too. Malaga city is only 35 minutes' drive away, the coastal town of Nerja is only 15 minutes' drive away, while the nearest beach is 10 minutes' drive away.
