Description
*️️*️️*️️ We are looking for people to stay in August and the defining of September *️️*️️*️️*️️
You are very welcome!
Hello, my name is Jaime (22), I am the eldest son of a family of 4, Inma (50), my mother, Juan (52), my father and Fatima (17). In addition to some animals ;-)
We are a family that lives in winter in the city and in summer in the town.
Originally we are from a town in Guadalajara called Hontoba where we still keep the farmland, the garden and the animals (four little dos and 6 hens). We currently live in Torrejón de Ardoz since 1998. And we return to the town on weekends, holidays and some free time.
-We are a family very used to contact people from other countries, my parents have been working at the airport for more than 20 years, so we are delighted to welcome people and enrich us with their experience.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
General Maintenance
Animal Care
Language practice
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are moving almost every day from Hontoba to Madrid or to Madrid to Hontoba, you can enjoy and visit every corner of Madrid. Hontoba and the towns that surround it (Pastrana, Guadalajara, Cifuentes, Trillo) have many historic attractions and have been very important cities during the Renaissance and the Baroque.
This experience will allow you to get to know the characteristics of the Spanish culture, besides enjoying the tranquility of the rural life and the cultural offers of big cities like Madrid.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
Mainly we want to share experiences with workawayers the help would be at the most 20 or 15 hours per week, but surely it is much less and some day there is nothing to do and you can enjoy the sun, eat tomatoes or grapes from the garden, or go to the pool, to another town or visit Madrid. According to your choice we will try to help you and make you feel at home.
Mainly the help is not going to be so hard, most of the times can be feed the dogs, the same for the hens and to collect the garden. it could be daily less than 40mins help.
The main reason for receiving people is enjoy the experience of know new people.
One aspect that I'm so interested in is that my sister practices her English, so we are especially interested in English speakers if it would be possible.

Accommodation
We normally live in Torrejón 20 km from the center of Madrid (perfectly connected), you can be here if you want to visit Madrid for a weekend.
