  Help

  We need people to help us in the tasks of the farm and the home, as we alone do not reach everything. It is important that you like animals and children. We prefer at the moment that a girl comes, to help with the house, the garden and the children. No experience is needed, what we need is enthusiastic people of this lifestyle eager to pull this project together with us.
  The tasks to be developed can be from working the wood (for example you have to sand a stage, finish mounting a pergola and finish the drawers of the blinds for example), to do some work (keep arranging spaces for workaeayers and other guests ) to take care of the children at some time or the animals (control the horses, lock them up at night) of the farm, they can also be household tasks (helping in the kitchen and cleaning) or gardening (take care of the home).
  
  Estamos buscando a alguien, que sepa y tenga ganas de trabajar con madera y/o ayudarnos en construcciónes pequeñas, y mantener el espacio.
  
  Necesitamos gente que nos ayude sobre en las tareas de la finca y del hogar, como nosotros solos no llegamos a todo. Preferimos una chica o pareja, con ganas de ayudar sobre todo con el mantenimiento de la casa y patio y con los niños. Es importante que le gusten los animales y los niños. No se necesita experiencia, lo que necesitamos es gente entusiasta de este estilo de vida con ganas de tirar adelante este proyecto juntos con nosotros.
  Otras tareas a desarrollar pueden ser desde trabajar la madera (por ejemplo hay que lijar una tarima, acabar de montar una pergola y acabar los cajones de las persianas por ejemplo), a hacer algo de obra (seguir arreglando espacios para los workaeayers y otros invitados) a cuidar de los niños en algún momento o de los animales (controlar los caballos, encerrarlos por la noche) de la finca, también pueden ser las tareas del hogar (ayudar en la cocina y limpieza) o de jardinería (cuidar el alrededor de la casa).

  Accommodation

  There is a very humble little house apart from the Finca, for the workawayers.
  
  We take great care of our food and we will cook for them too. (If it is not, that the person as part of the exchange cooks) we use mainly ecological and first quality products. We adapt to vegans as well as to celiacs.
