Description
I have lived in Las Alpujarras permanently since 2005, having been a visitor for 4 years before that.
It's the longest I've lived in one place. Clearly I love it here! I know the area quite well and I continue to find more pockets of paradise, with every exploration...
Surrounded by mountains, there are many beautiful walks both locally (from the front door) and a bus ride away.
We have amazing and inspiring scenery all around: The Mediterranean sea to the south (and on a clear day, views to Morocco too); the Sierra Nevada to the north and the rest of The Alpujarras to the east.
The coast and the historical city of Granada are each about 40 minutes journey in a car/bus from us.
I live off-grid in an old farmhouse on a beautiful mountainside in a multi-national community above Lanjaron, 1023 metres above sea level, south-east of Granada.
The workaway visitors that I have had, have been instrumental in the evolution of this wonderful place that I am honoured to guardian. Many remain in contact and some visit again. I welcome warm-hearted and open-minded folk who are able to live simply, with joy, as part of nature.
With my enjoyment of good food and my interest in healthy nutrition and harmonious living, I offer tasty vegan/vegetarian meals & your own room in the house (with a comfortable bed), in exchange for 25 hours of your help per week.
I'm willing to share my knowledge of: the area, Gardening, English, Spanish, Health, Nutrition, Aromatherapy, Massage, Soap/skin product making, Yoga, Pilates, Food Preparation & anything else of interest!
Smoking is outside of the house only.

Autres infos...
Helping hours are often flexible and can be split or merged to suit everyone.
I prefer that we work alongside each other, though sometimes you may be working alone on a task, while I work elsewhere.
There are many gorgeous local walks/mountain bike rides to enjoy and a plethora of great events to attend in this vibrant, multi-cultural area.
The coast and Granada are reachable in less than an hour by car.
