    Description

    HOUSESITTING from 4th to 19th October (mainly caring for two cats and a dog, looking after chickens and collecting eggs and watering tasks). General workaway volunteering before and after this time also welcome.

    General workaway from 19th October until beginning December. We do our olive harvest towards the end of November.

    Are you fit, strong and enthusiastic? Do you like the outdoors? We like to think that the people who come to visit us can learn something about off-grid living and organic methods of farming/horticulture in a beautiful, relaxing setting in our little corner of the Alpujarra.

    We are a couple who took early retirement from education. We live in a beautiful setting 3km above the town of Orgiva in the Alpujarras. We built, with the help of local Spanish builders, our house, with pool, and now need help with our 69 organic acres. We enjoy walking, listening to music, reading, sewing, the odd outing and more recently our new granddaughter!

    There are olive, almond, vines and various fruit trees to tend, land to be cleared, wood to be gathered and sorted, fruit and vegetables to be grown and animals such as chickens, turkeys, dogs and cats to be cared for. Sometimes we have an orphan lamb or two to be bottle fed. We are almost self-sufficient. There are various projects on the go and things to do around the house. We are completely off-grid but comfortable none-the-less.

    If you arrive in your own vehicle please appreciate that we live 2km up a dirt track.

    Non-smokers preferred.
