Description
We have a house with garden between hills and sea on the Strait of Gibraltar in Andalusia, Spain. 10 minutes away from Mediterranean sea, Costa del Sol, and from the Atlantic coast, Costa de la Luz (Tarifa) and rounded by natural parks (Parque Natural del Estrecho and Parque Alcornocales). It has a unique sub-tropical climate in southern Spain.
We are refreshing an old house with garden in the village. It is already functional to live but some jobs need to be done in the house and the garden.
As Bilal travels for his job, I'm always glad to have some help while he's away ... That is also the reason why avalability will be given on short notice. So if you are interested, get in touch even if the availability is on yellow!!
The ideal place if you like to enjoy nature (there is bird- and whalewatching), hike, bike, swim, wind-kite-surf, learn spanish or french, enjoy the andalusian lifestyle, ... and even go to Morocco.
