Description
We are a catalane family who lives in the beautiful area of “The Pre-Pyrenees”, province of Lleida. We live in a quiet region surrounded by mountains. We live with our two dogs. The granny lives in the first floor of the same house.
We are in the centre of Camarasa, and just 1 hour and half drive from Barcelona, Tarragona and the Pyrenees (the beautiful area of the high mountains).
We like simple, quiet life in countryside, however Camarasa has recently become a touristic area, probably due to its beautiful landscapes.
We have 2 dogs.
We work as tutors but only in the afternoons and evenings. Help required is about English speaking classes and maintaining the house. That help is from October to mid June.
We barely teach in July and August therefore we need mainly help with the house including some cleaning and maintenance in summer time.
You sometimes can be asked for being at home taking care of the house, dogs if Pau and Rosa go out.
Pau is an amateur musician so he can share traditional catalane music. Rosa makes a lot of traditional catalane and Mediterranean recipes, updated to be healthy ones. She loves cooking with whole ingredients and in a Mediterranean way and now many of her recipes are from other countries. Many thanks to the friends of workaway for sharing their culture! ;-).
We speak Catalan and Spanish fluently, our mother tongues; and English. We love chatting in front of a glass of wine or a cup of tea, or coffee!
If you like to play music, we play catalane instruments as “tarota” but also double bass, trombone, guitar... (Pau is the teacher and Rosa a student, but we like to play together). We have a guitar in your bedroom that you can play!
Rosa teaches English, mainly speaking classes, so you will be asked for accompaning her. You no are required to know English grammar. Only English spoken skills. In summer, mid June, July and August there are NOT ENGLISH classes. The rest of the help would be mainly cleanning.
We would ocasionally need some help about painting and renovating the house.
If you ask for, we are able to help you with Spanish. Many volunteers have improved their Spanish with us :)
We hope meet you soon!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We have helped a lot of volunteers to live and understand the culture of the people who live in the Pyrenees. We really love chatting after the meals and we keep the old style of the living from mediaterranean areas.
We are fond of accompany our friends of workaways to discover the Catalan and Spanish culture depending on the interest they have.
Apart from that, Rosa teaches Spanish online and Pau has helped many volunteers to improve their Spanish.
If you are interested in Catalan, we would be pleased to help you :D
Help
MAINLY we would like to have someone that can give a hand at home: cleaning and little cooking ( we only ask for preparing salad and eggs in the evenings ). Cleaning will be required as part of the help.
We will need help with walking our dogs.
The house is old and needs maintenance. You can be asked to give a hand.
Please, if you are 20 years old or yourger or vegetarian try to find another host.
We ask for some help in English conversation classes (Rosa works as an English teacher sometimes). But it is not needed in summer time ( mid June, July, August and half Setember). Only ocassionally.
We are delighted about languages exchange.
We expect five hours of help a day, five days a week . If you spend your weekends with us, do the normal help you would do at your home: helping with the kitchen, the meals, etc.

Accommodation
A room in the 2nd floor, a floor in our town house with a bathroom. We live in the centre of a little medieval town of the Pre- Pyrenees of Catalonia (Lleida, Spain). We provide MEALS , towels and the normal bed clothes.
What else ...
- Please, if you are 20 years old or yourger or vegetarian, try to find another host.
- The couple, Pau and Rosa are in their fifties both. We live in a little town of 700 inhabitants. Our house has 4 floors where our grandmother lives in the 1st floor by their own and we live in the 3rd with our 2 dogs. Your room is in the 2nd floor. You have a bathroom next to it.
- The area is full of wild life and there are many beautiful walks and nature. We love nature and we use to show Biology, Archaeology and History and Geology of Pre-Pyrenees and Pyrenees to friends and tourists.
- Our town is near Barcelona too (2 hours car ride). It is very easy to get here from Barcelona and we normally help you to find the proper transport.
- All of our food is made at home in the Mediterranean way, because Rosa, the mother, loves cooking old Mediterranean recipes or international but with fresh ingredients.
- We need help all the seasons and we don’t mind how much time you want to stay with us, neither long nor short. But in Summer, we limit the stay to 30 days maximum.
- With our family, you can come by yourself, live independent, but it doesn't mean being alone, only when you want, because we love chatting and having good discussions.
- If you're used to play any instrument, we love to play together and share music. You can bring it or you can use some of ours. There is a guitar volunteers can use.
- We prefer mainly to host people who are not vegan or vegetarian.
