Hello! Nacho and I are a warm, friendly, dynamic couple and have a lot of experience hosting guests and volunteers (though until now not on Work Away). Nacho is from Malaga and I am from Bermuda. We live on a beautiful farm in a forest in the stunningly beautiful Valle del Genal, an undiscovered gem south of Ronda in Andalusia. It is a privilege and honour for us to live here amongst such beautiful wildlife and trees and we have lots to do. As there are just the two of us, from time to time we need extra hands and hearts to help us out on different projects.
We are in our early fifties but are young at heart and still full of lots of enthusiam for life and its magic. I am a therapist and Nacho is a professional maitre d'hotel and chef and we host paying guests from all over the world to earn our living.
We have both been practicing yoga for years and try to live as consciously as possible in terms of the environment and place a lot of value on the relationships we create.Arten von Hilfe und Lernmöglichkeiten

Nacho is local and speaks good English. We are both happy to share information about local Andalusian and Spanish culture, cuisine, architecture and history. We are interested in and practice permaculture and organic farming and bio-construction. The Valle del genal where we live in La Serrania de Ronda has the highest bio-diversity of flora in the whole of Europe. It is a very special and magical area.
We are interested in philosophy, spirituality and aim to leave the world a better place. We believe in service to others, kindness and compassion for all beings.
We are part of an international community of like-minded souls and there are usually a lot of social events we can take volunteers to. We love music, art, film, creativity generally and nature. We go to jam sessions and like to share the many beautiful spots around here for hiking and total immersion in nature.
Ronda, which is 40 minutes away, is Trip Adviser's Number One destination in Spain and is fascinating in terms of its history and beauty. There are many beautiful little villages nearby, rivers and the beach is 50 minutes away.Arbeit
Right now, we are specifically looking ideally for two mature, extremely reliable, well-balanced, happy volunteers (a couple would be great), who can come and stay here and house sit our farm and take care of our two gorgeous, low-maintenance dogs and one beautiful, easy to care for cat as well as do some tasks for us around the farm including if necessary watering plants and doing some jobs which we can decide on mutually depending on your capabilities and interests.
It would involve walking our dogs twice a day, feeding them twice a day and feeding the cat in the evenings.
We are looking for volunteers to come from approximately Jan 19th, 2024 until February 17th, 2024 when we will be away. This would mean being here for a few days before we leave to settle in and see the workings of our home (there's nothing complicated) and staying on briefly afterwards once we return.
Depending on how everything goes, there may be a possibility of staying on a bit longer.
We are only interested in hearing from you if you deeply love and respect nature, have previous experience of living in the countryside, adore animals, take care of other people's things (and yourself/ves!), are clean and tidy, practical, have a lot of common sense, are highly responsive in terms of communication and think you would really enjoy your time here.
You can walk to the nearest village in 12 minutes from here where there is a supermarket, pharmacy, cafes etc..
We would ideally want to meet any potential volunteers in person in advance.
Having a current Driver's Licence and your own vehicle would be a huge bonus.Sprachen

We are happy for you to bring an animal if it is well-behaved and gets on well with people as well as with our dogs and cats. We do not want to host problematic or neurotic animals for the well-being of ours and that of our other guests who come here seeking peace and quietude. We hope you understand.
