  Beschreibung

  Hi Everyone!
  
  My name is Maria, I am a Spanish/Swiss woman of 59 years old.
  
  I live in a beautiful masia (rural house) with 2,5 hectare land, outside of Valls in the Tarragona region.
  
  Currently I share the house with a Spanish couple good friends of mine, Andrés and Ana, he is bricklayer and she cook. We help each other in everything we can. We have three dogs: Kram, Edu and Cloe; and two turtles: Matilda and Catalina and soon 6 chickens will be added to the family
  
  After living abroad for many years, I am returning home to make my dream true: live in my country house in a sustainable multicultural way and as self-sufficient as possible
  
  I am offering full accommodation in exchange of some help with the house and landscape. There is a variety of tasks to do in order to renew my home in which I will need help:
  
  • Maintain the land
  • Build a vegetable garden
  • Animal care
  
  I am looking for motivated and proactive people that would like to contribute and share points of view. All ideas are welcome, and I will be very thankfully for people who want to share knowledge and experience.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  My intention is to integrate the workwayers as part of the family. It would be great to cook together, and share recipes, we eat meat and fish.
  
  You will experience living in a traditional masía located in the rural area of Tarragona.
  
  Our first language is Spanish, but you will be able to mix with local people who speak Catalan.
  I can speak fluently English, Swiss and German.
  
  My hobby is painting and if we find the time you can also join me if you want.

  Arbeit

  I need people eager to help me with the house and landscape, particularly in the following tasks:
  
  • Maintain the land
  Cut the grass, prune some trees, chop firewood, remove the bramble, store wood in the shed, etc.
  
  • Build a vegetable garden
  My aim is to be as self-sustainable as possible, by growing my own food using organic and bio intensive practices and by trading surplus with others.
  For this, it is needed to prepare the landscape, build a rainwater collector system, grow the seeds, tend to the vegetable plot, weed, water and harvest vegetables.
  
  • Animal care: help in cleaning and daily feeding of 6 chickens and 2 turtles
  
  • House hold and garden : cleaning and small repairs. Keep the shared areas clean and tidy
  
  • I have a lot of wood and pallets, and someone with knowledge of carpentry would be very welcome, since I would like to make a new shed for storage in the garden

  Unterkunft

  There is one big bedroom with two single beds. I will provide bedding and towels. We have two shared bathrooms, one in each floor.
  
  We have two kitchen: one inside the house and a garden kitchen. Each kitchen has its own fridge where you can keep any food you would like for your own. I will provide Breakfast, lunch and dinner during your stay, and water coffee and tee will be always available, note that Snacks and soft drinks will not be provided.
  
  As we are off grid, we need to be very mindful by using our water, we have strict rules to not waste water, one example are short showers and reuse water for watering garden, and many more we will explain when you come.
  
  Besides that, the house is connected to mainstream power sources we have electricity and high speed internet access.
  
  You can smoke outside without problem.
  
  I recommend this place to volunteers who have their own transportation, otherwise they may feel isolated, since public transportation is not very regular here.

  Was noch ...

  There are lots of festivals in the Valls and surrounding area throughout the year, including the annual calçotada in Valls in January and the Castellers in Tarragona in September.
  
  The area offers lots of opportunities to enjoy the forest, mountains, animals, beach, and good weather. Also, you will have the chance to practice outdoor sports such as walking, hiking. There are also many small towns and cities that you can visit during your stay. If interested, I can provide you with information about what to see and to do in the region, as well as help you to plan your stay according to your interests.
  
  My home is located 20 minutes walking distance from Valls, where you can find parks, cafes, bars, restaurants, grocery stores and small shops. There is also a bus station in town with service to Barcelona (~one hour) and Tarragona which is only 20 minutes by car.
  
  If you plan in your free time to move and know this area then it is preferable to come with own car.
