Description
I'm a 62 year old woman who has dedicated her professional life to music and travelling. Ten years ago I decided to switch my life from Madrid and move closer to nature. After a few years in the south, now I found a piece of paradise on the north shore of Spain.
At this moment, I need handy & strong people to help me with some light DIY. I'm skilled at many construction techniques, but I lack physical strength.
Also, the land around the house needs some love.
I can offer a nice bedroom in the house, located by the mouth of the river Sor, that is the border between the provinces of Lugo and Coruña, 4 kms from the astonishing Cantabric sea beaches.
This offer is until november, since I will return to the South when the rains start.
Soy una mujer de 52 años, que he dedicado mi vida profesional a la música y los viajes. Hace unos pocos años decidí dejar mi vida de urbanita y vivir en medio de la naturaleza. Tras unos años en el sur, he encontrado un pequeño paraíso en las Rías Altas gallegas.
En este momento, necesito a una persona fuerte (y preferiblemente habilidosa) que pueda ayudarme a con algunas pequeñas reformas en la casa. Tengo los conocimientos y la habilidad, pero me falta fuerza física para mover los materiales.
Puedo ofrecer una habitación en la casa, que está junto a las riberas del Sor, el río que separa las provincias de Lugo y Coruña, a 4 kms de las espectaculares playas de la zona.
La oferta es hasta noviembre, ya que, cuando empiecen las lluvias, regresaré al sur para pasar el invierno. -

The finca is located in a quite relaxed environment near Almuñécar, which is a very nice seaside place.
For the time I spent there, work has consisted mainly in constructing a wooden cabin made out of recycled pallets in moorish style, which will be your … read more
Despite all the challenges, we could get along well and move forward with work. It would be a challenge for anyone to renovate a whole house while hosting 3 workawayers, plus helping a family in need to have a place to … read more
