Description
Hi! We are an English family of 4 (two girls aged 15 and 13) who moved from London in 2022 to seek adventure and new experiences in the wonderful Galicia.
We have purchased a 200 year old farm house with guest cottage which we have largely renovated, together with a large garden. We love it here and enjoy sharing it with others.
The house is perfectly located with hiking (our house is based on the Spiritual spur of the Camino de Santiago), swimming, surfing, historical towns and great food on its doorstep whilst also feeling tranquil and quiet when at home!
We are a friendly family, who love meeting new people (be prepared for our kids to ask many questions!). We are looking forward to welcoming someone to join us on our Galican adventure.
Please ensure you have correct Visa and insurance cover.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are English in search of new experiences and cultures. Galicia is perfect for this. It has everything!
- Nature by the bucket load be it sea or mountains. There are walking routes everywhere -
- Watersports on our doorstep (we have a kayak and paddle board, but sailing, surfing etc etc close by)
- History - Lots of historical sites to explore
- Food - Galician's are VERY proud of their food. Awesome seafood, empanadas, bbqs. Great restaurants in nearby towns. Also great local produce so carbon footprint reduced!
We love to explore the local areas and will be very happy to have our workaway join us.
The kids are at school here so come back with a wealth of information on Spanish and Galician history and way of life.

Languages
Languages spoken
English: Fluent

French: IntermediateThis host offers a language exchange
We are learning Spanish, well the kids are now fluent, but us adults would love some help. Very happy to teach you English in exchange
Accommodation
Option of staying in the main house with access to your own bathroom, or potentially staying in the casita with its own bathroom.
We love food - we all cook (even the kids) and would love for you to join us (and cook if you like!). We cater for Gluten free, dairy free and don't eat much red meat. We can also accommodate vegan/vegetarian and always keen to learn new recipes.
What else ...
When not working the house is perfectly located on a hill overlooking the sea, beside a babbling brook. With a large garden and pool to relax in.
It is quiet and tranquil but only 10 mins beautiful walk to the beach!
Cafes and restaurants within walking distance
Local bus route 10 mins walk away which gets you to local towns (Pontevedra, Sanxenxo and Vigo) and surf beaches.
During term time the kids are at school so leave the house around 9am and get back around 5.30pm. My husband is a digital nomad so works in the house. I am building a digital career so will split my time working on the house and working on my computer.
We have starlink internet and 5g is very good here.
We have two cats who mostly live outside but do come into the dining room for food and when it is raining outside.. We (try to) keep them out of bedrooms.

And the house and the town are an amazing getaway if you're looking for some peace and quiet. it was a great balance of a couple hours help, a couple hours rest, and then a good hike on the trail behind their house.
truly a wonderful experience!

Adam and Amy are great hosts! I felt very comfortable as soon as I arrived. Their two girls Eva and Nelly have amazing energy and are great to be around!
The little town near Pontevedra is very cute with a little river near by. The place is great for running, cycling and having a swim.
I had a great time helping out at your… read more
