Description
NOTE:** Ukranian refugees welcome**
We are a family living at a small and cozy city called Cabezon de la Sal, northern Spain, 10km away from the sea and really close to the mountain. We have one son and two daughters 21, 20 and 16 year old. The olders lives and go to university at Madrid, and the teenager lives at home. We have 6 horses and 8 dogs. We need somebody to help with animals and house tasks, someone who could help us in all aspects, becoming a family member.
We also run a pottery shop in which the workawayer also could help and practice.

I just spent a month with Pablo and his wonderful family during May. I had an amazing time there and I was welcomed with open arms. The whole family made sure I was comfortable from the first day I arrived and were very supportive when I wanted to do activities or changing my schedule for a city trip.

It has been our first workaway experience, and it couldn't have been better! The whole family always made sure that we are fine and we really felt like we are a part of the family.

I stayed with this amazing family over the Christmas holidays and it was an amazing experience! They were very hospitable and we were always making and eating amazing food. There was work to do but we also took time to rest and enjoy each other's company. For a relaxing, mountainous, dog-friendly experience, give this work away a try!

Mi primer WorkAway y realmente una muy grata experiencia!
Disfruté mucho la naturaleza, el ritmo y la vida en el campo, pasar tiempo con la familia de Pablo (que realmente cocina tremendamente bien!). Extrañaré salir en bicicleta por las sierras con tan bellos paisajes!
Ojalá nuestros caminoa se vuelvan a encontrar!

Unfortunately I was really let down by this experience. It often felt like these hosts used their landscape and horses to lure in workawayers when in reality they just wanted free labor. I was with these hosts for 10 days along with two other workawayers. We lived in a small "apartment" attached to the horse stables in which none of the appliances… read more

Cynthia came home just for ten days, but in that short period of time she became a full family member, helping a lot and making all of us to fall in love with her immediately! We hope she can come back soon for a longer period!
