Rural Living and help with outdoor projects in Alora, Malaga, Spain

Details

  Description

  Me (M36) and my Friend (M30) bought a land a few years ago and rented a house next to it with almost 20 acres of land, awesome mountains and beautiful views around Alora in Malaga, Spain. I work from home with a swedish company through the computer and my friend is dedicated to the land fulltime. We have a lot of extra space and are used to having people come by to help, enjoy, help out, learn and just simply to relax in the sunniest part of Spain. We have water, electricity, access to bus, train and whatever might be necesary for you to be able to join us, help us out and make friends in general.
  
  This is not a business but rather a development of our land, we provide food, shelter and good companionship to all those passing our path.
  
  This year we will be building a super adobe house and all those who wish to join, learn and help, please send a message to get an update on the superadobe project. At the moment the super adobe project is to begin in july, august. At the moment, we have 2 spare caravans and 2 extra bedrooms.
  
  4 hours - 5 days a week - (alternative 4days x 5 hours)
  IF YOU DONT HAVE YOUR CAR OR VAN TO SLEEP IN AND NEED ACCOMODATION FROM US.
  5 hours - 5 days a week.
  
  :::: UPDATE :::: MARCH 2023.
  
  We have a lot of space, a lot of land for parking vehicles and also we love having people around, the only problem that we have is that we dont have enough work. Often we find ourselves making an effort to give everybody something to do, and its also becoming a struggle with the cost of feeding everybody (we were 12 wonderful beings at one point).
  
  So for the future, we will, as alwyas be open for those who wish to join and enjoy the house, land and envoirment. BUT, we needed to find a system that is balanced for us and those who wish to come. Soooo............ :)
  
  1- IF YOU HAVE YOUR OWN PLACE IN YOUR VAN, you are welcome """almost""" whenever you want, lets just say you have preference because we have limited amount of beds. If we do not need your help, you could still join if the time is right- just confirm by sending a message.
  
  2- WE HAVE A LOOSE RULE OF "ONE WEEK TEST" period before we commit to extending for further time. We now have some people who stayed for +2months and its awesome, but we have a lot of people asking in advance if they can stay for months at a time, which is great, but lets see if we like each other before we commit to a longer relationship. :)
  
  3- WORK HOURS HERE ARE MORE FLEXIBLE than other workawayers, we have less work as we still developing the land, but we have a lot of space for a lot of people between 2 rooms in the house, a big caravan by the house, a caravan upstairs in the land, and a van that is adapted for sleeping.
  
  4- Food, electricity, water is our only expenses that vary from month to month. Apart from the internet and rent that is fixed. The more people we have, more water, electricity and food is needed. We have a limit in expenses so IF you can contribute somehow for your expense if you are planning on staying on longer term, then it is easier for us to accept more people.
  
  So... Now I feel I have communicated the most important parts.
  Speak to you soon. :)
