Description
Hi, we live in a small cortijo with our 4 dogs and 6 cats (rescues) in the mountains, 25 minutes drive from the coast of Almunecar in the province of Granada. We are looking for someone/ or a couple (as the guesthouse needs to be shared) who would like to spend some time in this beautiful rural ! area and could in exchange help us with some general maintenance, gardening, go for walks with our dogs etc. As we are busy with work, we would prefer someone/a couple that is hands on, quite independent and enjoys the outdoors in a rural setting. We can of course show you the lively town and spanish lifestyle from time to time. We would be happy to learn about gardening from you and we can help you improve your Spanish or English

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We offer to spend some time in a very relaxing and beautiful area in the mountains which is great for hikes, cycling or just relax at the beach or our pool, i would like travellers to get to know the beautiful area we live in, if interested travellers can be involved in animal rescue, and get to know the vibrant spanish lifestyle and learning the language if wanted.
Help
We would welcome some help in our busy lives ( work, maintenance, animals :-)) . Depending wishes and skills you can choose from different yobs. We are open for ideas and learning about projects in our garden like growing fruits and vegetables. As it is an older building there will always be some maintenance needed like painting work,, no big building projects. Our rescue dogs can be taken out for walks in the mountains were we live and they love to be being brushed.

Boomer
Boomer is the most appreciative rescue dog that has been in foster with us for many years untill we adopted him. It would break ours and his heart to be abandoned one more time. We could not place him with little children as he can still be a bit unpredictable. We know when to stop stroking him. He is the sweetest boy and wont leave your side. From the walks, he mostly like the part when we go home again. He loves to do crazy cuddles but do not try to cut his nails :-)
Bella
Bella is the sweetest podenco/border collie cross, loves to run and play. She is always looking for a way to please you and is very humble
Max
Our big baby boy. Max is very energetic and loves the whole world and thinks they love him too. Very sweet and affectionate but also the boss in the house and takes care of everything, a big protector
Reina
Reina is our rescue queen. As she is a spanish mastin , she is very stubbern, big (65 kilo) but loves attention , cuddles and brushing. A real diva!
