Description
Hi, we are a Dutch couple that moved to Spain because of our big hobby, paragliding. We live in a nice rural villa near a big lake surrounded by mountains in the Grazalema area. We have 4 dogs and 6 cats (rescues) and are about 10 minutes drive from El Gastor/ Algodonales in the province of Cadiz. The nearest airports are Seville, Jerez de la Frontera or Malaga. We are looking for real outdoor lovers who would like to spend some time in this beautiful rural area in the mountains, and could in exchange take care of our lovely animals. It is possible to do all kinds of outdoorsports and we will show you around and tell you about all the possible activities. Our knowledge of the area and paragliding experience of 28 years could be a good addition to serve pilots who would like to visit the area for flying but we welcome anyone who is interested. When we are not travelling, we have an independant house available for you to stay in the towncenter of Algodonales. Here you can discover the real Andalusian lifestyle between the locals.

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!
