  • Description

    Description

    We're a British couple who live in a town called Velez-Malaga which is about 50km to the east of Malaga. We are a family of six including our son (who is 11), an old Spanish Water Dog, a rabbit and a hamster.

    We have a digital marketing company with clients in the UK. We fell in love with Spain more than 20 years ago, when we met in Granada while studying. We have renovated a listed townhouse in the historic centre of Velez-Malaga. When we have some free time we like to go walking into the mountains, hang out at the beach, watch movies and generally enjoy our house and town.

    Velez-Malaga is the 'real' Andalucia. An insight to the daily routine and customs of the Southern Spanish. There will be ferias and fiestas in and around the town which is a cultural experience. We have many Spanish history books in English as well as a back catalogue of Spanish films.

    We are a busy family who are looking for trusted people or person to look after our dog, rabbit, hamster and plants while we're away during the summer months (June - September).
    We have a hobby website on Velez-Malaga so if there's someone who would like to gain some experience managing the social channels, creating content and updating the website then we can consider this too.
