We love pottering on the land , 10 wild and untamed hectares,, with a view to promoting self sufficiency and organic produce as far as is possible.

Help
We have a 400 year old cortijo in the countryside which has been restored and at the moment we are looking for help with land maintenance, strimming and cutting meadow grass and gardening around the house. We are also in the process of cutting down some invasive bushes and generally tidying up the land, which is a mamoth annual task as we have over 10 hectares. The current work however, is general gardening and clearing the areas around the house. No really heavy work involved, Due to the heat at this time of year, we expect to start work early in the morning before the heat of the day, at around 7am and work till midday. After that free time is given and workawayers can enjoy the pool area at the property.
