    Workaway note: Please contact this host in Spanish

    Hello, we are a family of five: Juliana, Ricardo, Leo y Onix. (Leo y Onix

    are a very affectionate and quite spoiled cats :) ) We are vegetarians, we live on a farm 6 km away from the town, where you can see the sunrise and sunset, a 360 degree landscape.
    Juli is currently studying Psychology and is the best cook! she's very curious about learning different things, specially new recipes and she is the best when you need healing the body and mind through the food. I (Ricardo) work in an office in Marinilla. I am in love with cats, nature specially water and piano so it will be a plus if you are interested in teaching me :)

    We enjoy a lot getting to know new people and having a nice cultural exchange

    We have started a veggie garden a few years ago and is becoming bigger and bigger so we need and extra hand now to keep working on it. We want to go towards being almost self-sufficient with our food so now we have a tasty variety of veggies and few fruits. Parallel to this project we are also growing native species of trees so in a few years maybe have a little forest next to us.

    Hola, somos una familia compuesta por Ricardo, Juliana, Leo y Merlín (Leo
    y Merlín son gatos muy cariñosos y mimados), somos vegetarianos, vivimos en un finca a 6 km del pueblo, en la cual puedes ver el amanecer y la puesta del sol, un paisaje de 360 grados.

    Juli actualmente es estudiante de Psicología y es la mejor cocinera. Ella es muy curiosa y siempre está tratando de aprender nuevas cosas, especialmente nuevas recetas y es la mejor cuando necesitas sanar tu cuerpo y mente a través de la comida. Yo (Ricardo) trabajo en una oficina en Marinilla, Me encantan los gatos, la naturaleza y disfruto mucho el agua. También soy amante del piano entonces sería un plus si estás interesad@ en enseñarme :)

    Disfrutamos mucho poder conocer nuevas personas y tener un agradable intercambio cultural.

    Empezamos nuestro huerto hace unos años y ahora se está volviendo cada vez más grande, por lo que necesitamos un par de manos extra para seguir trabajando en el. Queremos llegar a ser casi autosuficientes con nuestra comida por lo que en este momento tenemos una sabrosa variedad de verduras y algunas frutas. Paralelamente a este proyecto también estamos cultivando especies nativas de árboles para que en unos años tal vez tengamos un pequeño mini bosque a nuestro lado.
