  Description

  We just have arranged a “new” space for accomodation, so, we can take people for some days, otherwise if people are traveling by CAMPER VAN is possible too.
  
  Important!!!
  
  Between 11/8/25 to 17/8/25 we are away on holidays and can not take anybody from workaway... sorry, it's just one week.
  
  So, there is a Bedroom with a doble bed (you can check photos) and a doble bed in the living room. Like a sofa or couch.
  
  We are a family living about 40' or 35km away from Barcelona, in a little town called Vacarisses, in a neighbourhood quite isolated from town. We have 3 dogs and a cat. We are arranging our house. Vegans and not vegans are welcome (we use to cook two diets).
  
  The house was build around the 60-70's, and it has about 700, almost 800m2 of garden, we already arranged the first floor and the second floor (where we currently live).
  
  We've many crazy dogs, which are sociable with people.
  
  We'd like to host people that understand what does it means solidarity, arranging and mantaining a house, we don't mind about age, nacionality or gender.
  
  We can't accept people with animals like dogs, because we allready have got 3…Sorry about that. Anyway, it depends of the dog... maybe is possible... i don't know for sure.
  
  We'll feel glad to show you Montserrat mountains and other places of Catalonia, like Barcelona.
  
  There is the option to eat vegan food or not (Mireia is not vegan, but Oriol it is).
  
  VERY IMPORTANT! WE FEEL GLAD TO EXPLAIN THAT WE’VE GOT A BABY WHO NOWADAYS IS NEARLY 4 MONTHS, SHE IS ANOTHER REASON BECAUSE WE NEED SOME NEW HELP.
  
  Internet is fine.
  
  There is a swimming pool in the garden.
  
  Thanks for reading us,
  
  Mireia, Oriol and Elna.
