  • Description

    Description

    I live with my little boy, 2 very friendly dogs and a cat in Benajarafe, a very small village on the coast of Malaga. We are a 10 minute walk from the beach with a bus connection to nearby towns. It is a peaceful area, perfect for somebody looking to disconnect from city life. This opportunity would suit an independent person who would be happy living with a sometimes noisy four year old but also enjoys their own space and doing their own thing!

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    This is a lovely side of Malaga to visit, still unspoilt by tourism but close enough to the city to visit or to reach other areas of Andalucía. We speak mainly English at home.

    I am English and tend to speak English at home with my son, however he is learning both and speaks a confusing mix! I am happy to speak Spanish with someone who wants to practice though

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    I have a spare room downstairs, usually used as an office but is available for guests or workawayers. There is a shower room next to it. Workawayers would share food as the help needed will be 20-25 hours a week but you can obviously eat meals when you wish.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    We have quite a quiet lifestyle so this is ideal for somebody that wants to disconnect and enjoy nature and slow living. You will have many days off to do your own thing and visit other areas. There is a limited daily bus service to Malaga city centre.
