    Description

    Hello!

    We are Carla (35), Miguel (34) born in Catalonia and Quetzal (6m/o) already Asturian. When we got pregnant we decided to move to this place on the map that has fascinated us; everything grows! Pure abundance of food and water.

    We were looking to live in a rural area, with a rhythm consistent with the welcome of a new life, in contact with nature and in the maximum possible tranquility and here we are :)

    Our house is very simple and beautiful, we have views of the Picos de Europa, a garden that needs a lot of help and a room that needs to be converted into a yoga shala.

    Miguel currently works full time and I work online and take care of the baby, so we could use a little extra help both with the housework and in the garden and preparing the living room.

    Hola!

    Somos Carla (35), Miguel (34) nacidos en Cataluña y Quetzal ( 6m/o) ya Asturiano. Cuando nos embarazamos decidimos mudarnos a este lugar del mapa que nos tiene fascinados; todo crece! Pura abundancia de alimento y agua.

    Buscábamos vivir en una zona rural, con un ritmo acorde del recibimiento de una nueva vida, en contacto con la naturaleza y en la máxima tranquilidad posible y aquí estamos :)

    Nuestra casa es muy sencilla y bonita, tenemos vistas a los Picos de Europa, un jardín que necesita mucha ayuda y una sala que acondicionar para convertirla en un yoga shala.

    Actualmente Miguel trabaja a tiempo completo y yo trabajo online y cuido del bebé, por lo que nos vendría muy bien un poco de ayuda extra tanto en las tareas domesticas como en la huerta y el acondicionamiento de la sala.
