    Description

    We are a gay couple. Álvaro is Spanish, and Cliff is Irish. A year ago, we bought a large house in Galicia, near Santiago de Compostela, to live surrounded by nature and be self-sufficient. It's a project we're working on alone, and we could use a little help with the vegetable garden, the garden, cleaning, and cooking. If you'd like to spend some time with us, you won't regret it. We offer your own room, bathroom, and three meals a day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We have a dog, Samhain, a very affectionate German Shepherd, and a very mischievous cat, Lughnasa. We live surrounded by nature, next to a wonderful forest and river. The nearest town is 8 km away. We have a cinema, supermarkets, pharmacies, and a health center very close by. With our few neighbors, we form a great community.

    Somos una pareja gay. Álvaro, español y Cliff Irlandés. Hace un año nos compramos una casa grande en Galicia, cerca de Santiago de Compostela para vivir en la naturaleza y poder ser autosuficientes. Es un proyecto que estamos llevando a cabo solos y nos vendría bien alguna pequeña ayuda en la huerta, el jardín, la limpieza y la cocina. Si te apetece pasar una temporada con nosotros no te arrepentirás. Te ofrecemos tu propia habitación, baño y tres comidas al día: desayuno, almuerzo y cena. Tenemos un perro, Samhain, pastor alemán, muy cariñoso. Y una gata, lughnasa, muy traviesa.
    Vivimos en plena naturaleza, al lado de un bosque y de un río maravillosos. La población más cercana está a 8km. Tenemos cine, supermercados, farmacias, centro de salud, muy cerca de nosotros. Con nuestros pocos vecinos formamos una gran comunidad.
