  Description

  Hello! We are a friendly family with two grown children, a spacious house in the countryside, and a vegetables garden. Our home is located right on the Camino de Santiago (St. Jacque's Way), in the heart of the beautiful vineyard region of El Bierzo (León, Northwest of Spain).
  
  We are beginning to develop our garden using regenerative agriculture, and we would love some help and motivation to keep improving. Since kids are now studying and working away from home, we need an extra pair of hands

  Hola! Somos una familia con dos hijos, una casa en el campo y una huerta. Nuestra casa está en el Camino de Santiago y en el medio de la preciosa zona de viñedos del Bierzo (León). Queremos cultivar la huerta en agricultura regenerativa. Los chicos ahora están trabajando y estudiando fuera de casa y hace falta ayuda con la poda de los frutales, la huerta, la leña y el desbroce. Crece mucho la hierba aquí!. Nuestra zona ofrece paisajes maravillosos, rutas de montaña muy bonitas y muy cerca, y ríos con playas fluviales divertidísimas.
