DIY and building projects
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are an English couple living in Spain - We are both learning Spanish and would appreciate practice in Spanish conversation - but would be happy to help you with your English as well.
We love cooking and would be happy to share meals in the evening and have a dog called Rosie who we like to take out running, climbing and mountaineering whenever we can.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
We are doing a refurbishment project on a house in Vilanova i la Geltrú. The next tasks coming up are to strip paint off old beams, strip wall paper, painting and other general tasks etc.
We also have a lovely dog - Rosie- so you must be comfortable with animals! There might be times when you could help out walking her but this is not essential.

What else ...
We live in a town called Vilanova i la Geltru which is 40 minutes on the train from Barcelona, 20 minutes from Sitges, 1 hour from Tarragona. You can arrive in the Catalan pyrennees by public transport in about 2.5 hours and you have amazing road biking and nice running from our house. There is also excellent climbing near by if you have a car. Vilanova is a fishing town with a lively vibe and nice restaurants. Our house is 1.6km from the sea.
