Description
We are a spanish/german couple with two daughters of almost five and seven years, living in a beautiful house surrounded by nature and with an incredible view on the Atlantic ocean in El Hierro, Canary Islands. Alvaro is a documentary filmaker and Carmela has studied psychology and cultural anthropology but both of us are nowadays self-employed, managing a business of leather bags and in the real estate business. Alvaro is a paragliding pilot. We both like to dive, hike, go to the sea and enjoy as much as we can this beautiful island. We are rebuilding a fantastic property in Las Playas with low budget and need many hands to help!
