Description
Hi my name is Amanda and i live in Orgiva in the South of Spain near to Granada. I m looking for people to help with Building and Landscaping projects at my place. I have a loving dog, a beautiful cat and a pond with frogs and fishes i often need somebody to take care of them as i like to travel and workaway at times.
15 years ago I purchased a ruin which is situated on top of a hill within a valley in an ECO village surrounded by almond and olive groves. The location offers 360 degree panoramic views of a natural landscape including the sierra Nevada mountain range. This is a continual and evolving project with re planting and creative design .
Situated in the Las Alpujarras region there are many picturesque mountain villages with surrounding waterfalls and mountain trails. However, the coast (Costa Tropical) is only 30 mins away if needing some beach time.
For this exchange i will ask for 20 hrs of help each week over the course of 4-5 days. I will provide healthy and nutritious vegetarian and raw cuisine as this is my profession and i will be happy to share my knowledge with those that are interested.
