Description
We are on a small farm on the west side at the mountains of the beautiful and peaceful island La Palma, Canarias Islands.
I am not a business-host, i have a small farm, and need help for the animals and garden.
Wonderful sea and mountain-views, and lots of nice walking-paths around.
We have 3 icelandic horses, 2 dogs, 1 cat and a eco-garden with some vegetables and diferent fruit-trees.
