  Description

  We are a family of three. We live in a house in the countryside near Figueres, Costa Brava, Catalonia.
  
  We like to share our free time with people from other countries. We need between 1 and 3 hours a day, between doing some housework, cooking, some gardening and taking care of the little one. Nothing very complicated and little physical effort. We have a European sleeping and eating schedule. We have dinner at 6-6:30 p.m. We are used to sharing only dinners with our guests.
  
  We live in an ideal place to connect with nature or make a tourist visit during free days or hours not required. We want couples or ideally families so that you are accompanied in your free time.

  Help

  We ask little of you, apart from collaborating in house cleaning tasks, cooking, being with the girl or a little gardening. All very simple. We can NOT offer you food, it is at your expense (only asking 15 hrs help per week). Although we can prepare meals together in the main house. The house works with a limited solar system. Most of the time we have no light or electricity. We have wifi in the main house.
