Description
--- Short term, last-minute stay in Sierra Nevada, Spain in July/August ---
Hi there, I moved to Spain 10 years ago and with my (now) 15 year old boy. As I'm preparing some new projects, at this time I can only host Workawayers with specific skills to help me in those:
- DIY/handy(wo)man to fix and improve some things around the house, combined with some other tasks (to be discussed)
You will have plenty of free time to work on your own projects, go out yourself or to just enjoy the region, the sun and the mountains. My boy is very energetic, and he easily adapts to new people and is very outgoing. Between us we speak Spanish but I also speak English, Dutch, some French and a bit of Portuguese. My son speaks Spanish, and English.
We have 2 cats and 1 dog.
Please note that most feedbacks are from over 5 years ago, when I was living in a different place. -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
- Language exchange: I'm fluent in English and Spanish and Dutch is my native language.
- Cultural exchange: sometimes I like to do excursions or small trips during the weekend and you are welcome to join. And there's also plenty to visit during your free time. -

Help
I usually work from home (or any place nearby with an internet connection).
While I've mostly had more long-term Workawayers in the past, I can currently only accommodate a short-term stay. -

Accommodation
Individual room with a single beds (with an additional sleep). In total I have room for at least 4 people (me and my boy included), but I prefer to have guests who are coming alone or single parents like me.
Bathroom, shared living room and kitchen. Wifi. Location in the centre of a beautiful village in the mountains close to Granada. Shops, bars and restaurants on walking distance and the village is authentic Spanish and lively. The location is great for hiking and the Sierra Nevada ski station is only 25 min away (by car).
Direct bus connection to Granada. You can also use my bike to explore the area (but remember I live in the mountains!) -

He has been a great help with Javi. My son really enjoyed the time spent together and was sad when he left. Pablo is really flexible, responsible and helpful. It was easy to organize things and communicate.
He also helped me a lot around the house. I can definitely recommend Pablo to any … read more

I spent 2 months in this relaxing and wonderful place.
Caroline's flat is in front of the beach so I could do long walks every day.
Javi is a smart, energetic and kind little boy. And he loves football.
Caroline was very kind to accept me as I could speak a world of Spanish.

As the others said Carolina is very kind, friendly, generous, understanding... She is also a super great cook! Plus, she loves sport, music and language-exchanges. It was such a pleasure to … read more
Her son Javi is a very particular child. You need to be able to set and maintain firm boundaries with him from the beginning and he will respect that.
I also admire how she managed to really make the most of the time with us, to also explore the area :-)
Javi is a really smart, lively and well-behaved boy. Caroline is a gracious host that makes you feel very welcome at her home. There's plenty of time to explore the area, which is stunning.
Highest possible recommendation!
The place is great because is literally 30 seconds walk from the beach and is right … read more
Her boy is active (as she describes in her profile) but he adapts very well to new people and situations, listens very well when you go out with him to the beach, playing ground,... is polite. He's … read more
