Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We have been living in northern Spain for 3 and a half years and moved to Galicia about 18 months ago. (We spent the first year in Laguardia, Alava, Pais Vasco and the second near Ribadesella in Asturias.) Our property consists of two houses, one of which is a rural hotel, the other a small wooden house where we live. Both houses are equipped with fiber internet. The property sits on about a half hectare of land.
We have learned a lot about the area hosting guests in the hotel. We enjoy sharing our discoveries with others and in turn hearing about their discoveries. The people here are very welcoming and friendly and, of course, the wine is amazing! -
Help
We are presently looking to host workawayers for one week stays. The workaway would consist of 2 hours of work a day for 5 days in exchange for a private room with private bath for 7 nights. We are currently re-landscaping several areas around the property, so gardening and landscaping are always welcome skills!
We have cats and chickens so we will also be looking for house sitters when we go out of town. -

Accommodation
The accommodation will include a private room with private bath, access to a kitchen, plus access to a multi-purpose room which could be used as a conference room for digital nomads. A welcome and farewell meal will be offered, but volunteers will need to provide for all other meals.

What else ...
The property is surrounded by vineyards and beautiful views of the Minho River and Portugal. We are a 30 minute drive to Tui/Valenca, 45 minutes to Vigo, an hour to either Ourense or Pontevedra, and 2 hours to Porto or Santiago de Compostela. We are also a 10 minute drive to Portugal, close to the medieval villages of Melgaço and Monçao. Having a car would be useful, but not necessary as the village of Arbo is a 30 minute walk from the house and there are trains and buses available to the above mentioned cities.

Oscar
Oscar is a young and very affection purr machine. He spends most of his time sleeping and being adorable.
Whiskey
Whiskey, like his name implies, can be trouble. But, the good kind (like his name implies). He is the best hunter of our cats and though he is shy he can be quite affectionate when he feels like it.
Charlie

I was fortunate enough that we did so many of the tasks together, so we could talk and joke around, getting to know each other better as we did yard work. The tasks were simple and easy to carry out. We … read more
