    Workaway Note : Please contact this host in Spanish

    Hello. I am a person who lives alone in a cabin in the country, in Madrid in the Alcarria, with two donkeys, two puppies, chickens and bee hives. I also recently fixed another cabin 100 meters from the one I live in, and it seems to me a waste that it is empty, this would be the one that you would use. I also have a vegetable garden and a small swimming pool. My philosophy of life is based on degrowth and sustainability, returning to nature and moving away from capitalist consumption.


    Hola. Soy una persona que vivo sola en una cabaña en el campo, en Madrid en la alcarria, con dos burros, dos perritos, gallinas y colmenas de abejas. También arregle hace poco otra cabaña a 100 metros de la que yo habito, y me parece un desperdicio que este vacía, seria esta la que vosotros utilizaríais. Tengo también un huerto y una pequeña piscina. Mi filosofia de vida esta basada en el decrecimiento y la sostenibilidad, volver a la naturaleza y alejarnos del consumo capitalista. Por lo tanto el lugar es para personas que estén preparadas a vivir con poco.

    Help

    Three hours, but I need the person to remain at the farm as a guard.

    I need someone to look after the farm when I'm working away. This includes help in the vegetable garden, feeding the donkeys, cleaning the stable, general maintenance, cooking (if you know how), and walking the dogs. Keep in mind that it's a large mastiff, so you need to know how to handle it. We'll hold regular meetings to discuss everyone's needs and reach agreements so that everyone is happy. We'll see what we can come up with.

    Necesito que alguien cuide la granja cuando yo trabajo fuera ayuda en el huerto, dar de comer a los burros, limpiar la cuadra, mantenimiento general, cocinar si sabes, pasear a los perros, hay que tener en cuenta que es un perro mastín grande y hay que saber manejarlo.
    Haremos asambleas periodicas para ver las necesidades mutuas y llegar a acuerdos para que todo el mundo este contento.
    Ya veremos, lo que se nos ocurra.

    Accommodation

    We will provide you with simple vegetarian meals for you to cook for yourself. Your accommodation is a 4x6 meter open-plan cabin with bunk beds, a kitchenette and refrigerator, a container of drinking water (there is no running water), a wood-burning stove that you will need to light, and a solar lamp for the night. There is also a composting toilet. In the other cabin where I live alone, located 100 meters away, I have a toilet, shower, water, and everything else you might need. We are vegetarians. Our property, where both cabins are located, is 2 km from the nearest town. There, I have another house with more amenities and hot water. There is a bus stop 1.5 km away.
