Help
We are looking for 1 or 2. People. In summer, May - October my wife is in Spain most of the time. I try to grow food, as well as it goes. I made a greenhouse, gardens etc. Still adding, still thinking. I need to take care of the 3 horses, 1 mare 21 y. With skin problems, 1 Spanish gelding, 16 y. Portugese gelding 11 y. I work both from the ground and ridden when i have time.
To make a long story short, it is a great place to be but much work by myself. If there was someone who could share my pleasure and my burden at times, i think that could be a good thing.

Accommodation
We have a small caravan stationed. I will attach a floor and a tent and this makes a great place to stay. We stayed in it for a month before we could move into the house.
What else ...
This is my first time here and I am a bit apprehensive. I am looking for someone to stay bit longer time, 3/4 weeks or so if things fit personally.
Specially around the animals I have a set of rules and regulations that you will have to follow. It is not difficult. Only natural. It is very quiet here, so you have to like that. You have to be at least positive towards cannabis. We do not use tobacco. We are not injected and are very much opposed to all that comes from that side. Freedom fighters welcome.
