Help
We are mainly looking for help with our gardening and maintenance help.
There is always a lot to do, restore, paint walls or wood, repair, clean, throw away the rubbish, organize, take care of the garden, cut hedges, cut the grass, make flower beds, build something...
We don't need help with languages, nor with children, nor with agriculture (we don't do it), nor with animals. (We don't have)
Meals or food are not included.
We ask for 15 hours a week. It can be 3 hours a day (each person) and the weekend is free. We are flexible.
Minimum 1 week, but can take much longer.

Accommodation
What we offer is a cozy 10 square meter plot, with kitchen, bathroom inside.
With internet, heating. Private space outside, for two volunteers.
There is a public bus but the ideal is to have your own car.
What else ...
Vila do Bispo is small and quiet but has almost everything, from a supermarket, post office, bank, health centre, cultural centre, pharmacy and everything is within walking distance. Our house is a 5-minute walk from the center.
We can lend you a bike and give you a ride to Sagres or Lagos but when we go there. There is a bus station in the village (5 minutes on foot).
CULTURE
The Algarve has a very multicultural vibe, people from all over the world live here, the most spoken language is English and we get a lot of tourism. You will meet people from many different countries and cultures.
You can learn to surf, or do any of the endless outdoor possibilities here, such as:
Stand-up-paddle, bike, kite surfing, windsurfing, hiking, trekking, climbing, paragliding, horseback riding, etc.
