Description
Hi. I live in a cortijo in Andalucía. I have dogs, cats and goats and always need someone to look after the place if I am not here, like: feeding the cats, watering the plants, letting the dogs out, etc.. Please, contact me if you are interested. We are near small towns but don't have any neighbours nearby. Give thanks. Laura

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are a multicultural setting who are happy about giving advice about travelling, developing skills and learning new languages. Food preparation can be part of this, if required by the workaway.

Help
I would need the workaway to be here during my absence, making sure the animals are safe and fed. I am always within reach on WhatsApp, even if going abroad. The property has electricity, running water and wifi. You do not need to speak Spanish. I speak fluent English, French, Italian and Spanish.

Accommodation
The cortijo is partly renovated and the living area has a kitchen/common room and two bedrooms. There is a large log burner to keep the house toasting hot in the winter and also to warm up the water for a camping shower. We also use composting toilets. There are other outbuildings and animal quarters. Meals can be prepared on request (vegetarian) or a camping stove can be provided if workaway enjoys cooking.

What else ...
A car or bike is advisable due to short distance to nearest village (5kms). Other towns are reachable by bus but service is scarce (twice a day), i.e. Baza, Almería, Puerto Lumbreras.
