I am Julia & I live with my husband Ian and our 3 cats, goldfish, & 14 chickens. We live in a very pretty part of Spain where most of the locals are Spanish with just a smattering of English expats.
We have a lovely house with land containing about 100 olive trees and a few fruit trees too.
We would like help with gardening, weeding cleaning, cooking and general maintenance around the property.
We are particularly looking for couples to help with our olive harvest between December and February.
Unfortunately we will not accept vegetarians or vegans.
We encourage the workaways to live with us as a family, joining us for meals at times convenient to all. All food and beverages are included and we do a weekly shop together to ensure that all tastes are catered for. We encourage workaways to get involved in the planning, cooking and clearing away of all meals. We are also open to new ideas and suggestions for different ideas.
We expect 4-5 hours work a day and the rest of the day will be free. On a weekly basis, two days off a week are given during which all meals are still provided.
We are looking to host workaways for two weeks at a time.
Please note that we do not accept unvaccinated travellers.

Very pretty area with lots of areas to walk. Sax has a lovely castle and many shops bars, restaurants and a weekly local market.
