Help us with our olive trees, gardening, cooking and cleaning near Alicante in Spain

Description

I am Julia & I live with my husband Ian and our 3 cats, goldfish, & 5 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 and help with the horses.

We are particularly looking for couples to help with our olive harvest between December and February.

Unfortunately we will not accept vegetarians or vegans.
