Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We live in a quiet area only a 5 minute drive from a small and beautiful sea side town, if you don't have transport you could stroll to the beach about 45/60 mins and the lane is fairly flat, or we have two bicycles available, however, if we were going down to the the beach ourselves we would obviously take you in the car with us!!
As individuals we have traveled extensively during our time together, we love to meet new people and share stories and we are happy to pass on our life and work experiences as well, and of course there is always help with English language on a daily basis.
We are great believers in giving and helping anyone in need and encouraging others to try new things and think and act for themselves in both a work environment and also in the family home.
Help
We have a fairly large house with an annex apartment which we have been working on but is more or less finished now.
However, we are still looking for help with the new renovations to come. We have started updating the main property (guest room) and there maybe some cementing, digging, and cleaning up in the basement, also, some painting here and there around the property.
We also have a small plot of land at the back of the property that needs some attention and inspiration!
No fear, there will be liter jobs like house cleaning, looking after the plants and keeping the terraces swept and clean, and walking the dog.
We hope to find people who are adaptable and willing, but definitely need for them to be motivated.
We are always open to suggestions on the help needed, we work well together and also with others, we appreciate extra help and input, but take nothing or no one for granted.

Very happy to exchange languages.
Accommodation
You will have your own private space, either in the annex apartment (depending on guests) or the top room in the main house, which is en-suite.
Your meals will be provided etc, and items like shower gel/shampoo/towels will be available to you. However, if you want something off the menu or extra personal items they are down to you .
What else ...
The beautiful little town of Castell de Ferro is a bustling fishing town and is known for its long beaches (pebbled) and clear waters of Andalusia. There are plenty of bars and restaurants, shops and local supermarkets etc, however, we often go to a larger town (Motril) for a 'big' shop, so if you wanted to stay there exploring, there is a good bus service back to Castell de Ferro.
Other than that, we are fairly close to Granada and Malaga and there are several ways to get around (ie.buses or bla bla car) on your free time.
