Hello :D
Right now we need help getting ready for summer and during the summer!
The help mainly involves looking after our 6-year-old, especially on weekends when I'm very busy at the bar! Creative play is also needed, including when there are other children in town, and being prepared for conflict resolution, as we're working hard on his tantrums!
When Taiel isn't here, help with maintenance tasks is appreciated: painting chairs, shelling hazelnuts, picking apples, etc. Help with shopping once a week is also appreciated! We offer all the food you need, and we expect you to usually prepare your own meals, except when you're looking after Taiel, in which case I'll cook!
In the apartment, you'll have your own bedroom. The living room has a double sofa bed where we slept when we lived in Tozu, so we'll share the kitchen and bathroom!
If you're proactive about what tasks might be needed and enjoy listening to the neighbors' stories, come join us! :D
You don't have to do everything; we can discuss the tasks you'd be most comfortable with! The village is very small and sparsely populated, so a couple is ideal for better organization and to fully enjoy the experience!
Let's talk, and we hope to see you there!

Buenas :D
Ahora mismo necesitamos ayuda preparando para verano y en verano!
La ayuda es principalmente cuidar al peque de 6 años especialmente los fines de semana cuando estoy muy ocupada en el bar!! Juegos creativos incluyendo cuando hay otros niños en el pueblo y estar preparados para la resolución de conflictos, ya que estamos trabajando fuertemente con sus rabietas!
Cuando Taiel no está, ayuda con tareas de mantenimiento; pintar sillas, pelar avellanas, recoger manzanas... Se aprecia tambien y ayuda con las compras 1 vez a la semana!
Os ofrecemos toda la comida que considereis y esperamos normalmente os preparais a vosotros mismos, excepto los cuando cuidais a Taiel que yo cocino!
En el apartamento tendreis vuestra propia habitacion, el salón tiene un sofá cama doble donde dormimos nosotros cuando vivimos en Tozu, así que compartimos la cocina y el baño!
Si tienes iniciativa para ver que tareas pueden hacer falta y puedes disfrutar de escuchar las historias de los vecinos, ventee :D
No hace falta hacer todo, podemos hablar de las tareas con las que os sentís mas agusto! El pueblo es muy pequeño y casi no tiene gente asi que una pareja es ideal para poder organizaros mejor y disfrutar de la experiencia!
Hablamos y os esperamos!

A different way of living!! Isolated and inmerse in the mountains with difficult access. Learn as we do about growing our own crops and reconnecting with nature. You will find some peace and quiet if you wish or come to the village where we run a little bar and get the real rural Asturias and North of Spain! If we have spare time we can visit secret Asturian places :) Tell us, what would you like to get in exchange?

Private room with lovely mountain views in and apartment on top of the bar. Shared shower room and kitchen. Internet sccess and any food you need to cook for yourself!
When in Los Pandos (our home)
At home: Caravan up in the mountain with nice views, it is old but keeps dry and warm! It is at the top of our garden about 50 metres up and has no internet. You can always access the house for internet and bathroom :D
Mind here there are no services or shops. The closest shops are in Infiesto 20 minute drive from Tozu.
What else ...
We live in an isolated spot, activities such as caving, rock (and tree) climbing, trekking are possible in these wild mountainous surroundings.
We speak both English and Spanish so if you'd like to practice a foreign language we can help you.
We are 20 minutes drive from town and we usually go down few times a week.

She was very good with our 5 year old, playing, talking, taking him for walks...
It was also good to see how much interest she showed and enjoyed everything we did at home and at work.
