    Description

    Casa en una zona de montaña, con unos 2000m de terreno. Orientación sur, mucho sol.
    Tengo unas pocas gallinas que me proporcionan huevos para autoconsumo, un gato, un perro.
    Las vistas desde la casa y alrededores son espectaculares, probablemente de lo mejorcito de Europa. Bosque autóctono (haya, roble..) y montañas.
    La zona es perfecta para quien disfrute con el senderismo, subiendo a picos , avistando animales salvajes, estudiando la flora o disfrutando del interior del bosque.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I can teach Spanish and would like to learn to speak Italian, French, or Portuguese. If you play music, you're especially welcome. I'd teach you guitar or percussion, or you teach me, depending on your level. I like playing music with people. I'd help you get around the area with my car, keeping us organized, on your days off. There would be days when I wouldn't be home; you'd have to help me by feeding my cat and chickens. I've worked for years as a volunteer in Spain and England; I think I know what it takes to be happy. I like being alone. I like company.

    Puedo enseñar español y me gustaría aprender a hablar italiano, francés o portugués
    Si tocas música eres especialmente bienvenido. Te enseñaría guitarra o percusión o tú a mí, depende de tu nivel. Me gusta tocar música con gente.
    Te ayudaría a moverte por la zona con mi coche, organizándonos bien, en tus días libres.
    Habría días en los que yo no estaría en la casa, tendrías que ayudarme dando de comer a mi gato y a las gallinas.
    Trabajé años como voluntario en España e Inglaterra, creo saber qué se necesita para estar a gusto.
    Me gusta estar sólo. Me gusta la compañía.

    Help

    I need help creating and maintaining a vegetable garden for personal consumption. Mowing, tilling, and planting. Part of the help will be done by hand and part with an electric tiller. The growing area will need to be fenced to protect it from the chickens (sharpening wooden posts, digging a hole to bury them with a mallet, and nailing down wire mesh). Three hours of help in exchange for room and board.

    Necesito ayuda en la creación y mantenimiento de una huerta para autoconsumo. Segar, trabajar la tierra, plantar.
    Parte del trabajo se hará a mano y parte con motoazada eléctrica.
    Habría que cerrar la zona de cultivo para protegerla de las gallinas (afilar postes de madera, cavar un agujero para enterrarlas con un mazo, clavarles malla de metal).
    3 horas de trabajo a a cambio de una habitación y la manutención.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    Ofrezco una habitación con vistas al monte. Habitación totalmente rústica: una cama, una silla, una mesa, todo ello madera y piedra, un buen rincón para alguien con mentalidad minimalista.
    Lógicamente proporciono las comidas, pero cada cual se prepara su menú.
    Prefiero personas vegetarianas, pero no soy extremista..

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    There's no cell phone coverage in the house, so if you can't live without screens, it's best not to come. No smoking inside. The nearest bus stop is about 7 km away (Gijón and Oviedo are about an hour and a quarter away). The nearest bar is about 3 km away. Within reason, I'd help you with my car. There are short and long trails that start from the village.

    En la casa no hay cobertura, así que si no puedes vivir sin pantallas mejor no vengas.
    No fumar dentro de casa.
    La parada de autobús más cercana está a unos 7 Km (Gijón y Oviedo más o menos a una hora y cuarto). El bar más cercano, a unos 3Km. Dentro de lo razonable yo te ayudaría con mi coche.
    Hay senderos de pequeño y largo recorrido que parten desde la aldea.
