  Description

  Looking for help anytime... :-)
  
  We are an easy going German/English combination couple who have bought an "aldea entera" which translates to "entire village" of 5/6 houses (I must add that it doesn't have a pub, shop and post office etc), more like it a tiny hamlet with some ruins.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We want to turn the "little village" into some form of rural tourism, the property is about 25 minutes from Viveiro on the north coast of Galicia, the area is very rural but with good access and beautiful... some Spanish could be useful but not essential.
  
  This is a great opportunity for those who would like to learn or improve their Spanish, learn to cook and enjoy Vegan food along with healthy living, we also have our own gym onsite which is great for working out, yoga or just chilling.
  
  note: we don't eat meat and therefore don't cook meat or use dairy products, we are not vegan as we eat sometimes fish and honey. We care about our food intake so all our food is made from scratch ie no processed meals!

  What else ...

  Our place here is in the "campo" in the countryside, our nearest neighbours are about 500 metres away and are very sweet. We have a bar in either direction and both are around 4k away, A car or own transport would be useful for exploring/shopping etc. Viveiro is the nearest large seaside town and takes around 25 minutes by car. Also, Ferrol can be reached in 45 minutes, A Coruna in 90 minutes. There are many places of interest to explore but the best of all is the nature and tranquillity :-)
