    Description

    My sister and I are renovating our house and would love to share the experience with some adventurous travellers.

    My sister, Ane, is a social worker and lives nearby with Goa, our labrador. The both of them will show you the best places to eat, walk, drink... Ane knows where all the good parties are and best spots to enjoy local beers.

    Myself, Javi, I'm a digital nomad working remotely. I spend half of my time in the area surfing and enjoying the nature in between meeting meetings. The rest of the time i'm doing DIY and crafty improvements. I'll show you the impressive nature we have in here!!!

    The house is 5mins away from stunning beaches and hikes. You can see the Pyrenees in the background too, so pretty easy to go and explore the mountains too.

    We'd like to give you as much freedom as possible. We'll stay sometimes in the house, but mostly you will have the entire house for yourself.
