Description
I am a native to Spain but worked in England for many years, I enjoy daily walks with my dog and enjoy playing my guitar and cooking. I am restoring my old house by a lake in Galicia Spain which will be my home. The house is almost complete with all utilities functioning. It would be great to have some help with the final details, and artistic ideas will be appreciated.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Enjoy a unique part of Spain. Galicia is heavenly place. There are Hiking ,Biking, Sailing, and swimming within walking distance. We are on the banks of the river next to the Nautical center at Castrelo de Mino. If you enjoy Pottery Blacksmithing, spinning and painting, all of these are practiced by my friend group locally. We are in a rural village setting but with bus and train service daily to Vigo and Ourense. The area has distinct Celtic roots and many festivals and monuments abound in the charming surroundings. There are also numerous hot springs to be enjoyed in the local area. In addition we are on one of the lesser known Camino's to Santiago, The Camino Minota Ribero. I speak fluent english and Spanish and can assist with language exchange.

Supo a poco y cuando quieran estarán más que bienvenidas
Fuimos acogidas estupendamente en las casi dos semanas que estuvimos en la casa/bar de Santi.
Lo pasamos muy bien en su compañía y en la de sus mascotas: Meiga su perra y una gatita. Nos recibió genial y nos hizo sentir como en casa en todo momento indicándonos y acercándonos a los lugares de interés locales e… read more
