    Description

    Hi, thanks for stopping by...

    I am looking for helping hands to take care of a humble and charming 'casa del campo' amongst olive and carob trees, between the Mediterranean sea and beautiful mountains.

    You will need your own transport to stay here.

    There are different tasks to do, from clearing and taking care of the land (manual tools), to general maintenance help and cleaning.

    About me
    I am Gypsea, mature, independent, calm, and free-spirited woman, who has experienced a life rich in travels and cultures. I love being in nature, taking care of plants, connect with the land. I enjoy art, photography, creating in general, foraging and making natural remedies. I am inspired by authentic connection with people but also appreciate and need quality time by myself, soul-itude, and silence.

    Conscious about minimising my footprint on the planet, I am now looking to create a beautiful and sustainable sanctuary to call home.

    I do not take drugs and rarely drink, therefore I am looking for people who also share a passion for healthy, wholesome living.

    About you
    I am looking for honest, mature, proactive and motivated volunteers, willing to get their hands dirty.

    It is important to me that you are a calm and mindful person, able to both contribute to the space in which you live and respect other people’s tranquility and privacy.

    You need to be aware that the house is offgrid, so electricity & water are precious resources. Water especially needs to be used very sparingly, and recycled whenever possible.

    About the place
    This is a non-smoking and vegetarian home in the middle of nature, appx 3-4 km to the nearest village.

    Two rescued cats live with me.

    As written at the beginning, you will need to come with your own transport for freedom of movement and independence.

    There is a good internet reception if you have your own European sim card - there is no WiFi setup available here.

    Accommodation

    You will have your own room if you are not sleeping in a van / camping car

    The house is divided in two parts and has two bathrooms, one for me and a shared one for the workawayer-s.

    Additionally, there is plenty of space to park your van / caravan if that is your mode of travelling and you wish to sleep in it.

    I offer accommodation & two meals per day in exchange for 4-5 hours of work, 5 days / week. Basic healthy food will be provided. Please note that this is a vegetarian & non smoking household.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    There is plenty to do in the area in your free time, especially if you love nature - many hikes, mountains, beaches, the Ebro river and the beautiful delta with its rice paddies, flamingos and birds reserve.

    There are also lots of historical and cultural treasures, great little villages or bigger towns (Tortosa, Cambrils, Tarragona) to explore, less than an hour’s drive away. You can drive to Barcelona in 1h30.

    Photography heaven.

    The house is situated approximately :

    5 min. drive to the nearest village El Perelló

    10-15 min. drive to the seaside (and the nearest beaches of Ampolla or Amettla del Mar)

    30-90 min. drive to several mountain villages (some of them existing since the middle ages)... or buzzy towns if you need a nature break (Tarragona, Reus, Barcelona..)

    Finally, if you want a further idea of my lifestyle or the richness of this region, I am happy to share the name of my Instagram page.

    Looking forward to hearing from you if you correspond to the profile I'm looking for, and you are already able to imagine how you would enjoy exploring the Ebro region..
