Description
Our names are Alfonso and Lydia, we are nature lovers and we have many animals on our small farm. We also take care of dogs in our house and are educators for their owners :). We have three children: Gael, 9 years old, Sergio, 6, and Luna, 3. And we really like being able to share this place with friends, as well as life in contact with nature, in peace and as healthy as we can and/or know how. We Also like coocking and make organic desserts.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Life with animals, getting to know Cantabria and its wonderful places, relaxing in a house away from the city, but close to everything (beaches, towns...), learning about dogs ... and everything that is in our power that may be of interest.
Vida con animales, conocer Cantabria y sus maravillosos lugares, relajarse en una casa apartada de la ciudad, pero cerca de todo (playas, pueblos..), aprender sobre perros y su educación.... y todo lo que esté en nuestra mano que pueda interesar.

Help
In our house we always have new projects for small renovations and animals sometimes we don't have time to take care of everything, the garden, animals, work... we think it's a very good idea if someone wants to spend some time here, give them accommodation or a farm and so they can help a little. Of course, it is necessary to love animals, be able to do help in renovations and if we speak English so we and our children can learn more, that's great. We also like to conect with people and we love this kind of treatment where we all help each other. We do not ask to take care of our children, but rather we would like to be able to spend more time with them. We are looking for people with knowledge and/or experience in renovations, woodworking, gardening, maintenance...
Also when we travel we look for workaways to take care of our house and animals. We are now looking for May-June 2025
En nuestra casa siempre tenemos nuevos proyectos de pequeñas reformas tanto centro como fuera de casa. Además con tres niños y animales a veces no nos da tiempo a cuidar de todo, del jardín, animales, trabajo.... nos parece muy buena idea si alguien quiere pasar un tiempo por aquí, darles alojamiento o finca y que puedan ayudar un poco. Claro, es necesario amar animales, poder hacer trabajos de ayuda en reformas y si se habla inglés para poder aprender más nosotros y nuestros hijos genial.

We can accommodate on the property if you have a motorhome or camper. There is also the possibility at home, on the third floor which is an open loft with two beds and a sofa.
It would all be a matter of talking about it, it is a big house with space, but we have 3 children and dogs :)
we have also a caravan with one big bed and two small beds . It is Very confortable in summer.
We like to eat everything but almost always organic and everything we can without processing.

Podemos alojar en la finca si se dispone de autocaravana o camper. También existe la posibilidad en casa, en la tercera planta que es una buhardilla abierta con dos camas y un sofá.
Todo sería cuestión de hablarlo, es una casa grande con espacio, pero tenemos 3 niños y perros :)
Nos gusta comer de todo pero casi siempre ecológico y todo lo que podemos sin procesar.
