  Description

  PLEASE CHECK OUR CALENDER, WE NEED HELP FROM SEPTEMBER, NOT BEFORE, THANK YOU,
  Our new project is on the mainland and on the edge of a beautful small village, on the Atlantic coast.
  Its just a short walk to the old fishing village, which is built like an Amphitheater and has a wonderful Placa with cafes and resturants. the Most important, its peaceful and a great place to relax and collect your thoughts. We love it here. Obviously there is tourism during the summer months, but its almost exclusively Spanish.Our new project is around 15 minutes on foot up the hill and set on a piece of ground which we will turn into a beautiful garden. Its quite near the old pilgrim way on the coast.
  At present we are waiting for electric and water to be re-connected. Our intentions are to make the house habitable before the Spring. At the moment it only has around 30 square metres useable but come the spring we will have space for a couple of workawayers. It will be general chores on the house and in the garden, so be prepared to get your hands dirty.
  I just want to add that we enjoy the company of others who do not take themselves toooooo seriously, its good to laugh, even over ourselves.
  IMPORTANT if you write us and ask to stay with us, please let us know if you change your mind. It is only fair on the other travellers and indeed for us as well. Thanks
  WE WISH YOU ALL THE VERY BEST FOR 2022 AND GOOD TRAVELLING IN THE FUTURE

  Help

  There are plenty of finishing projects, i.e. plastering, painting but also some woodworking. We would prefer travellers who have some experience in the tasks we have ,I am a Builder, but a pair of willing hands are always welcome, as there is still a lot of carrying materials etc..... My girlfriend is trying to improve her English and can offer some help with Spanish if you need it and then there is the garden, it is taking shape, but I dont have enough time to talk to my plants (ha ha).We are planning to plant crops of some sorts.

  What else ...

  The village has easy access to the nearby beaches and I have a 9 seater VW Van, so no problem with transport. the village is 15 minutes away from the Airport Aviles, so pick up is available.
  If you enjoy a peaceful life, dont mind a little work and feel like being part of our little family (for however short a time), give us a try.....
  P.S. we are not workaholics (but not lazy) and tend to give ourselves plenty of time to enjoy our lives in one way or another.......and we still travel as often as possible.
