Description
We live here at the bend of the river since 1983. It is down from the tiny village of San Lorenzo, 5Km from A Lama, and 27 Km from Pontevedra land inwards.
It’s a very beautiful place with a small crystal clear river surrounding the house, absolutely quiet. I'm living here since 1983, I am vegetarian, speak Spanish, English and German. My profession was TV repairing, but doing almost anything, repairing all kinds of electric machines, motors, pluming etc. I love carpenter work, and gardening, always new inventions, the last project was installing a new water generator to produce our own electricity.
We have plenty of room, central heating with wood, solar panels, unlimited best spring water.
We also have a water mill to grind our flower and stone oven with a sauna to beak our own bread.
I´m retired, like to share our paradise with people who are willing to help us.
Depending on your abilities shure you can find something to do here.
We have one dog, 2cats and 2 donkeys.
I love animals and children, please contact us
Love and peace. Jürgen
