    Description

    Hello.
    Right now we are looking for someone to help us with the renovation of the apartment in the centre of Alicante.
    The activities would involve some maintenance, help with painting, organizing things, cleaning; help with the moving out- liberating the space of some boxes- could be less or more heavy, but all within the abilities of a normal human being;)
    We offer a private room, double bed- but with a privacy but the bathroom and the space is obviously shared within the day working hours with two or three constructors coming to work on site.
    The flat is in La Rambla of Alicante, 5 minutes from the beach, and in the centre of all the tourist activity one might be looking for.
    We offer acommodation and one meal a day for a 4-hour daily work, five days a week.
    We need a responsable, dedicated person, ready for the challenges, independent and willing to organize their free time on their own.
    There is a wifi in the flat.

    Apart from that:
    We are putting the finishing touches on two houses in El Altet. The owner and manager is Antonio, and I am Aga and I take care of all of the details. One of the houses has been Antonio's childhood home and now, after a small reform, I have been preparing it to live in it again.

    Hola,
    Ahora mismo estamos buscando alguien que nos ayude con la reforma del piso en el centro de Alicante.
    Las actividades involucrarían algo de mantenimiento, ayuda con pintura, organización de cosas, limpieza; la ayuda para la mudanza-liberando el espacio de algunas cajas- podría ser más o menos pesada, pero todo dentro de las capacidades de un ser humano normal ;)
    Ofrecemos una habitación privada, cama doble, pero con privacidad, pero el baño y el espacio obviamente se comparten durante el horario laboral diurno con dos o tres constructores que vienen a trabajar en el sitio.
    El piso está en La Rambla de Alicante, a 5 minutos de la playa, y en el centro de toda la actividad turística que uno pueda estar buscando.
    Ofrecemos alojamiento y una comida al día para un trabajo de 4 horas diarias, cinco días a la semana.
    Necesitamos una persona responsable, dedicada, preparada para los desafíos, independiente y dispuesta a organizar su tiempo libre por su cuenta.
    Hay el internet en el piso.

    Aparte, estamos dando los últimos toques a dos viviendas en El Altet. El propietario y responsable es Antonio. Me llamo Aga y estoy responsable de todos los detalles. Una de las viviendas ha sido la vivienda en mi niñez y ahora, después de una pequeña reforma, la preparo para vivir en ella nuevamente.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are open to share and learn about other cultures, the house is a typical Spanish rural house, and with the centre of Alicante being only 10 minutes away by car, you can taste lovely Spanish paella, and other typical meals, you can go to museums or take a walk on the beautiful Explanada, or visit the Castle of Santa Barbara. The town of Altet also offers great typical cafeterías and restaurants with typical Spanish cuisine. The beach is approximately 1.2km walking distance from the house, and you can also take a bus to the nearby coastal villages of Urbanova, Los Arenales.

El pueblo del Altet también ofrece estupendas cafeterías típicas y restaurantes de cocina típica española.

    Help

    Hello. I am finishing the renovation of two houses near the airport of Alicante. I need some help in simple matters of cleaning, ordering, cutting some wild herbs and that kind of thing. If you are over 30 years old and have the necessary agility for this type of help (there are some stairs to climb several times), you are welcome. It is a rural environment and next to the houses (300 meters) there is a town with all kinds of establishments. Approximately 1 km from the beach of El Altet. A little further away there is a lovely coastal town of Arenales del Sol and Urbanova. The airport is 5 minutes away by car and Alicante capital 10 minutes away. I offer free accommodation and use of the facilities (kitchen, living room, etc.) for three hours of daily work. Important: No internet. It is very important for me to state that smoking is strictly prohibited on the premises and around, due to the fact that we are in the immediate vicinity of the forest and there is a high risk of fire.

    Hola. Estoy terminando los detalles de unas viviendas cerca del aeropuerto de Alicante.


    Necesito ayuda en cuestiones simples de limpieza,orden, cortar algunas hierbas silvestres y ese tipo de cosas.

    Si tienes mas que 30 años y tienes la agilidad necesaria para este tipo de trabajos (hay algunas escaleras que subir varias veces), eres bienvenido.

    Se trata de un entorno rural y junto a las casas (300 metros) hay un pueblo con todo tipo de establecimientos. A 1 km aproximadamente la playa de El Altet. Algo más lejos Arenales del Sol y Urbanova.

    El aeropuerto a 5 minutos en coche y Alicante capital a 10.

    Ofrezco alojamiento gratuito y uso de las instalaciones (cocina, salón, etcétera) por tres horas de trabajo diario.

    Importante:Sin internet.
    Es muy importante para mí señalar que está estrictamente prohibido fumar en el recinto y sus alrededores, debido a que estamos en las inmediaciones del bosque y existe un alto riesgo de incendio.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    The accommodation will be in a rural house that has several rooms and all the normal needs covered: wardrobes, bedding, towels, cooking utensils, the living room, the parking, the garden, etc. Each visitor will have their own room, but the use of the bathrooms is shared. The house is in a quiet rural area, surrounded by a a small forest and some fields, but within the walking distance to the centre of the village and a little bit longer walk to the beach. It is a very quiet place, although you can hear the planes flying, you get used to it immediately. There are almost no neighbours nearby, which offers great privacy.

    El alojamiento será en una casa rural que tiene varias habitaciones y todas las necesidades normales cubiertas: armarios, ropa de cama, toallas, utensilios para cocinar, salón, aparcamiento, jardín, etc.

    Cada visitante tendrá su propia habitación, pero el uso de los baños es compartido.

    La casa está en una zona rural tranquila, rodeada de un pequeño bosque y algunos campos, pero a poca distancia del centro del pueblo y un poco más lejos de la playa. Es un lugar muy tranquilo, aunque se escuchan los aviones volando, te acostumbras enseguida. Casi no hay vecinos cerca, lo que ofrece una gran privacidad.
