    Hello, we are Ruth and David, a middle-aged couple with no children and a small dog that we love like one of the family. She is a very good dog and affectionate with children, the elderly, and adults. We live in a large house with a garden and a wonderful terrace overlooking the city and the sea. The house is located in an exclusive residential area very close to the urban environment. There are hiking trails nearby with beautiful cliffs and dreamy beaches.
    We are looking for someone who likes dogs to take care of our dog from Monday to Wednesday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. while we are not at home. You could even telework or study while taking care of the dog. We want someone who speaks English as their first language so we can practice our English and teach them Spanish.
    Please, if English is not your first language, do not respond to this ad. We do not want to waste your time or ours. We trust you understand.

    Hello, we are Ruth and David, a middle-aged couple without children and with a dog that we love as if she were part of the family. She is a very good and affectionate dog with children, the elderly, and adults. We live in a large house with a garden and a wonderful terrace overlooking the city and the sea. The house is located in an exclusive residential area very close to the urban environment. There are hiking trails nearby with beautiful cliffs and dreamy beaches.
    We are looking for someone who likes dogs to take care of our dog from Monday to Wednesday, from 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., while we are not at home and occasionally at other times. The person could telework or study while taking care of the dog. We want someone who speaks English as their first language so we can practice our English and teach them Spanish.

    You must be from an English-speaking country. Thank you for your understanding.

    Best regards.

    What else ...

    For all these reasons, Gijón/Xixón is a kind of immense open-air saltwater spa where leisure and joie de vivre permeate every pore of its skin: bustling streets, lively terraces, lively beaches and promenades along the sea and river, people walking or cycling along coastal or inland routes.

    The city is definitely an ideal place to enjoy yourself: sports, culture, shows, gastronomy, and entertainment galore are some of the cornerstones of Gijón/Xixón. Catch waves like an accomplished surfer, run like an athlete, skate like a champion, walk with the sea breeze on all sides, look out from a panoramic viewpoint over the coast, visit a pre-Roman fort or a Roman villa, attend a show in the best theaters or in the middle of the street, savor the most authentic Asturian cuisine almost at the water's edge, or contemplate the three massifs of the Picos de Europa and the Central Mountain Range from the Campa de Torres, are just some of the surprises that Gijón/Xixón has in store for you.
