  Description

  We are a couple living in a really special place. IS in the middle of a forest and the closest village with some services is 20 minutes driving. It's located in the pre-pyrines, in the border between Catalonia and Aragó county.
  Gabi is a very hard-working person in the world of rope access, although he's done many other things besides. He paraglides, climbs, and loves all kinds of outdoor sports.
  Me, Yolanda, I work at the National Park of "Aigüestortes" maintaining trails and keeping the place cool as it is. and I also enjoy the outdoors.
  We're both passionate about gardening, and we make a great team in all the jobs that come with living where we do.
  And there are 4 cats living with us and part of the family but they run free but they are always around. You will fall for them!
  
  We are looking for someone
  to help us around the house with the kitchen garden, general tasks of a countryside house and so...
  
  BTW! a driving liscense is a must!
