Description
***NEW UPDATED*** We will be open during August 2021
The perfect place to disconnect and connect with yourself.
I own a farm in Galicia, one of the most beautiful places in Spain, surrounded of nature, we have the mountains and the beach at like 30 mins by car. We can show you the best places around while you help us with gardening, painting and some furniture restoration. Also the restoration of another little house next to the main one.
We need help specially with housing restoration, there is some old rooms we need to clear, paint and organize.
We are also creating a kitchen garden to grow our own ecologic food. But we never did this before so if you have some knowledge about this it would be great.
Sadly our horse died some months ago and now we just have cows, dogs, chickens (we are going to "build" or prepare a nice place for chickens also.
We would love to have you and help you discover a different lifestyle while you also share your ideas with us.
We speak English, but if you would like to practice Spanish I can teach you or we can communicate just in English.Types of help and learning opportunities

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We would want you to be a part of the family and a part of the project, we can show you all the best places around as well as our language if you are interested, we will cook typical dishes and show you Spanish and Galician recipes, hopefully made with the ingredients we find in our garden and we'll see grow.
It's a really peaceful area, where as I said above, you can totally disconnect and discover a different lifestyle, to connect with yourself again. Life can be easy and beautiful, but sometimes in the middle of the city noise, we forget.Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
The help we require is pretty easy, some gardening and help with the kitchen garden.
We also have 2 dogs, 2 cats, chickens and a beautiful horse, you could also ride if you like to. With the animals we give them food and that's pretty much all, we are trying to build a new place for the chicken to give them more space, but cats and dogs are completely free and the horse has a big space, inside and outside, to bath the horse is so fun. You don't have to if you don't want.Languages
