  Description

  We are a young couple based in a small village near Madrid. We moved from London where we lived nearly 10 years. We consider our self internationals enthusiasts and travel lovers.
  
  We recently had our first child during building/refurbishing of our dream home. All of a sudden our schedules changed and had to learn a new way of being together. We are family of 3 :)
  
  We are looking for help with the construction/refurbishment. We don't expect any experience, only motivation and willingness to learn.
  
  Our house is located next to the Parque de Guadarrama. It is a natural reserve with hundreds of trails and activities. We have a big garden.
