Description
We restored, for the most parts with our own hands, a 17th century building complex, several interconnected buildings including a chapel, in Galicia, North-Western-Spain. Building works are done, we are an operational Bed&Breakfast. But there is always something to do: Would need some help to install a water saving irrigation system (digging ditches...), finalise restoration of our chapel, lots of garden help, moving stuff from A to B. No special skills needed, but of course specialists welcome! We are a Spanish-German couple, in 2023 we are 62 and 52, speak Spanish, English and German, have a bunch of cats, and about 5.000 square meters of land. We are vegetarians, do not smoke and are not very interested in alcohol, nevertheless laugh a lot. We would be happy if you might join us for a while!
We are a business offering accomodation in our restored historical building complex (B&B), but the help we are actually looking is not related with the business. Pending projects are gardening, finalize to restore our old chapel, get done some sectioning and organisation in our basements, where we feed stray cats☺️
