Description
Hello Workawayers!
We are Mark and Charlie and we have been living in the rural Mallorcan town of Alaro for the last 10 years. We live with our kiddies Evie and Ben (10 and 7 years old). It's beautiful here living at the foot of the Tramuntana mountains - a world Heritage Site - great for hiking, cycling, photography, art, and much more.
Alaro initially has a very rural feel to it, however after a short time you soon realise how multicultural and lively it can be.
From Alaro, you are a cheap train ride away or 20 minute drive from the beautiful city of Palma de Mallorca with its palm lined waterfront, boat filled marinas, art galleries, great restaurants and shopping. Not forgetting of course the spectacular cathedral and old town to explore.

Help
Mark and I work full time in Palma. We leave the house at 8.15 and return home around 5.30pm at the latest.
We have just completed a house refurb/extension, and there are still a few things to finish off....
We are looking for multi-skilled self starters that can do a bit of painting and decorating and a bit of gardening, or maybe a bit of other house maintenance.
We have a very friendly dog and lovely neighbours so if you fancy a couple of weeks in a wonderful town in Mallorca then give us a shout.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Mark and Charlie, Evie and Ben.
