    Description

    Rescue my Finca please! I am English and have lived in Spain for many years and also in France. I teach english as a foreign language, love cooking and playing tennis. My Finca has a small house and pool with stunning views of rolling hills dotted with olive trees. There are many fruit trees, birds, insects and my cats. Nature is all around but it sometimes takes over then the Finca needs a little TLC - tender, loving care and lots of strimming!

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I used to teach English as a foreign language and also speak Spanish and French. I love Andalucia and there is so much life going on in the town with processions and fiestas. Malaga is nearby, Cordoba, Sevilla, Granada just two hours away. I can give you some cooking tips and show you how to make the best paella.

    I have lots of orange and lemon trees and have just planted some avocado trees. The rest of the garden needs regular strimming too. It has an irrigation system but always needs maintenance.There are walls that need painting and a lovely swimming pool to clean regularly.
    I will provide tools and gloves but you will need old jeans and working boots.
    I welcome Workaways with vans and I can also pick you up at the bus station in Alhaurin el Grande (5Km).
