Description
We are an English couple who after travelling for the last year in our campervan have recently moved to a quaint village called Los Carriones with our Crazy but beautiful 2 year old Chocolate Lab (Jackson). We have a cave house which we are currently updating and a Rustic roof terrace to create. We would love someone to come and stay with us to help with general painting and garden shrub/bush removing, so no skills required. Los Carriones is a wonderful small village in Andalucia. It's surrounded by mountains and lakes, a truly stunning location, rural but not too far off the beaten track. It's a truly Spanish way of life, relaxed and carefree.
Motorhomes or Campervans welcome.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Life in a Spanish village is a beautiful cultural experience. The tranquillity, friendliness, and truly Spanish lifestyle is a window into another world. You can work on your Spanish, and learn about the world of Caves which are eco-friendly, as they are cool in the summer and warm in the winter, and the history of caves goes back for centuries.
Help
We are looking for some help in general cleaning of caves to prep for Painting interior and exterior cave walls, Gardening which mainly involves removing Bush/scrub we do have brush cutter (which is a heavy duty streamer) to use. So we can clear above the caves to create a Rustic roof terrace we are ver flexible in how we work so any ideas would be greatly appreciated, we are currently installing a swimming pool so after a few hours of work having a dip or relaxing in a hammock is no problem.

Accommodation
You will have your own personal self-catering double bed cave house, which will have everything you will need including a patio area outside, I can cook for you on occasions but this is not my forte! But we will provide you with your own food for you to prepare and cook for yourselves, again we are very flexible so could work out what suits us all.
If a couple its not necessary for both to work all hours.
What else ...
In your free time there are plenty of stunning walks/hikes around us, beautiful villages to explore, we have 2 bicycles bike available to use, and a café bar within 5 mins walking distance serving free tapas with every drink, a great place to mingle with the locals experiencing the Spanish language and culture of the surrounding area. Los Carriones is a wonderful small village in Andalucia. It's surrounded by mountains and lakes, a truly stunning location, rural but not too far off the beaten track. It's a truly Spanish way of life, relaxed and carefree.
