Description
We are a Dutch couple in our 50s who are leaving the rat race behind for a slower, richer life in rural Spain.
Our finca near Vinaròs has a mandarin orchard, vegetable garden, olive trees and always something to work on.
We are learning Spanish and we love to practice every day. If you speak Spanish — perfect! That is a big plus for us and we will really appreciate it. -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We live in a rural area, just outside the friendly coastal town of Vinaròs (about 4–5 km from the beach and boulevard). It’s a relaxed and authentic Spanish environment.
In your free time, you can:
- go to the beach or explore the coastline (with watersports)
- visit the well-known town of Peñíscola (about 25 km - bus)
- explore the mountains and nature inland
- enjoy local markets, culture and food
- explore by train (Vinaros has a train station), f.e. to Barcelona. Valencia, Alicante
- explore by bus
- bicycles are available to go to town or the beach.
We speak fluent English, Dutch and German, basic French and beginner Spanish. -
Help
What you will help with
- Morning tasks in the orchard and vegetable garden (weeding, irrigation checks)
- General farm and building maintenance
- DIY projects
- Cooking a warm lunch together
Because of the summer heat, outdoor work is done in the cooler morning hours. Afternoons are yours to explore! -
