Description
Hi, My name is Carlos and I am 37. I´m living in Cazorla in between countryside and mountains. I love Nature and Art. I´m running a touristic lodgement project in this beautiful area, but not working alone. As well, my family (parents and sister) takes part of it. There are many things that are able to do: basic maintenance tasks (wall painting, decorating painting, wooden maintenance, gardening...). Of course, any other suggestion or idea will be very welcome.

Bianca is a lovely girl, very creative and empathic person. She has great skills for decorating and for making better the way that you can focus things. Giving her a clear idea of tasks, she is gonna go on very well. She is very good socializing and a very fast languages learner. Easy going and with a clear point of view of how things could be.… read more

I have many beautiful memories from this workaway experience and I was very happy to be part of this project and to be around these people! I even spend my birthday with them and Carlos helped me to make it amazing ( after 3 days from my arrival, he dedicated hours of his time to eat churros, hiked with me and to drive me to the mountains Sierra… read more de Cazorla for a sunset in a magic place that I will never forget). I will be always grateful for this and for all the rest of the experience.

I stayed 2 weeks in a nice clean little apartment with everything necessary. Being November, sometimes was a bit cold but the braserò can help a lot ;). Carlos and his family did everything to make me feel at home, which indeed happened!

I loved the work and I remember myself singing during completing the tasks- which says a lot about the calm joyful atmosphere here and that I felt appreciated for my work. I painted an apartment (dorm room, living, bathroom); I varnished wooden tables and chairs; and also a bit of decorative painting. The work was never too hard for me and Carlos joined me sometimes but even when he didn’t, he gave clear tasks, all the necessary tools and materials. I was working around 4 hours per day, 6 days/week.
In the morning I was taking the breakfast in my apartment and the lunch was in general with the Carlos the father and sister (Blanca). The father is amazing cook ( traditional Spanish meals). And also very funny person. Even if my Spanish was limited in these first weeks in Spain, I managed to communicate with them and have fun and understand a bit the Spanish culture from inside. Blanca is also nice girl, I’m sorry I didn’t have the occasion to spend more time with.
Consuelo, the mother, is still working and was not much around but she;s so sweet and caring that she made me a little present for my bday! They were all nice and warm people to me. Carlos is very understanding, respectful, calm, mindful person, genuinely curious, interested in art and in love with nature, hiking and biking.

We sometimes went for walks in the evening in the beautiful villages around- I saw some raindeers on a hill!, , to hike in the free days or around the city. Cazorla is a very beautiful place with many many olive trees, white houses and many tapas bars, surrounded by mountains. Simply charming.

Thank you for everything and I hope to come again someday, when we can continue the decorative project for your place! I wish you much success with your business!

Hasta lungo, nice family!

:asterisk_symbol: I recommend this place for a couple or if you’re a person looking for nature, chilling, meditation.

Jeroen and Anne (their dog, Boca, too) are very special beings. Very gentle in everything we shared. Good way of managing the stuff they do. Pretty perfectionist, with is really good.

We stayed with Carlos and his family for two weeks. We've lived in our apartment with every service and enough food for every day. We've also got to know Carlos family and had a few meals together. Carlos speaks good english and is easy to communicate with.
We've spent basically 2 weeks painting one apartment and some other little jobs. The… read more
