Description
Hello,
I am English (I speak Spanish) and I have a house in a beautiful coastal village in Murcia, Spain and my vision is for it to be a place where people can gather for singing, music, mantra and conscious connection. It is 5 minutes walk from a lovely beach, with little beach cafes and surrounded by beautiful hills. It is a tranquil place, perfect for coming back home to oneself. I love devotional singing and learning to play insturments so this would be perfect workaway for anyone that loves to sing or play music together in the evenings. There is always gardening, cleaning and tidying of the space and general maintenance to do. There is also sewing for experienced sewers (with a sewing machine).
I tend to accept people last minute so I know my plans and what is needed in the house. I am sorry I will not say yes to requests further into the future. I host people for between 4 days to two weeks and I do not do longer stays at the moment.
Wishing you a wonderful day.
