    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. The house and garden are asking for love and renovation. If you have good sewing skills for making cushion covers etc that would be welcome at the moment. There might also be a possibility for artists who want to create artwork for the house or a mosaic in one area. There is always gardening and cleaning of the space and general maintenance to do.

    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.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    The house has a swimming pool and the sea is only 5 minutes walk away. Kayaks are available to hire by the hour in the bay and there is a great little rock climbing crag 15 minutes walk away for any climbers. There is lovely walking from the house. The village has a small supermarket and cafes and the next village which is about a 40 minute walk away has more restaurants, a larger supermarket etc. Cartagena is a 30 minute drive away and has a lot of interesting cultural heritage and Roman remains.

    You can access the village by bus from Cartagena or Mazarron.
