Description
We're Suso and Myriam, a couple in our thirties with 2 dogs, 3 cats, 6 chicken and a couple of turtles that bought a beautiful big XIX century house in 2018
We speak Spanish and English and Myri speaks as well Italian (she was born in Naples) and Suso can hold a conversation in Japanese because he spent long time cycling in Japan.
Our goal is to rescue this piece of history from decay and make it our home in the way. We plan doing as much as possible ourselves using materials and methods from the period to accomplish our goal.
IMPORTANT: We offer three meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) from Monday to Friday for sure, and for the weekends sometimes we cook sometimes we do not, but there will be always breakfast and probably dinner, though we can't always guarantee. Washing dishes after meals is one of the house chores we ask the volunteers to do, but we set the rule 'If you cook you don't do the dishes'.
Appropriate footwear is important. It gets muddy and slippery as soon as it rains.we also appreciate if you bring your own working gloves rain coat although we try to avoid working in the rain.
Also important, we do laundry sunny days between 12:00 and 16:00.
Autumn 2022 update. Less progress than we where hopping for but we made some fun discoveries that forced us to change our plans. But
with October excelent weather we managed to add other 6 metres to the wall now we just need decent weather and it'll be finished next year for sure.
Types of help and learning opportunities

Creating/ Cooking family meals
Help around the house
General Maintenance
Help with Computers/ Internet
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
If you're interested in traditional construction methods and hand made stuff we'll love to learn from you and we're happy to teach you. All good ideas that fit the philosophy of the project are welcome. Also you can experience life in the countryside of Asturias in a wooded area close to the sea and mayor tourist attractions you can visit on your spare time.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
Help us rebuild a 1879 house in north Spain (just 10 minutes by car from the beach ) and make it a passive sustainable home. We don't need any special skill and if you're willing to learn about carpentry and masonry from a professional Suso will love to teach you from the very basic all the way to advance stone cutting and Japanese timber framing.
This is a construction site, the house is 140 years old and everything needs attention. Half of it needs rebuilding so at times the work is tough and dirty.
We're at a stage where we finished the consolidation and already started demolition and rebuilding.
Not all is heavy lifting and cement mixing Myri is very passionate about gardening cooking so if you fancy to help us growing vegetables, taking care of the animals and making pizza you'll find a very warm welcome.
Again please bring suitable footwear, it gets muddy and slippery.

Accommodation
We have a guests room in the house, with two bed and a bank beds and a small office downstairs where we can put an extra double bed. Workawayers are expected to share the room but We'll do our best for you to be comfortable and let you know with whom are you going to share and only exceptionally there will be more than two volunteers sleeping in one room. Food will be provided by us and cooking as well unless any workawayer likes to take over that task or any other to keep us working.
Usually the day starts at 9am with breakfast 9:30 house chores and at 10 am we start working until lunch around 2pm. We plan our day not to need help after lunch or during the weekends so you can rest or explore.
What else ...
The bus used to stop just in front of the house before COVID 19 but now to go to Villaviciosa or to Gijón the nearest stop is 3km away. Beaches are quite close too (8 Km to playa España) and the surrounding are perfect for hiking and cycling. The camino de Santiago if pretty close too so if you're hiking to Santiago don't have to divert that much or you can start the trail from home.
Once or twice a year a workayer will gost us after confirming that is going to stay with us. We don't mind if you cancel your stay but if your travel plans changes let us know ASAP.
A little more information
Internet access
Limited internet access
We have pets
We are smokers
Can host families
Can host digital nomads
Not the best internet access but at least is unlimited. Electricity is a bit unreliable on cloudy days right now but we hope to improve our battery bank on 2022. So if your device is power hungry (more than 50W) most likely you can only charge /use during day time, and that's a limited resource in winter.
How many Workawayers can stay?
More than two
Hours expected
Maximum 5 hours a day, 5 days a week

The accommodation was basic and location rural but there are lots of lovely walks from the house and beaches are not too far away. Lufi the greyhound is also very keen to play! Overall great experience,… read more

Me and Suso had a worderful workaway experience with Joe. He stayed with us for 2 weeks, helping us digging the septic tank and putting up a fence in our land. He's good with animals (even with his cat allergy, that gave him some troubles), a very hard-working young man, an excellent guitar player and really nice company. He's welcome to come back… read more

My stay of 10 or so days was amazing with Suso and Myri. The work varied and was always reasonable, there was no expectation of finishing by a certain date, but Suso and Myri work hard and set a good example for all. We did a lot of hard work and got compensated well for it with wonderful food, entertainment from Lufi (a greyhound with infinite… read more

We spent just under a week with Myri and Suso at La Cubana. Wow! What a wonderful project! We love their vision and commitment, how they think carefully about every step, and refashion and reuse materials they have on hand as much as possible. We helped erect a fence and gate, and whacked back some of the brambles in the area that will eventually… read more

I would give 6 stars if I could! I stayed 5 days with Myri and Suso and left wishing it could have been longer... they are a really lovely couple, super friendly and full of energy, I felt very welcome from the first moment. Their project is very exciting, and its still in the early stages so there is lots of variety possible in the work and I was… read more

Myriam and Suso are the best! We spent a week with them, and would happily stayed more if we didn’t have the travel bug so bad!! They had so much to share including knowledge of the surrounding area, amazing cooking, lots of laughter, and adorable pets! Great hosts.

Aurélie and Jeroen spent a week with us and it's been a very productive time, they're excellent workers, always ready to help and learn, proactive and we will miss them a lot because, first of all, they are really good people, nice and smart, funny and kind... the best company by the fire in a cold night. Moreover, they are very good cooks, a real… read more
