Description
We are a husband and wife team with a few animal friends. Eva the cat and Thor the dog. We are both very creative people who enjoy making music, art and love nature.
The land is in a very peaceful location close to the beautiful, whitewashed village of Mijas which is only 6 minutes by bus and the beach is 7 minutes by bus. We are lucky to have a bus stop just at the top of our road, so travelling on public transport to different destinations is a breeze. If you have a car, it is only 5 minutes away from the beach and main town. 40 minutes by foot. The main city, Malaga, is 39 minutes by car and 1 hour by train.
We are very lucky to have the best of both worlds as we live in an urban location, however we enjoy a very natural and green landscape.
We speak English, Spanish, Dutch, German, broken French.
Furthermore, we are looking for experienced, motivated independent people.
We are also looking for helpers with a self-contained camper van, so you can stay comfortable, warm and dry during these coming colder months.

Help
The land is very large, and we would like help with things which include:
- painting the house
- revamping the van so that people can stay comfortably in it
- building an outside toilet/bathroom and shower area in a creative and free way (cement cloth)
- carpentry
- creative projects
- farming
Part of the land is covered in a mini forest. It is a magical spot with lots of shade and different areas amongst the trees. There is a central part which has a wooden floor for yoga, relaxing and dancing etc. We would love to revive it all and bring life back into the place.
As we are starting out to this new experience, we would like to offer a maximum of 15 hours of help (3 hours, 5 days).

sadly the to e came at an end.
take care!!!
He is hard-working, very easy going and respectful.
Even when the work became challenging, Daniel never complained.
He is very good with animals, and we hope to see him again one day.
