    Description

    I am a welcoming person, a Red Cross volunteer, I like to interact with people, I love to travel, I have a rural house in the middle of fruit fields and with nature in full splendor, very close to the city where you can find any service you need. needed (hospitals, shops, leisure), the town where the rural house is located is also a 15-minute walk away. I like to cook and I am a professional pastry chef. I like nature and I choose to have a sustainable house, painting work and some other DIY and garden tasks are required. People who want to be volunteers in my project will find a beautiful place where they can enjoy the magic of nature, help with housework, such as cleaning, DIY, painting, gardening. The place where we are located is in Vilanova de la barca, we are 15 minutes by car and/or 11 minutes by train from the city of Lleida. Villanueva de la Barca is a Spanish municipality located in the Segriá region, in the province of Lérida, located to the NE. of the region, on the border with La Noguera and La Plana de Urgel, at the confluence of the Corb and Segre rivers. Barely a kilometer from the town center rises a hill over the River Segre called Puig de Castell-Pagès. The name of Castell-Pagès refers to a fortified castle from the 3rd century, which endured through the Muslim domination and which, after the reconquest of Lérida, the Count of Barcelona granted to Berenguer de Grañana, who repopulated it, founding the current population of Vilanueva de la Barca, which will be controlled by the Templars later.

    Soy una persona acogedora, voluntaria de Cruz Roja, me gusta relacionarme con gente, me encanta viajar, tengo una casa rural en medio de campos de fruta y con la naturaleza en pleno esplendor, muy cerca de la ciudad donde se puede encontrar cualquier servicio que se necesite (hospitales tiendas,ocio), el pueblo donde se ubica la casa rural también está a 15 min andando.
    Me gusta cocinar y soy pastelera profesional.
    Me gusta la naturaleza y opto por tener una casa sostenible, se precisan trabajos de pintura y alguna que otra tarea de bricolaje y huerto. Las personas que quieran ser voluntarias en mi proyecto encontrarán un lugar precioso donde disfrutar de la magia de la naturaleza, ayudar en las tareas de la casa , como limpieza, bricolaje, pintura, jardinería. El lugar donde nos ubicamos es en Vilanova de la barca, estamos a 15 min en coche y/o 11 min en tren de la ciudad de Lleida.
    Villanueva de la Barca​ es un municipio español situado en la comarca del Segriá, en la provincia de Lérida, situado al NE. de la comarca, en el límite con las de la Noguera y la Plana de Urgel, en la confluencia de los ríos Corb y Segre.
    A un kilómetro escaso del casco urbano se eleva un cerro sobre el río Segre que recibe el nombre de Puig de Castell-Pagès. El nombre de Castell-Pagès hace referencia a un castillo fortificado del siglo III, que perdura a través de la dominación musulmana y que, tras la reconquista de Lérida, el Conde de Barcelona otorga a Berenguer de Grañana, que lo repuebla fundando la población actual de Vilanueva de la Barca, que pasará ser controlada por los templarios más tarde.
