Hello.
We are a couple restoring a XVIII Century Masia in Alt Empordà.
We are looking for people who wants to stay at least for a week there helping with the garden, painting and cleaning. It would be great if somebody has knowledge of building but this is not a must.
There are individual rooms and we provide food.
There is no Wifi, but toilets and kitchen are full equipped. We also have 4 bycicles that you can use to explore the area.
About the area we are close by Figueres (Dalis museu ; plenty of restaurants too), which is 8km away, also we are surrounded by beautiful towns and quite close to South of Fance 40 minutes by car. Beaches and Calas of Costa Brava are about 15, 20 minuts by car, the closest one.
