  Description

  We are a married couple in our 60s, Irish/Polish, living in rural Spain. We have been renovating our cortijo and could use a bit of help with the outside area, from someone younger and stronger! The house is really comfortable, with a pool and is 19 minutes from the nearest town, and about 45 minutes from Alicante airport and the coast. My husband is a great cook so you should be very well fed while you're with us! We hope you'll enjoy a walk round our city of Murcia to see the fabulous architecture and galleries, as well as the wonderful tapas bars. We would also like you to experience our local spa, Leana. Fortuna is a spa town originally settled by the Romans who knew there was plenty of water, so the thermal pools are a joy to relax in!

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We speak English, Spanish and some French, so that might be useful? We love to also learn about different cultures so sharing experiences means we can learn from each other. We'd like to share some of the Spanish way of life.

  Help

  We'd love some help with clearing a part of the garden ready for planting fruit trees. Also if someone could help us paint the outside of the house that would be brilliant!
