Descripción
I am a single mom with a 12 year old son living at the foot of the sierra in Collado Villalba. I purchased a home this past February in a quiet area surrounded by nature and all of the hiking one could dream of. It's a two story chalet with a moderately sized garden, complete with fruit trees and flowers. I am slowly but surely renovating, painting and putting lots of love into the property, but it is a lot of work for one person. I'm in need of some helping hands!
