Descripción
Hi we're Penelope, Michael and Bentley, we're British and live in the lovely green north of Spain in Asturias.We have 6 rescued cats and I am currently fostering 6 cats and caring for 7 village cats. I also have 4 rescued dogs. I am looking for somebody to help care for the animals and to help with work around the house and garden (including cooking if of interest).
Our house is walking distance to Villaviciosa (600m) and 9km from a lovely beach called Rodiles. There are good bus links from Villaviciosa to Ribadesella, Llanes, Gijon and Oviedo among others. Asturias is known for mountain trails and surfing. It really is a paradise here.
The people who have enjoyed being here in the past are people who adore animals, they love being surrounded by cats and dogs and receiving all the love and affection that they like to give people. Our house is in the process of being done up so it's a little scruffy and with all of our animals it's hard for there not be some mud and pet hairs in the house so that needs not to be a problem for you. We're often busy working or organising animal rescue so this opportunity suits people who are happy to hang out with animals mostly. We're here and love to chat when we get the chance but sometimes we don't get much time.

Asturias is green and in places the mountains are only 15km from the beach, it's pretty stunning. We love meeting new people and have had lots of fun with Workawayers in the past but please note we don't have lots of time free to chat as things stand currently. Sometimes people have been interested in the way Iwe live - we try to eat healthily, feed our pets healthily and our son was home-educated until he chose to go to school this year. I always have lots of philosophical discussions with visitors if they're up for that!

Please note that one person left because she was expecting formal English language tuition. It's hard for me to find time to do this but I'm very very happy to speak to visitors in English whenever they like.

The city of Gijon is 30 minutes away by bus with museums, shops and a beach, Ribadesella is 40 minutes away, a gorgeous seaside resort, Villaviciosa, our closest town has cafes, nice shops and some nice walks. Rodiles is a beautiful beach 9km away. Oviedo, capital of Asturias, is a 30 minute bus ride away and is a pretty cultural city with museums, opera. Food in Asturias is known as being some of the best in the country. Not far away are the Picos de Europa mountains and there are other beautiful walks nearby.
