¡Hola!
Thanks for checking my profile. I'm looking for help with driving, cooking, gardening, some painting/restoration of doors and windows at my home and campsite (it's just for me - not a commercial venture).
I hope to plant out a succulent, low-water garden at the camp.
You will stay in your own, lovely little cottage/house (´casita') with a roof terrace looking out to the Grazalema Park. It's very comfortable!
There will be driving involved so you need to be aged 25 + (so that you're covered my car insurance) and a competent driver.
You'll also need to be happy to do some dog-sitting/walking when I'm out and about.
At breakfast we do our own thing then meet to discuss the day over coffee.
We work until around 14h when we stop for lunch. After that you're free to do your own thing.
Weekends are all for you.
I see Workaway as a cultural exchange and enjoy good company and conversation.
Over the past years I've welcomed workawayers from all over the world.
I enjoy sharing what I know about the language, culture and history of Spain. And I'll be interested to learn about yours. I've travelled and accompanied groups to many different corners of the planet and am a committed One Worlder and European.
You'll be close to great walking trails in the Grazalema park. I have authored several books about the area, most of them focused on hiking trails.
And Montecorto is a small, quiet and special mountain village.
Thanks for checking out the profile.
Guy

I was so grateful to receive a last minute help from Veronica who looked after my house and my little dog whilst I was back in the UK.
Veronica is an exceptionally kind, caring, trustworthy and responsible young person, who left my home clean and tidy and cared for my dog as if it was her own.
I can only say a very big 'gracias' ...
