Descripción
Hi I'm Soma, a writer, painter and mountaineer from England. I live with my 13 year old daughter in the centre of a lively Andalucían town, right on the doorstep of the Sierra de Cazorla national park, a spectacular landscape of 2000 metre peaks.
I bought the big, old house right next door to my big, old house, 2 years ago, and we've come a long way with the help of volunteers and professionals. Now we are in the final stages of getting the place rental ready. If you can give us a hand painting the newly plastered walls and fixing up old doors, that would be great. We hope that you'll want to come back and visit us as friends after your workaway experience.

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
I've travelled a lot and had some amazing cultural experiences. I still plan to travel and experience new cultures, as well as host. I'd like our new house to be a global community, where visitors can come and go, and always feel at home. My daughter is half Spanish and has grown up here, so we're firmly rooted in own town. Cazorla is a total immersion in Andalusian culture, ideal for language exchanges or practise or just soaking it all up...

Ayuda
The bulk of the work now is cleaning and painting. But if you like to cook, that would be a welcome contribution. If you can help my daughter with the Spanish school syllabus, the piano or French - or even teach me a tune on the guitar or just bring good vibes - that'd be fantastic.

Alojamiento
You would live right next door to us- in the house that will become a rental. You'd have your own kitchen and bathroom, a bedroom with a balcony, and be totally independent.
Algo más...
We are a minutes walk from the main plazas, and fifteen minutes walk from the foot of a mountain. There's always something going on in town and on scorching summer days, there are mountains pools to cool off in.

Sean and Alhma stayed with us for two weeks. They were an independent, easy going, really interesting and fun couple to be around. And they worked hard too! Sean had a lot of experience renovating and it showed in his attention to detail: preparing surfaces for painting, etc. He sanded a ceiling beam in the kitchen which was a particularly tough… read more

Dejado por el anfitrión para el workawayer (Golriz)

Golriz bought a wonderfully worldly, New York vibe to our house. We loved her stories and her company. She and was generous with the time and energy that she took to understand people and make them feel comfortable; she got on well with everybody and the meals that she cooked for us were delicous.
Though she hadn't had renovating experience, she… read more

I stayed with Soma and Scarlett for 5 whole weeks and then Soma kindly dropped me off in Malaga where she and her daughter also had a mini vacation.
I stayed here at a very transformative time in my life and it was absolutely everything I needed. The volunteer house where I lived and also helped out with the painting and some light renovation… read more

Ida was our first post-pandemic workaway. She made contact with us a couple of months before she came and - at a time when there was a lot of uncertainty and volunteers cancelling their plans - arrived exactly when she said she would! Ida was a wonderful person to host: independent and organized, open and funny, with a fresh outlook on life and… read more

We had a wonderful experience in Cazorla with Soma and Scarlett. Soma is welcoming and accommodating, brought extra food, toys and books for our son, Milo, and told us everything to know about the town. She took us for a of couple of meals out and for a hike in the mountains, which was stunning! They were both very appreciative of the work we did,… read more

Paolo was an ideal workaway. We enjoyed his easy going, intelligent company and really appreciated his help this summer. He had a curious calming effect on Scarlett who (being typically Spanish) is prone to getting over- the- top, over exited. She loved the trips to the library with him in the evening where they took turns reading, before… read more

Scarlett and Soma are a wonderful family and great hosts. I spent three unforgettable weeks in Soma's house and she always made me feel like at home. She introduced me to all her (amazing) friends and was a perfect guide to the natural wonders of Cazorla. I hope she will keep hosting workawayers for long time in order to allow many more people to… read more

It was great to have Scott staying with us for the week. He's helpful and considerate, a good cook and an interesting person who takes a keen interest in the culture around him.
Scarlett loved her piggy back rides to school and up the mountain. When we lost our keys he bravely climbed up onto the balcony to let us in.
Cheers Scott!

We had an awesome time with Soma and Scarlett. The house has a great room for Workawayers with a little terrace on the roof. The work we did was painting, paint stripping and sanding.
With Soma and her friends we got to go on several mountain hikes, abseiling and indoor climbing in the town, not to mention a lot of great drinks in the old square!… read more

We enjoyed having Jamie and Jaclyn staying with us. They were easy going and considerate and hardworking. They did a great job stripping some doors and painting the kitchen, cooking and babysitting. They got on well with my four year old daughter (who can be quite a handfull)
Thanks guys!
