Ayuda
We are trying to restore an old water mine that transports water to our "bassa" (a typical catalan pool used to water the fields, that we also use as a swimming pool during the summer).
We have located 11 wells of this mine, and we need to remove sand and stones from the inside, so the water can flow through the mine again, using these wells.
I cannot do it by myself, as I need someone helping from outside with a rope while I am inside the mine (you don´t have to go inside the mine yourself, it´s not dangerous and it´s not a heavy duty).
Additionally, my youngest daughter needs to practise her poor english and it would be great to have someone that speaks with her ocasionally (for example during meals, not formal lessons).Idiomas

Riudoms is a small village and there are other villages nearby that you can also visit, as well as nice walking routes in nature. We will recommend you places to visit and explain you how to get there.
