Descripción
My name is Rebecca (43), a translator and book author. I was born and raised in the UK, and have spent the past five years living in beautiful northern Spain. I recently moved from a mountain cabin in Asturias to an abandoned hamlet with two hectares of land in Galicia to embark upon a new life project - the creation of a sustainable homestead.
I have many enthusiastic ideas for developing this place but for now the focus needs to be on a basis of little by little.
I currently live here with my 3 dogs, 4 cats and 10 chickens. I also plan to keep donkeys and sheep, which requires adequate fencing to be built. There are also extensive renovation and building works required for the farmhouse itself, plus some outbuildings.
The project is right at the beginning, so there is much work to be done (mainly clearing brambles at this stage!) and currently somewhat limited accommodation. I have a camper van, a double bedroom, a bell tent (weather permitting), and space for a motorhome. The kitchen and bathroom are currently shared with myself and any others present until further facilities can be constructed.
I am happy to cook meals for guests once per week but would appreciate people seeing to themselves for most of the time. I will of course provide the food.
I have a spare car that helpers can use, since the property is not on a bus route nor within walking distance to the nearest village - which is 10 minutes' drive away and has supermarkets, cafe/bars, pharmacy and a bank. Lugo is the nearest city at 30 minutes' drive and is famous for being the only city in the world to have a complete (walkable) Roman wall surrounding it. The cities of Santiago de Compostela and A Coruña are each 1 hour away.Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje

The Camino de Santiago passes very close to the farm. It is actually located very close to Melide, where two Caminos meet and join (Camino Francés and Camino Primitivo), which is a cultural hub for all pilgrims.
