==============
We are looking for one or two people to help with some painting, building, and 4 days cat sitting, from middle of April. Just 1 week, or two maximum.
- Then ONLY house/cat sitting in the summer. We're now starting our search for house/cat sitter/s for the summer months, from beginning of May through to September -
we're open to all sorts of possibilities, so if you might be interested, get in touch and see if we can come to an agreement.
The area of Spain we live in is not at all touristy - you really need some Spanish to live here, and also a car is 90% essential, although, if you are very fit, you COULD walk down to the shops, and back up. (Which is the problem, especially in the summer.)
We MIGHT be leaving our big old car here, so if you've got a valid driving license, that is another possibility.
==============
We (I'm Spanish and my wife is English) are the proud owners of a little hovel in one of the most picturesque places in southern Spain, in the Sierra Mágina, in Jaén. We've got all sorts of plans for the house, but not much money!!
We've been using workaway for several years now, in Spain, as volunteers, and have met some wonderful people. But in 2021 we decided it was time to try to make our own place a bit nicer, and we've had some fantastic helpers.
We've improved the house a lot and now we're thinking about starting work on the patio and the extension.Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje

We can help you improve your Spanish and your English, the Sierra Mágina is a beautiful mountain range with plenty of walks, the whole area is virtually unknown to foreign tourists, but we're very close to Úbeda and Baeza, both world heritage towns. We can feed you well, and teach you how to cook lovely food!

We need to start on a small extension, probably in April 2024, so we're looking for someone who knows a bit about building.
We now seem to have a cat, which decided to live in our patio in the autumn of 2023, so sometimes we might be looking for cat-sitters.
En 2024 queremos empezar a construir una extensión, pués necesitaremos alguien que entienda de construcción.
Ahora parece que tenemos una gata.Idiomas

Lorraine would love to meet someone who can make her speak Greek! Been studying for years, but no way to practice.Alojamiento
Upstairs, private double room with double bed, shared bathroom. The stairs are very narrow! We'll provide breakfast, lunch and dinner, but might not always be around to cook it (would be nice to share cooking, we're both chefs, but good to have a break sometimes!) No smoking in the house.
We prefer to start at about 10am, and work through to about 3 pm. We normally do Spanish style big lunch, small snacks in the evening.Algo más...
Our house is in the village of Bedmar. From the village there are buses to Jaén and to Úbeda, and at 8am there's a wonderful train from Madrid to Jódar-Úbeda, just near us. (It then continues on to Almería.)
We might be able to take you somewhere by car, depending on what we're doing. It's a very small village, just a few bars and shops, not much going on, but perfect if you like walking, or just relaxing somewhere peaceful. We now have wifi and mobiles work fine here. We love listening to music, and Serafin usually uses the telly to watch quiz games and the news in the evening. In the summer it gets VERY VERY hot. But there is a really nice, big, cheap, public swimming pool.
In the autumn, winter and spring months the weather is usually dry and sunny, winter can be pretty cold at night, but great for walking. Sometimes we get rain, but not often.Un poco más de información

David and I had a wonderful stay in this lovely house of yours. We were a bit cold during the first weeks but the weather got a lot better and we were even able to enjoy a few meals on the rooftop. And what a beautiful landscape!
Cleo is the best cat we've ever met and we miss her very much <3

Seradin in total contrast is quiet and a bit grumpy but still very nice and this contrast just works.
Lorraine is also a cook and of you want to experience somme of Spain's best food you have to go there. I have to say I got probably the best food in my life… read more
Thank you so much for your amazing work - should anyone ever need a carpenter we can honestly recommend this great lad. A perfectionist with wood. Plus he's polite and calm, has hollow legs, (ie, he eats a lot!) but just don't ask him to do the washing up too often!!! Good luck in Costa Rica, hope we can meet up again one day.
