We are Esme and Will originally from the UK and our finca in Aragon is an old farmhouse sitting on top of a hill with beautiful views across the campo near the town of Caspe. We discovered the house in summer of 2014 and fell in love with its elegance, surroundings and potential. The house is interesting historically as it was used by the republican airforce and resistance as headquarters during the Spanish Civil War in the fight against fascism. The house has been derelict for over 40 years and has 4 hectares of woods and farmland around it plus 200 mature olive trees. We are completely off the grid, so our first tasks have been to install a solar powered electricity system, re-connect the house to the local water system and install an eco-friendly sewerage system. We are currently in the process of renovating the house and barn and planning the gardens, including a vegetable garden, the planting of fruit trees, grape vines and an almond grove. We would love some help with all aspects of the house, garden, fields and woodland; but most especially plumbing, plastering and some general building tasks.

We have amazing Spanish neighbours and friends as well as people from Holland, England who has discovered this fabulous hidden gem of an area! There are many walks, fabulous local wildlife and birds, a nearby swimming river and a lake for sailing. There are many fiestas in the local towns and opportunities to talk Spanish at the many local Spanish parties we get invited to regularly.
