Rural family life with your own apartment in Granada, Spain

  Description

  I'm Andres, and I will be hosting Workawayers together with my parents at our family cortijo in Cullar, Granada, in southern Spain. I will be there with them during the stays and will be the main contact for Workawayers. I will organise the day-to-day help and explain the tasks.
  
  My parents live on the ground floor and are both self-sufficient, managing their own everyday lives. We would like to welcome one person or a couple for a temporary stay in the self-contained apartment upstairs, sharing a little of our everyday life in the countryside.
  
  We have a vegetable garden, fruit trees and chickens. We are looking for friendly company for my parents and a helping hand with light tasks around the cortijo. This could suit someone who enjoys a quiet rural setting, is considerate and patient, and would like to spend time with a local family..

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  You will have the opportunity to experience everyday family life in rural Andalusia, spend time with my parents and become familiar with the routines of a vegetable garden, fruit trees and keeping chickens. We hope to get to know each other and share something of our different backgrounds during your stay.
  
  You will also have time to explore the landscapes, villages and walking routes of this part of Granada. Basic English is enough for everyday communication; fluency is not required.

  Aide

  Help would include spending some time with my parents, light tasks in the vegetable garden, looking after the fruit trees and chickens, occasional light cleaning and small repairs, depending on what is needed and your abilities.
  
  We ask for around 3–4 hours of help in total on each helping day, with 2–3 days off per week. For a couple, these hours are shared between the two of you: the total remains 3–4 hours, not 3–4 hours each. We will agree on the tasks, schedule and days off together before you arrive.

  Hébergement

  We offer a self-contained apartment on the upper floor of the cortijo, with its own entrance and private bathroom. My parents live downstairs, so you will have your own space and privacy.
  
  It is a charming, fully furnished home with wooden ceilings and space for up to four people. It has a bed, a fully equipped kitchen, a refrigerator, household appliances, internet, air conditioning and heating. Although the apartment can accommodate four people, we are looking for one helper or a couple.
  
  We provide groceries at no cost so that you can prepare your own meals in the apartment.

  Autres infos...

  We can host throughout the year, with the dates of each stay to be agreed and confirmed in advance. Availability for specific dates is subject to that confirmation. Dates and length of stay are flexible, from around one week to several months, with no fixed minimum or maximum in advance.
  
  Having your own car would be ideal for exploring the area. If you do not have a car, we can discuss collection and possible help with some local journeys; please agree on this with us before you arrive.
  
  Cúllar is in the Altiplano of Granada, in the Granada UNESCO Global Geopark area, with striking landscapes, ravines, viewpoints and rural villages. You can explore Cúllar's historical and geological routes, discover the Geopark's landscapes, or enjoy walks and cycling routes in the Sierra de Baza Natural Park.
  
  Approximate driving distances from Cúllar town: Baza 23 km (around 20 minutes), Granada 120 km (around 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes), Murcia 160 km (around 1 hour 45 minutes), and Málaga 240 km (around 2 hours 40 minutes). These are approximate distances and times from the town, rather than the precise location of the cortijo, and may vary with the route and traffic. We will share directions when arranging your arrival.
