Description
>>UPDATE: I'm currently looking for someone to house sit whilst I'm away from the 17th to the 28th of July. Responsibilities would include feeding the animals, watering the garden and keeping an eye on the guest/rental house. It's a popular place this in the summer, with the beach nearby. Coming in your own vehicle would be ideal, so as to be independent and mobile. This is the only availability I have right now, the normal mucking around in the garden stuff that I talk about probably wouldn't start again until October time<<
Hello! I'm Gaby. I live in a hand built wooden house in a pretty village at the foot of the medieval white hilltop town of Vejer. On the land I have various fruit trees including avocados, oranges, mangos, chirimoyas... a little vegetable garden, lots of flower beds, 10 old hens, a daft dog and a cuddly cat. I usually spend mornings in the garden and afternoons working on my art. -

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
I can offer guests a taste of life in southern Spain: eating tapas in flamenco dress 💃followed by a siesta. There are many things to see and do near by: wild beaches to surf at, nice rocks to climb, pretty towns to explore... We can talk in either English or Spanish and maybe cook together. I have a bike, an inflatable canoe, a small printing press and a beginner surf board you can borrow.

Aide
I'm generally looking for people to help in the garden and around the land. Specific tasks might include: planting, watering, weeding, strimming, pruning, clearing, digging... There's always something to do, plants don't seem to want to stop growing!
There are also plenty of handy tasks, such as a shade needing building and a hen pen redoing.
Everyone is welcome, but people with gardening and/or diy skills are particularly welcome :)
I've learnt I'm not so good at being too on top of people, so self-reliant and motivated folk are much appreciated.
I hope for four to five hours of help, five days a week. Working from 9–2, Monday to Friday, generally works well, but I’m flexible.
Chipping in with the cooking is also appreciated. If you can’t cook, it’s not a deal-breaker — I’m sure you have other superpowers — but keen cooks are definitely appreciated. -

Hébergement
You can generally stay in your own little house with its own kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. If you have to share I would let you know beforehand. Breakfast is self service, lunch and dinner we will share, along with many cups of tea!

Public transport here is lousy, but if you don't come in your own vehicle I can of course pick you up from wherever and do my best to take you to the places you would like to go to. I also have a bike you can borrow, and if you are over 25 maybe I can lend you my car from time to time.
I keep myself busy, but will do my best to include you in as much of my social life as you might be interested in. This could include dancing, climbing, surfing or just going out for a drink. -

Our accommodation was our own little house on the property, in which we felt very comfortable.
We worked mainly in the garden and we prepared the roof of the house for a new coat of paint.
The dinner together was always delicious. Gabys is a great cook, with his fantastic salads being particularly … read more
His place is a real oasis in the busy-ness of Southern Spain: a beautiful lush garden (we harvested Avocados for the first time which was such a treat!) and unique houses, that look like straight out of a fairy tale. Very inspiring for anyone … read more

Gaby cooked delicious meals for me every day and I did the washing up to make up for it.
Even after work, Gaby is a super sociable person, so we went surfing together, went for a walk and had a beer.
I can only recommend everyone to spend a few days or weeks with … read more
He is easy and pleasant to work with, but also seemed happy working independently. He was very layed back and discreet, an easy (and helpful!) person to have around. Not a keen cook, but happy to wash up … read more
The place is very beautiful and calm and Gabi is a caring, friendly and funny host. We loved to work in the garden and drinking tea or playing games together! We also had a lot of fun improving our spanish. His pets are really lovely as well. We really appreciated our stay and would love to come back another … read more
