  Description

  I have lived and worked in Spain since 2010, previously living in UK, and the restoration of my abandoned family home in the village has been one of my passions. I like to spend as much time as possible in my village home, only 45min drive from Pamplona where I live and work. I’ll spend some weekends or holidays there doing jobs or just enjoying the village life. This part of Navarra is much warmer and sunnier than the north, and often on a dull wet day in Pamplona a visit to the village gives you a treat of warmth and sun.
  The home is in a very basic state, has a basic pv solar installation which provides the minimum needs, it has a hot shower and toilet, basic cooking facilities and bedrooms.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  The travelers can get to know the rural village life in the south of Navarra and explore the surrounding region. The village is on the cusp of the Bardenas national park and the Rio Aragon flows near by. The climate is warmer and sunnier relative to the North and some spring and autumn days can feel like summer.
  
  The summer days are hot and a festive buzz fills the village as many families come back to the village to enjoy the holiday season. There are the fiestas of the village and surrounding villages where you will find traditional festivities of music in the streets, parades. The village has an excellent outdoor swimming pool surrounded by lush grass and a bar/restaurant.
  
  I speak English and Spanish fluently and worked for my fist 2 years in Spain as an English teacher. If language learning is part of your goals we can work on that too! :)

  The house needs a lot of work that I’m happy to chip away at. You could say there are a variety of projects that I have in mind, all with different scales of priority, and I would like to think that different workawayers could assist on a project to suit them and be a general helping hand and good company. My hope is to find solutions that work with the features of the old house and that are eco friendly.
  
  Some of the examples of help that a workawayer could contribute with:
  Households chores like: help move some household items, cook a meal, get the shopping in, clean up.
  Light DIY activities: fetch a tool, hold a ladder , mix some mortar, help mount furniture, help to clear up.
  Garden/yard activities: Weeding, watering.
  
  I also have a patch of farm land (Huerto) that is next to the river, 20min walk, that hasn’t been attended to for years. I have it low down on my priorities but someone with this passion could explore it more!

  Possibilité d'accueillir les animaux

  Happy to have a guest with a pet although its something to agree on. General expectation: - Clean up the dropping - Respect furniture: animals should not rest directly on furniture or bedding. - no aggressive animals - Owner should be able to control the pet.
