Description
We are an easy going family looking for help on our little farm in the Spanish mountains. We have a 13 hectare farm in the beautiful province of Asturias.
The 13 hectares has been used for cattle farming for the last 50 years and we are in the process of getting to grips with the land, rewilding bits of it for wildlife whilst also creating a self sufficient smallholding.
The work is variable, feeding animals, helping in the kitchen, helping with our 2 sons (4 years & 18 months old), working in the veg patch.
We really would love some artists who are interested in doing nature murals.
We have 3 dogs, horses, cattle, chickens and ducks. All our animals are very friendly and have grown up around our two young boys, but are largest dog is BIG, so if you're uncomfortable around dogs we may not be the place for you.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
We live in a wonderful area with lots of fiestas over the summer, amazing hikes, horse riding, canoeing and the coast just 10 miles away and the mountains of the Picos de Europa a similar distance. We can offer lifts into town and elsewhere when we're heading that way, use of bicycles etc.
We're still working on our Spanish but are happy to practice and there are lots of friendly locals to practice with too.

General help around the finca, maintaining paths, cleaning out animal areas, building ponds, fencing, cooking, weeding the veg patch, clearing areas, artwork and sculpture creation always welcomed. We'd also love people who would be willing to look after our two young boys every so often.
Carpentry is something we would love someone to offer as we have some beehive ideas we would like creating.

Autres infos...
We are a 20 minute walk into the centre of Arriondas full of bars, shops and the River Sella, famous for the Descenso del Sella canoe race in August. As written above, we can offer lifts into town most days and elsewhere if we have space and are heading somewhere. There is a little train in Arriondas that goes to Oviedo in one direction and the coast the other, plus regular buses around the area. We also have 2 new mountain bikes available for your use.
Cangas de Onis is a 20 minute drive from us, a bit more touristy and the gateway to the Picos de Europa. We can set you up on hiking to the Cares gorge and up into the mountains but we also have great hikes up into El Sueve right from our front door.
