Need help with gardening near Competa, Spain

  Description

  The garden in southern Spain is a never ending project. We need help with chopping and pruning, weeding and watering. There are often other jobs to do such as maintenance on the house, painting and cleaning.
  The accommodation is usually in our guest house although if it is in the busy summer months we rent this out and accommodation would be in our yurt which is a very solid tent with a good double bed and mosquito net provided.
  Workaways are expected to help with the household chores such as cleaning their own place and daily jobs such as cooking and clearing up afterwards.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Travellers could learn English, I could teach them flute or penny whistle traditional Scottish and Irish music, they would enjoy my cooking as I love cooking and can cater for vegans and vegetarians as well as meat eaters. They would love my beautiful garden and swimming pool. This is a healing space of tranquility and beauty.

  We would love to have help building some concrete steps in our garden
  
  Just need a few sockets correctly fitted.
  
  Watering the plant pots and sweeping the terrace is always helpful, weeding is a forever job.
  I am learning Spanish so if anyone could help speak to me in Spanish that would be a bonus.
  I often have to work away myself and my husband could do with help cooking and cleaning and care for our cats...
