  Description

  Hello!
  
  We are Graciela and Enric, a couple from Alacant in Spain. We are planning to move and live together in a countryhouse near Orxeta (a little village in the mountains of Alacant), and we need a lot of help to do diferent things in the house. We live with 3 nice dogs, Durga, Lua and Kaki.
  
  This is an exciting project for us, and we would love to share it with people from all over the world to create the house of our dreams, start a family project and create a nice space for workshops, meetings, concerts...
  
  
  We expect 4/5 hours per day, 25 hours /week, but if you feel more comfortable working in other way we are open and flexible- food provided. Our Idea is to share our project the time you will be here, sharing time together, working together but also with time and space for you to enjoy this beautiful place and make your own.
  
  We like to start with one week of staying, so we can meet and see if we fit. After this week we can see if everyone is feeling good and decide what's next. First of all comunication, :).
  
  We are always happy to host people and enjoy new experiences!!
  
  We speak some english, french and portuguese, and we love to learn more and more. We are happy learning languages and teaching spanish and Catalan.
  
  Our land is approximately 3 km away from Orxeta (the nearest village).
  
  We also have another little house (were actually Enric is living now) in Sella, so the place to stay could be this house or the countryhouse in Orxeta, depends on the work and the state of the house in each moment.
  
  In Sella's house there is a spring of drinking water and a small river where we swim. It is a mountainous region with very much mediterranean pine grove.
  In a few kilometres we find a big area to climb. Also there are trekking routes.
  In the village (Sella and Orxeta) we find basic services as shop, bars, mail, Internet, doctor.
  
  It is forbidden to light neither any type of fire, camping gas, candles or other instruments of combustion out of the common area.
  
  
  We will provide vegetarian food and a place to sleep, we have the common house ( comfortable bed in common space with all needed), and also you can put your tent if you prefer to sleep more in nature. Please ask us before about the availability of these options.
  If you come with camping car/van we can find a place to park it near our house.
  
  We try to learn every day how to deconstruct the patriarchal society, starting with us, so please not contact us if not interested :).
  
  Internet is limited to your mobile data plan, but in Sella there are some Bars with WIFI.
  If you come with animals ask us before, please! ;). We need to talk with our animals first and see what they have to say ;).
  
  We prefer vegetarian diet.
  
  We hope to see you soon! Welcome home!
  
  We ask for people coming be able to work with more people but also be autonomous if, for example, if we are not at home for a couple of days.:).
  
  
  Write us if you have any question! HUGS!!
  Welcome home!
