  Active Family Farm in Southern Spain Looking for Hands-On Help Renovating a Campervan and Farmhouses – Surf, Farm Animals & Adventure!
  
  ¡Hola! We're a big, warm-hearted, and very active family living on a beautiful cork and cattle farm 400 hectares in the hills between Los Barrios and Algeciras, Southern Spain – just 30 minutes from Tarifa, 15 minutes from Gibraltar, and an hour from Málaga airport (easy BlaBlaCar or bus access). Our lifestyle is all about healthy living, staying busy outdoors, and enjoying the amazing natural surroundings.
  
  We’re currently looking for an active, motivated volunteer during September 2025 to help with a few exciting renovation projects, including:
  
  A restoration of our vintage Airstream campervan
  
  Fixing up a few farm houses and outdoor structures
  
  The ideal person would be hands-on, energetic, and have some experience or skills in property renovation, carpentry, or general DIY.
  
  🌾 About Us
  We're a family of five:
  
  Mum & Dad, both very welcoming and always around to support
  
  Archie,18-year-old boy, who will be working alongside you every day
  
  Leon, 16-year-old boy
  
  Ines, 15-year-old girl
  
  Plus lots of young cousins nearby and our extended animal family!
  
  We live on a working cork and cattle farm, and there’s also our main business on the farm a farm school run by just next door( Granja Escuela en Los Barrios)
  – full of animals, friendly local workers, and often a few visiting school groups learning about farm life and local.
  
  🛠️ A Day in the Life Here
  Here’s what a typical day might look like:
  
  07:30 – Wake up
  
  07:45 – Healthy breakfast
  
  08:00–13:00 – Work on the camper or houses (with breaks, of course!)
  
  13:00 – Help prepare lunch
  
  14:00 – Family lunch together
  
  15:00 – Tidy up, then rest
  
  16:00 – Head out to the beach! (Kitesurfing, wingfoiling, surfing)
  
  19:30 – Return home
  
  21:00 – Dinner
  
  22:00 – Chill time or early night
  
  We keep ourselves very active, and there's always something happening – so we’d love to host someone who enjoys being on the go and doesn’t mind getting their hands dirty.
  
  🏞️ Things to Do Around Us
  When you're not working, there are loads of adventures waiting right here on the farm and in the local area:
  
  Mountain biking, hiking & trail running
  
  Cliff jumping, wild swimming in the farm’s natural lake
  
  Fishing and dirt biking
  
  Day trips to Tarifa (famous for its surf and Moroccan vibes)
  
  Ferry across to Morocco – just 30 minutes away
  
  🧑‍🔧 Who We're Looking For
  We're hoping to find someone who is:
  
  Practical and physically active
  
  Experienced in building/renovation/carpentry (or at least handy)
  
  Sociable, curious, and easy-going
  
  Genuinely excited about cultural exchange and daily life with a Spanish family
  
  If you love the outdoors, want to be part of a buzzing family atmosphere, and enjoy building cool things with your hands – you’ll love it here.
  
  Let us know your availability for September 2025, and feel free to ask any questions.
  
  ¡Hasta pronto!

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Staying with us means becoming part of a busy, welcoming Andalusian-Spanish family where no two days are the same! You'll experience daily life on a traditional cork and cattle farm, help with hands-on renovation projects, and join our big family for shared meals, beach trips, and plenty of laughter. You'll also have the chance to learn about local farming traditions, including cork harvesting, livestock care, and how rural life works in southern Spain. With young people around all the time, you’ll practice Spanish naturally in a relaxed setting — and we love learning about your language and culture too! You’ll meet extended family, local farm workers, and visitors at the farm school next door. Whether it's trying homemade food, watching a football match with the kids, or heading out to the surf spots of Tarifa, this is a truly immersive and lively cultural exchange.
