Description
I am a retired teacher with a small holding living a rural area in Guaro. I have 1 cat, 2 dogs, 6 chickens, 2 ducks and a few pigs. Large variety of trees. I am aiming to be self sufficient.
Coin sits on the northern foot of the Sierra de Mijas, inland Málaga, overlooking the spectacular Guadalhorce valley, one of the most fertile areas in southern Spain, where the beautiful landscape is covered in orchards and farmland and affords beautiful mountain views.
The town itself has grown in popularity and has become a destination for foreign residents, wanting to live in a more authentic Andalusian environment. The town offers good shopping, dining and leisure facilities and is located just 20 minutes drive from the coastal town of Marbella.
Coin offers an escape from the typical Costa del Sol seaside resort and is a good jump off point to see other areas of inland Andalusia.
I can pick you up at the bus stop in Coin, 15 minutes from the Finca,
(buses from Malaga, Marbella and Fuengerola approx. every hour))
There is some stunning walks, areas to paint or just relax and observe the local nature.
In my house no two days are the same.

Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Ingrid & Amaya)
Trying to give jobs in the very heavy rain was exceedingly difficult but we managed to do a few of the things always left on my to do list.
The girls settled in very quickly and Ingrid tried to get over her dislike of birds. Amaya just got on with any job that was asked of her. They worked on bigger projects putting a new sunshade over the chicken… read more

Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Patrycja)
I am impressed with Patrycja she settled in very well. Her work was always a great standard, plus she liked weeding. Patricia got to try out some new skills like trimming the orange trees and worked wonders on the weeds around the top part of the house. Patrycja can work on her own initiative as she worked on different areas, the path to the river… read more

We enjoyed the time with Sue on her Finca a lot. The "Mini Casa" is such a sweet place for the workawayers, so we felt really balanced between time with Sue and time on our own. As she has written in her profile, there are different tasks everyday, we spent a lot of the days in the vegetable garden, helped with cutting bamboo and trees and… read more

A great couple, they fitted within hours. No challenge was too big. They could see the tasks that needed to be done and got straight on with the task. They experienced new machinery and how it cuts down the time needed to complete. The only shame was due to the weather conditions nothing could be cleared properly. Thank you again for all your… read more
