  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  The workawayer can learn both Italian and Spanish because we are native speakers.
  
  We are usually surrounded by lovely friends, so the workawayer can meet nice people and have a pleasant and peaceful stay with us.
  
  Our house is located in a very calm area, surrounded by lemon trees and by the Segura river. So you can also relax and meditate. The house has a large internal patio and a large terrace where you can spend pleasant time.
  
  A small but well-furnished town is just 5 minutes by walk from our house and the capital, Murcia, is 9 km away and there is a cycle line directly by the house, so it's quite easy to do sport and to arrive to the city in a smooth way. We will provide a bike to enjoy getting around along the river. Besides, there is a direct public bus to the city center.
  
  Due to the fact that we run a bookshop, the workawayer will have access to hundreds of books that could be readen for free.
  
  The nearest beach is just half an hour by car and all of them are really beautiful.

  Aide

  The main help will be with the children (a girl of 7 and a boy of 2,5) and with the house.
  
  We would need a person with a driving license, just in case, because we live in a semi-rural area and sometimes is helpful.
  
  We would appreciate someone who loves children and is good at cooking.
  
  All this time we are reforming part of the house, whoever has learned about carpentry and construction will be welcome!

  Hébergement

  The accommodation is a large house with an internal patio, a terrace, a bathroom (and another one under construction). The workawayer will have a room all to himself and a bicycle to move around with.
  
  We follow a Mediterranean diet, so it includes occasionally fish and meat, but we mainly cook vegetarian dishes. We also buy mainly organic ingredients, so the person who will stay with us will enjoy healthy food and quality products.
  
  It must be taken into account that Murcia is a very hot city, so you must love Sun!!
  
  In case that you're a smoker, it is allowed but just in the open spaces of the house, not indoor.
