  Description

  Hi, I'm Mike, I have been restoring my beautiful old water mill I bought here in Spain, doing almost all the work completely by myself. Now the majority of the work is finished but there are still some big projects that need to be finished, so I am looking for people to lend a hand. At the moment rebuilding a small ruin, and also some other building projects, cleaning, digging, gardening, etc - it will be hard work (good healthy countryside workouts:) but I can adjust it to your experience and preferences. Average 4 hours/day of work, 5 days/week but if you're ok with it I may ask you to work more some days and have extra days off.
  
  My wife and I will cook you delicious vegetarian meals, or you're welcome to cook for yourself in our kitchen. All your meals are included when you're at the house. The house is in a very beautiful area inside the Parque Nacional de la Sierra de Grazalema, with a small river next to the house, great to cool off in :) There is great hiking, cycling and rock climbing nearby. However, we are quite isolated and there are no shops or public transport within walking distance. If you have your own car or bicycle you will have more freedom of movement, otherwise you'll have to catch rides with us when we go to town for errands. We try to go out fairly often and have a social life, so you're always welcome to come with :)

  Autres infos...

  I am into rock climbing, paragliding, mushroom gathering, and hiking so you're welcome to come along! There is a beautiful reservoir nearby where we like to swim, although recently it has been too low to swim there :-/ You can always cool off in the river swimming hole next to the house. There's a few nice towns around where you can experience real rural life in Spain.

  Possibilité d’accueillir les digital nomads

  The wifi is usually pretty good at the mill - working with very large files could be a problem, but normal streaming etc works fine on the whole

• 

  Espace pour garer des vans

  This is a possibility, depends a lot on the size of the van...

• 

  Possibilité d'accueillir les animaux

  It depends on the pet and where it will stay - no dogs in the house, we have a cat who is very timid and a dog in the house would make her life hell :-/
