  Description

  ****Last Minute Work Away****
  
  Hello
  
  We are currently looking for a Workawayer, to start ASAP, to help out with our space, mostly with cleaning, general maintenance, a bit of DIY, gardening and some house/dog sitting when we are away.
  
  You will be sharing the house with one displaced woman from Ukraine.
  Your room has an en-suite bathroom, kitchen and living room will be shared.
  
  We are a creative centre in Andalusia, but we are closed for winter. We didn’t plan on having anyone stay here in the winter, and we planned to close the building, but as we are unable to close it anymore, we would like to have one more person join us.
  
  There are a few very important things to consider before applying:
  1. The house is cold and there is no heating - there’s a fireplace in the living room, but this is a space only for someone who doesn’t mind the cold and has enough warm clothes with them.
  2. We prefer people with a car, but at least holding a clean driving license for more than 10 years.
  
  In exchange for your time and help, we will supply you with free accommodation and basic food shopping.
  If this all goes well, we can consider long term.
  
  ********************************************************************************************
  
  We are a creative couple from London, well technically one Austrian and one British, and are working on our dream of creating a not-for-profit artistic centre here. One of us is a furniture designer and the other a playwright and director. We speak English, German, Hebrew and Spanish, and a little bit of all sorts of other languages, as we've travelled extensively.
  
  We run a vegetarian/vegan household, have two puppies and one cat.
  
  We can offer a private en-suite room, share some of our home-cooked delicious vegan/vegetarian meals, great company as well as loads of space to do things.
  
  We are located in the middle of the Sea of Olives with no neighbours for miles, but we are by a main road (so it can get quite noisy sometimes) just outside Úbeda, a UNESCO world heritage site and home to a buzzing community of artisan craftspeople and a lot of cultural events, which is only 10 minutes by car.
  
  The whole area offers loads of cultural activities, as well as plenty of options to explore nature in the two national parks nearby. We're also pretty close to Granada and the coast.
  
  We are not near public transport, but we can help with local transport when we are available. We will also arrange at least two weekly trips into town for all your shopping needs. Walking to Úbeda up a steep hill would take over an hour.
