  Descrição

  Hello
  
  We are Pete and Lottie. For the past seven years we have been renovating an old farmhouse in Galicia in NW Spain. We have also been working on the land and creating a garden that has become something of a passion now! We try our best at growing vegetables and really could benefit from learning more about permaculture and more natural and efficient ways of growing. We are both artists and when we are not outside working or working on the house renovations, we love to paint in the studio and make our own work. Cooking is another great pleasure. We enjoy this simple life here and the peace and quiet or the area and are happy to be immersed in nature and we hope that it is somewhere that you would like to come and stay and enjoy too.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  Because of the rural location of the house and the nature of the area, this work away position is not close to any major cities or towns. The local culture is mostly about farming, food and fishing. And of course the Galician bag pipes, Gaita. There are weekly and seasonal markets at Viviero, Ortigueira and Vilalaba. And at different times of the year there are saints days and festivals in the villages and local towns. There is a famous music festival held in Ortigueira each July celebrating Celtic Music from around the world.
  Within twenty minutes you can be on the beach surfing or swimming or canoeing along the Rio Sor. There are hundreds of kilometres of mountain tracks that are ideal for mountain and off road cycling and hiking. The Agua Caida waterfall is walking distance from the house and the Rio Sor, Spain's cleanest river is 500 m .

  Ajuda

  Hello we are now looking for help with the garden, veg garden, and for splitting logs and helping tidy up a barn. This would be a two week max stay and could be less. we need strong, fit people who are happy to adapt and don't mind mucking in and going with the flow. each day will be different depending on the weather. this is not a house sitting job, it is helping with us as a family and helping us get our firewood supply ready for winter, tidying up a shed and garden and field work. It would be a few hours work each day.
  
  we are looking for mature, motivated people that can turn their hand to most things like putting up shelves, digging, strimming bracken, using a petrol bush whacker, weeding, etc. we are keen to learn about permaculture too so if there's anyone that has these skills we would love to meet you!
  
  We offer somewhere to stay in a beautiful and isolated part of Galicia, not far from the surf beaches of Esteiro (O Barqueiro) and Playa San Roman near O Vicedo, You would have a lovely room in an old farmhouse and your own sitting room and plenty of free time to explore the area, surf and relax.
  
  We would provide you with plenty of good food and drink and fresh fruit and vegetables from the garden. There's a fire pit to sit around in the evening after the days work and special places to chill and relax. The house is not close to shops or bars so you would need your own transport for getting about and going out and be happy being somewhere reasonably remote and quiet.
  
  If you feel this is something that interests you and you would like to discuss further then please message me and we can talk more about it. My apologies if I am a little slow to reply , we are super busy right now but I shall get back to you as soon as I can. Please bear with me! This position would suit a couple who are on the move this summer or a single person.

  Algo mais...

  This is a great opportunity for anyone wishing to check out of the hustle and bustle of life and get some peace and quiet for a month. With no distractions of modern day life, enjoy the experience of living amongst the trees and birdsong and being immersed in nature. At night listen to the owls calling from the woods, wonder at the stars and in the day, breathe in the fresh pure air and enjoy the simple pleasures that come with living life at a gentler pace.
  
  Because we use wood for cooking and for heating it is important that our workaway partner is skilled at lighting wood stoves and is super vigilant about fire safety etc
  
  Loving and feeding the cats is very important too!
  
  and we are looking for someone who loves plants and gardening.
  We hope that you love the idea of being so immersed in nature .It really is an idyllic spot but you do need to be able to make your own entertainment and be happy living surrounded by cows and trees!
  
  In your free time you have this beautiful area to explore, miles of coastal walks and beaches, hiking along the Rio Sor or visiting Santiago de Compostela, 1.45 minutes or A Coruña 1 hr 15 or Ferrol, 50 minutes. Nearby Viviero is a lovely bustling fishing town with some nice places to eat and shops to explore. Ortigueira is the closest town with a choice of supermarkets. The nearest bar is about ten minutes drive away .
  
  The best part about being here is the peace, the privacy and the stunning beaches and nature. Its a place to recharge your batteries.
