    Descrição

    I am a Canadian retired teacher living in Spain. I had a knee replacement last summer, but have never recovered my strength and stamina. Weeds always grow faster than either vegetables or flowers! I would like to have somebody for a week or two to help me catch up, and to help with the re-staining of all of the wood around the property.

    I have a restored watermill with about 3500 m2 of land. The applicant needs to be happy to be around 3 large dogs. I would be looking for someone who is also generally handy, as there are always a myriad of tasks to be done..... No-one is ever bored here!

    Fibre op internet. TV with Netflix and Amazon Prime. Own room and bathroom. Minimal cooking. Barbecue skills appreciated!

    The village is small, not much “entertainment”, but 3 bars, 1 small supermarket, no public transport. Small gymnasium. Good hiking all around.

    I can help with anyone learning Spanish or learning English.

    Non smoking policy here!

    I can help with anyone trying to learn either English or Spanish. A non Spanish visitor would get to experience life in a small village in Southern Spain, or a Spanish visitor could get help with English.

    I always need help to get unwanted growth under control. This means weeding flower beds and other areas, as well as strimming, for a WorkAwayer with the strength to handle my big strimmer. Not essential. All of the wood fixtures around the place, gates, fences, etc, constantly need re-staining, and I always run out of time to do it all! There may well be various DIY tasks, IF the person has the skills. (Not essential, I am quite practical, just don’t have time!)

    I would probably prefer 1 person, but can accommodate 2 if the 2 fit the bill. And I would really prefer someone over 30, with some experience of life, and gardening. Who knows a weed from a potential flower! Work really needs to be done in the morning when we reach rising temperatures, in the summer monts, usually May to September. However, if someone wants to work in the heat, they are welcome! If it rains, some weeding can still be done, OR help with clearing out the garage/workshop. I would provide a self service breakfast and salad lunch or evening meal, plus 1 cooked meal a day. Help with barbecues is always appreciated! A visitor over 26 with a valid driving license could have some use of a car, or a lift to the nearest bus or railway station in Guadix. The only entertainment in this small village is the bars. The visitor(s) will be able to use the pool, which I usually put into operation in April, and keep in operation until October. There is fibre op internet, Netflix and Amazon Prime TV.

    The walking and hiking in the area are excellent, they tell me!
    There is much to see here, notably the Neolithic Site in Gorafe, and the Geopark, with its tours and hiking. Granada is about an hour away, with frequent buses from Guadix, 20 minutes from here. I will not attempt to list the wonders of Granada!

    And this area is one of the best in Spain for free tapas with your wine or beer……….
