About the workproject

We need 1 volunteer

We are Marianne, Josh and Owen. We live in the countryside of l'Ametlla de Mar, between Barcelona and Valencia, 7 km from the seaside. I run the Bed and Breakfast, Josh sells, installs, maintains and repairs powersystems. We have a son called Owen who was born in 2014.

At the moment I am looking for someone who's motherlanguage is Spanish and preferably Catalan. Until the olive crop end of November work around the house is mainly landwork and painting (and teaching me).

For the olive crop we are looking for two people for a week to help us collect all the olives.

For next year July and August we are looking for help with the B&B as Owen is home the greater part of the high season. One person who is flexible in doing all sorts of chores.

Generally we exchange accomodation and meals for 5 hours of work a day. A car is a necessity as there's no public transport and the closest TV village is 7 km.
