We're a middle aged couple living in Galicia, northern spain and are urgently looking for reliable helpx/housesitters from 30th january 2013 for 2-3 months, we need to travel to a different part of Spain to care for parents who have to have operations and will stay with them until they're OK again. Your own transport is essential as we can only offer the use of bicycles. We live in a big house with 2 very gentle and docile dogs, 3km from the nearest village. Lots of en-suite accommodation, central heating as well as two wood burning stoves, internet via satellite, etc. The area is beautiful, rural and tranquil, there are english, german, dutch people living not too far away, many involved in self-sufficiency lifestyles and ecological farming who would be happy to assist with anything which crops up. Partners, children and/or grandchildren are also welcome. If you are interested or want further information please contact us as soon as possible. Jo & Noelle
