Description:
- We are looking for people to help us develop our small-holding in the West Algarve. Minimum stay is two weeks.
- Duties will include care of horses and dogs plus helping us to develop the small holding including weeding, clearing, planting, running irrigation and developing animal housing.
- You will walk the dogs and feed the horses twice a day plus work 4 hours per day, Tuesday to Friday and then all day Saturday.
- Accommodation would be in our caravan which has an electric supply, a seperate bedroom, a kitchenette with gas rings, plus a dining / seating area. There is a portaloo in the caravan which would need to be maintained by the volunteers.
- Volunteers will be provided with food to cook for themselves in the caravan.
- The accommodation is suitable for a couple or two individuals as the seating area can also be converted into a bed.

This is an incredibly beautiful area within a stones throw of the natural parque it is great for walking, horse riding and surfing.

If you are a capable rider there may be some riding available

Highlights:
This is a beautiful area and we would be happy to answer any questions you might have.

As we are on the outskirts of the village (5/10 min walk) and this is a quiet area, we feel that this project is more suitable for two individuals traveling together or a couple.

There is only one caravan so individuals traveling together would have to share. It is possible to make a second bed in the dining area or sleep on the bench seats.
