Description
Hi, I'm Peque, the matriarch cat of this humble shelter. The blonde cat next to me is Lola and the black dog is Michelle, who takes care of all of us.
The big head on the other side of the window is Nacho, although she often prefers that you call her Neis.
He's a grumpy old man and... but often she's a sweetheart.
He lost his compass long time ago and a lot of things continue coming to her mind but she hardly manages to focus. Well, sometimes it depends on colors in the wind.
We need help.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
It will be very easy for you to find something you love doing with complete freedom to apply our artistic footprint and, well, we hope to learn together from each other. We share what we are and what we have here and the place gives us the gift of sunsets in fire and wine and... sometimes some friend will help us to create passionate moments.
First of all, you will find here friendship and nature. You will sure practice Spanish and some English if you wish. There will be music, some art, gardening and horticulture and, slowly, we must continue the greenhouse building works and some other things. So you will also have the opportunity to learn how to hit a hammer.
But the most important thing is: we love learning anything together while we enjoy like babies shaking our rattles.
Help
We are trying to build a hydroponic garden and a built-in greenhouse.
We're turning an old warehouse into a… well, we don't know exactly where we're going to but it's looking nice and, as you can imagine, there are stuffs to do anyplace you look at.
Cats usually go our own way although we are quite cuddly, but help in caring for dogs is always welcome. There are four doggies and two bipeds sapiens, Judith and Neis, who spend the day moving things from one place to another.
It's a little mess.

Accommodation
The accommodation is in our own home, in a confortable private room for the guests with a large bed and a good bathroom and kitchen shared with us, like the rest of the house.
What else ...
We are located northwest of La Rioja, the land of wines. The Camino de Santiago passes very close, just seven kilometers away. You will find us in a rural environment in the middle course of the Tirón river valley, sheltered by the Sierra de La Demanda. Herramélluri has just over a hundred inhabitants.
About two thousand years ago the place was populated by a Roman settlement on the route that linked the Mediterranean with the Castilian plateau.
Daily public transport to Haro (18km), Logroño (50km), Vitoria (60km) and Bilbao (90km) and also to Burgos, Zaragoza or Madrid through Santo Domingo de La Calzada. Railway station in Miranda de Ebro 26 km.

And the exchange was really good. One can see that the host treats you with respect.
Sorprendente para su juventud. Me encanta.
I lived a great experience with them and they left a very special mark here.
A lovely couple.
