Life At La Casa Del Viento And Around Lanjaron
Posted by Emma Louise on Tuesday, March 30, 2010
Hola! I'm Dan, a 21 year old Welshman that doubles up as the latest in a long line of willing workers that have found their way to La Casa del Viento amongst theLas Alpujarras mountain range in deep Southern Spain.

The funny thing is that weather here changes so quickly that it can be rainy in the morning and sunny after ten minutes to start to rain again after a while.But when the sun comes out it s really nice and quite warm and you have a beautifu...
