Descripción
We are a young family, originally from Germany, who recently bought 3 hectares of land close to Gijón, with an old house, a barn and a shed we want to reform. Our vision is to create a small permaculture community with a forest garden and some animals (chickens, sheep) which offers space and food for workshops and to experiment with traditional and new low-tech solutions for a more sustainable life, while staying in contact with our neighbours and city people.
We (Julia and Max) both speak Spanish, English and German, our daughter (5) speaks Spanish and German. Julia also speaks Thai.

Julia and me took a PDC (Permaculture Design Course) in Thailand back in 2020 and we are happy to share our, so far, limited knowledge :) and let you take part in designing the shape of our project in an early stage. We can also give you insights on our experience looking for a land and the legal aspects we learned about, take you to a Sidrería, our friends' places, the local hippie market... Max plays Guitar and every instrument available and would love to have around musicians to play with. We are also into food conservation, making combucha, oat milk, bread spreads...

Ayuda
There are many tasks like fencing, help with chickens and sheep, the veggie garden and our mini forest, cutting back and pulling out brambles, general cleaning, maintenance, gardening... and - very important - support us with the house renovation, in a mix of conventional and natural building. The main projects this summer involve new beams for a part of the house, building a rocket mass heater and finishing a french drain. We will work with concrete, limestone, steel, natural stones and plastic pipes ;) A little side project could be making a green roof for our bathroom.

There is room to improve our Spanish, and Max' English... and if you are interested in practicing German, we can do that as well.
Alojamiento
ALLERGIC people be aware that we have two cats.
We have a camper van, and a room in the house which which is half open to a room under construction. It's super basic, not very private and without electricity or heating.
For the summer months, we can provide tents with everything you need for sleeping provided. (Tents could also be put in the upper barn, a bit protected from rain.)
There is a hot outdoor shower and a compost toilet (both with a roof), and a shared kitchen inside and outside. We will provide food (mostly vegetarian). The idea is to organise cooking together and usually have meals together, especially lunch.
Algo más...
We are located in Asturias, a lovely place in northern Spain with some amazing nature. Gijón is its biggest city, capital of surf, and from our place you can go by bike in <30min to the city and the beach. (Way back is more like 40 minutes due to going uphill.) We have two bikes our volunteers can borrow. The bus stop is a ~35min walk away. Around the corner, you can go for a hike to Monte Deva.

We both work online, so having a reliable internet connection is vital to us. We have a mobile router have plans to put a LTE antenna on the roof, but so far it was always ok.

First of all, thank you so much Julia, Max and Maya for the amazing time we spent together. Being at your place made me feel so balanced. The project is just in it's children shoes, that's why of course not everything is perfect and sometimes little wild but that's what I loved so much about. I had the feeling I could… read more
After a cancelled stay elsewhere I was desperate for a new place and I struck gold with Max and Julia and their daughter Maya. Their place is in an amazing spot in the hills above Gijon, with many fruit trees, meadows and views facing Mount Deva and down into the city. I was instantly… read more
