  Description

  Hola Workawayers!
  
  Currently in Germany but coming soon!
  
  We have Workawayers and friends living and taking care of the land all the year :)
  
  We are a German-Spanish family with a finca close to the "Serra de Tramuntana" in Mallorca that travels between 🇪🇦-🇩🇪 a few times at year with the dream in a middle-long period of transforming this half forest (pine, oak, olive, almond and carob trees) half farmland (at the moment just a Feld in Winter with around 50 sheeps that take care of the grass and fertilize the soil) in an edible forest, so, an ecosystem where humans and animals can live in balance following the permaculture principles.
  
  I'm a Boatbuilder and love wood, so always I have wood projects going on in the finca.
  
  We like to share our land with all our friends from all around the world, so often we have visits an friends staying at the land, even when we aren't there ! And of course when you become our friend, this status will be yours too and you will be free to visit when you want.
  
  The rest of the year we live in a Tiny House on an eco-cultural community in the forest in North Germany.
  
  We don't want that you feel as you work for us, we want that you feel part of the family and the project, for that reason, there is any amount of hours that you have to work at the land, you choose how much amount of energy you give to the project every day and in exchange we offer you accomodation in a Caravan or a Bell tent (that could be shared with other workawayers) and we don't offer meals, instead we will cook together and apport similar amounts of food to prepare the meals or you will cook by your self, as many evenings we visit our relatives in the north of the island or we are in Germany and you are with other WA at the land. So we don't pay for food.
  
  We have bicycles at your disposal (most of them a little bit broken by the WA, if you want to use them you should repair them), so you can move around and discover the area.
  Our project is close to Serra de Tramuntana where you can find a village with supermarket, bank, library, bars with WiFi, Swimmingpool, bus stop connected with the beach and all the basics, just 10 min by foot.
  
  Bring with you bed sheets/sleeping bag, eco products of higiene (shampoo, teeth paste, Deo, etc) and mosquito repellent please :)
  
  In the summer We have our old VW van and we spent the weekend at the beach, camping, going to parties or visiting friends and we invite all workawayers to join us as one more of the family 🤗 We sleept like 5 people in there at the beach last summer!
  
  This year we bring a catamaran from germany to learn sailing, so if you are a sailor, that's your place!
  
  For more details please contact us,
  We will be really happy to answer your questions and for sure, having you as a guest!
  
  We speak Spanish, German, English, Catalán fluent and some broken French and Italian that we would love to improve.
  
  Looking forward to know you :)
