    Description

    Hello! We are Marina and Maro.
    We have just moved to a beautiful field in the most beautiful valley in the area, in Malaga in the south of Spain.
    It is a land full of fruit trees, life and a river of clean and transparent water.
    A wonderful environment!
    We have two young dogs, Rio and Terra, and cats, chickens, grown-up childhood turtles...

    We have started a beautiful adventure with many projects and open to new ideas, so it will be a space for you to contribute all your experience and creativity!
    We are designing a life with the principles of permaculture (and recently syntropic agroforestry), edible forest, vegetable garden, bioconstruction, living with animals, caring for the environment and local biodiversity, reforestation and regeneration of the ecosystem, and much more! All from the care and respect for people, the community and nature.

    We have a caravan with 2/3 seats and we have it available for you! You could also camp by the river on the farm itself!
    The site is beautiful and the food is vegetarian (ideally organic, ideally from our garden!).

    Small caravan camping on the farm, or tent by the river, as you prefer!
    The house is in the countryside but has all the comforts of a standard house, even fireplaces (not always) for winter nights and candles ;) The house is constantly being built in small stages.
    There is a dry toilet and a separate communal bathroom in the house with easy access.
    If you decide to spend the nights listening to the force of the water between avocado trees, you can stay next to the river in a camping tent. Into the wild!!

    Pequeña caravana de camping en la finca, o tienda de campaña junto al río, a tu preferencia!
    La casa es de campo pero tiene todas las comodidades de una casa estándar, hasta chimeneas(no siempre) para las noches de invierno y candela ;) La casa esta en constante construccion por pequeñas etapas.
    Hay baño seco y baño comun separado en la casa con facil acceso.
    Si te lanzas a pasar las noches oyendo la fuerza del agua entre aguacateros puedes instalarte junto al río en una tienda de camping. A lo salvaje!!
