  Descripción

  the Casa is a collection of personal stories with very diverse objectives. At first glance it seems that we repair a mountain shelter and take care of... some animals... in reality what we take care of and what we build are personal stories... we make "adventures" come true in the 21st century and above all we tell stories , we take care of each other and above all we share our lives...Casa is a meeting place.
  
  The profile of the volunteers could be summarized as: 1) people who climb regularly (know the classic climbing technique, rappelling...) We do not teach climbing to people who do not have the technique, nor the habit of doing it, it is a responsibility that does not We assume (we need you to have the climbing technique, we do not need you to have a high degree of difficulty climbing) 2) people with a habit of physical activity 3) adventurous people who do not need the city 4) people who know how to do things with their hands 5) this is not a project to learn Spanish, we speak in English.
  
  This is a project where volunteers give life to a large town that is almost uninhabited in winter. We love that volunteers talk to current and future volunteers on WhatsApp so that they have a precise idea of the project, before coming to it.
  
  The project is a project in an isolated place in the mountains, with a very important physical component. We prefer that you stay at least a month, preferably 2 months. The people who come repeat...
  
  If what you are looking for is tranquility and relaxation... writing a long book... something similar to a quiet vacation... I think this............. is not your project.
  
  You will join a group... that is this plan... This is a group project. Here things are done chorally, in groups. We do not lock ourselves in the room... we do not cook individually... we interact with our neighbors in the town... we try to live in a Spanish...Mediterranean type community... We do not come to the town to impose city criteria ...It is not.....the idea of the project...Here when we meet a neighbor, we talk to him...about the climate...about the animals...we are interested in his life...we listen to him With respect…this is the plan for everyone.
  
  We are interested in programming for 2024, and next year 2025 >>>2026>>>>>>>>>we like to organize the arrival of volunteers well in advance, >>>>>>>>>here we do it like this , we don't improvise, >>>>>>>we program or at least we try... it's about organizing ourselves in the face of a great challenge.
  
  If you are interested in our project, if you identify with what you read, write to us. We will put you in contact with current, past and future volunteers. This is not a project to receive you the day after you write to us... The admission process is a little longer. Among other things, we ask you to talk to us, (video call) as well as with past and present volunteers by video call, so you know exactly what the project is about and the impact it has on everyone who stays.
  
  This is not a vacation hotel... nor is it valid for sedentary people... there is a high level of physical-sports activity here. This is a project that needs autonomous people
  
  We have been here for 15 years. The project....has a series of particularities... one of them is that we have many narrators sharing their trips... These are all our present and past volunteers (those who have shared the experience)....... and of course. ..in plural, we are. .that is, we have people living this project and telling what we do....that is part of the program....people who participate in the project...we have to write what we do...work.. .. upload... cook... tell others... Of course... and after the project you can stay on the WhatsApp page, or not, it depends on the degree of involvement, we need people to add...
  
  ... talking and telling us stories is something very Mediterranean, very Spanish.... for example, we are waiting for a volunteer to describe his stay at Workaway... .... it is one of his... ...your commitments.
  
  
  We need volunteers, we are looking for people who are interested in living in an isolated town, without shops, in a mountain environment, accustomed to an independent life. We love climbing, visiting caves and more... The plan is to work 3 days a week and have 4 days for yourself (for sports activities). You have Bikes to get around the area
  
  This project has been in development for 15 years in a family that has accepted volunteers for 36 years.
  
  We have a wooden house, we want to live with people who don't smoke (if you smoke you can't come).
  
  Here everything goes slowly. To get an idea, the best thing - initially - is to contact other volunteers who live with us or who have lived. We are not interested in quick visits... Many people tell us..."I want to come for a week, 2 weeks..." That is not the real experience. It takes time to
  --------
  e don't like dogmatism and we laugh at the fashions of the moment. Our beliefs revolve around traditional, rational and environmentally friendly agriculture. We do not like to be smart, nor impose our intuitive and few ideas about agriculture on our neighbors... who have been cultivating the garden all their lives.
  
  We have animals, chickens, a garden and we are making a forest of fruit trees (we have 63 fruit trees)... In a garden forest.
  
  It is important... to read the comments of the volunteers, to talk to them... and then you will understand the project, what I am writing is my vision... but for you... reader... the best thing is to talk to the previous volunteers... of your age ...it is necessary to have a high degree of knowledge of the project, before arriving, to see if it meets your expectations, we are talking about using your time well.
  
  It is not a project for new travelers, for travelers of the here and now...this is slowly cooking. This is a project where people are at the center, it is not a throwaway project. We try to build interpersonal relationships of a certain solidity.
  
  We appreciate all of our volunteers who decide to come help us, but... this will never be a vacation home, at mom and dad's house... This is an experience for a mature, active, motivated adult... 7 per percent of the volunteers don't fit in. They find it too lonely, too Spartan, too isolated, too mountainous (all of this is true). Therefore, until you have booked a plane, train or bus ticket, your arrival will be very uncertain.
  
  ...we'll talk when you have clear ideas, if we accept you we reserve the room, and we tell others that they can't come...because you are going to come...if you don't come others have lost the opportunity...
  
  Dear volunteer, why do you plan to come to this Project? The first thing is to tell you that we appreciate you thinking about spending some time with us, but we would like to tell you something. If your idea is to work online, if you consider that you are going to spend a quiet vacation in the mountains....I think...you have not read our profile...we suggest that you read it again slowly please...everything. ..is a place for intrepid travelers..., like “The Endurance Adventure at the South Pole”..you already know...and if you're not the type to embark for the “National Geographic Society”, look for something more appropriate... here the physical intensity required of volunteers is high... we are... building a chimerical project... to welcome new adventures...
  
  As for rock climbing, we like easy sport climbing and classic climbing (Multipitch), with various lengths, we are doing long routes of more than 100 meters, others exceed 200. The objective is to enjoy… We have done many routes to walking distance... There are a whole collection of climbing routes within half an hour's drive, including the mythical Teverga. The volunteers will practice: belaying, climbing pitches, rappelling and building routes in the famous Asturian limestone. This is a place to progress in the multi-pitch climbing technique and not suffer...it is another concept...it is to enjoy...enjoy climbing. We must always check each other, that the rope is perfectly tensioned, a well-kept knot, that the insurance system is well mounted, we will use the most popular ones.... The cricket or grigri..or Revo....
  
  ASTURIAS IS THE PARADISE OF LIMESTONE.
  A very sticky type of stone, where climbing boots stick to your shoes like superman...
  
  ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET...because it's cool...when a stone falls...
  While climbing we can practice using:
  -Rock bridges
  
  (cams)... They have their tricks..
  -Insurance systems. Here we focus on something basic.
  -Meeting team (anchor)
  -Use of rope
  -Knots
  -etrier
  -Anchor
  -To lead and to follow in mutipitch
  -Bolting
  -Multipitch
  -Friends
  -Sequence of various pitch
  
  My philosophy of less is more, for me Climbing is >>>>>>>>>>>Easy Classic Climbing Without Complexes
  
  Hello...future volunteer...if you have read this entire long description and are interested.
  
  
  
  - GOOD DAY....WE ARE WAITING FOR YOUR NEWS

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  Participating in a project like this has the interest of learning, masonry work, carpentry, to repair a path to work as a team, work in an orchard ... learn another language, in a mountain environment ... full of life and of history.
  There is a lot of free time.
  In less than 100 meters you are in the woods with a mountain river.
  
  You can have the experience of living a life with "neo" rural
  If you have time and energy it is a good project ....
  
  
  The Puertos de Marabio Natural Monument is made up of sinkholes and blind valleys.
  
  It is a natural space protected by the existence of a peculiar karst complex, formed by sinkholes and blind valleys that give it great hydrogeological interest. It has three large cavities: the Sumidoiro del Fondadal, 156 meters deep, the Vistulaz Cave and the Vegalonga System, which with its 5,900 meters of development represents one of the main underground complexes in the region.
  
  In the ports we can find grasslands with deer and scrub surface, generally heaths, gorse, holly, Genista occidentalis, hawthorn and blackthorn.
  
  This Natural Monument is included in the Protected Landscape of Pico Caldoveiro.
  
  Location in the Area
  
  The Ports of Marabio are located between the councils of Yernes and Tameza, Teverga and Proaza, and are delimited to the east by the Sierra de Peña Padiella, to the west by the Sierra de la Granda, to the north by Pico Caldoveiro and to the south by the watershed of the River.

  WE SPEAK CASTELLANO SPANISH, WE HAVE NO DIFFICULTIES TO SPEAK ENGLISH AT A MEDIUM LEVEL ... WITH GRAMMATICAL ERRORS BUT GOOD COMMUNICATIVE LEVEL. THE FRENCH IS A LITTLE RUSTY, WE ARE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND PORTUGUESE AND ITALIAN The language of communication is English, I am here one weekend a week, the rest the volunteers decide the language of communication. The stay is to practice climbing, to learn to cut a tree, to make a path... to speak but in English, French, Italian or Portuguese, this is not a good destination to learn to speak Spanish

  A small comment about respect for other ways of living.
  In the town our neighbors are cattle ranchers, with their peculiar way of understanding life and the struggles to survive in the balance of the natural environment.
  The neo-rurals -e
  Among those I find myself very given to preaching that it is the right thing to do and not about how the balance between wildlife and livestock should be.
  I think we should reflect from a respectful point of view. We must not fall into cultural ethnocentrism, walking slowly and listening previously allows us to build another way of thinking but it is a process of years, the countryside is not changed with speeches from the city. I think respect and listening is a good point of view.
  
  Volunteers are expected to be autonomous, if / the project adapts you will enjoy it, if you don't adapt. Don't suffer, look for another site that suits your philosophy.
  
  We are interested in receiving people who understand what it means to live autonomously in a rural environment. Sometimes visitors expect to find the same as in a city and that is not the case. It is not necessary to have experience but to be disciplined and autonomous. There is a lot of free time. The work schedule is 24 hours a week, we usually concentrate it on three days so we have more days off ... if you want another distribution there are no problems.
  
   The cabin no. It is comfortable, HAS ALL KIND OF CLOTHES, WATER BOOTS ... but life in the countryside has some characteristics that need important energy and adaptability from visitors.
  
  This is not a good option for travelers who believe that this is a hotel ... no, here this is a house where three days a week really works and four is enjoyed .... it is your time ... for what That you decide, THIS IS AN EXCHANGE PROGRAM ... IT IS SOMETHING LIKE A WORKSHOP SCHOOL ... PEOPLE ARE THE IMPORTANT ... THE HONESTY..THE BEING ABLE TO SHARE .... the fundamental ... enjoy of what you live
