Description
We live here since 5 years now.
We are a Belgian couple and we have a campo in the beautiful village of Maro, in Andalucia. It's a lovely, quiet town with awesome wild beaches and good spirit. There we are trying to do a permaculture project combine with eco-construction project. We are growing different vegetables and we have build our wood house with second hand, "trash", given, materials. Our land is just in front of the sea, it was still a greenhouse when we arrived so we have start from nothing, just the ground! It is a very sunny place just 10 min beautiful walk from the beach, our neighborhood is so nice, there are all people respectful of the nature that are trying to run an "alternative life" :).
Thanks and comparte la buena onda!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
In our place you'll have the opportunities of living a different life, a life closer to the nature, closer to your basicals needs, closer to you :) You'll discover the Andalucian culture wich is interesting, full of colors and joy, you could even learn Spanish and English by exchanging with all the people from all over the world that are living here around. This place is a good spot to travel around Andalucia, you are just 50 min from malaga, 1hour from Granada, 2 hours from almeria etc .... expect from the tourism, living with basical comfort, in front of the sea... this is just great for thinking about you and the world we are living in :) Sound just like paradise right ?

In your time off you could just relax in the place, medidating, do yoga , open you third eyes or whatever :p You will love to swim in the cristal water of the differents beaches. You can also rent a kayak to navigate between the beaches and admire the sunset from the water. In Maro your are between the sea and the moutains, you'll find a bunch of trek in the mountains, some with access to fresh nice river forming natural pool wich is the best way to refresh you in summer time.
