Description
We are a vegan and energetic team that has been working on curing the CO footprint in many ways.
I bought this property to build an Ecologic Forestgarden where we share and put in practice our will to practice loving ways of applying permaculture and sustainability.
These year we need Garden-Housekeepers.
The house is situated in East Málaga city and only 1800 meters from the sea shore and the Peñón del Cuervo beach. With mostly easy local transportation to the city centre.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are situated in the out courts of a typical neighbourhood of Andalusian culture where restaurants and beach bars offer typical Spanish and international food and drinks.
The beautiful beach of Peñón del Cuervo in a 20 minutes walk.
Hike in the mountains can be started right from our street.
Along the coast the “Paseo Marítimo” coast walk path stretches through many beaches.
In the Villa we have respect to different ideologies and believes, our main aim is the interchange of knowledge about ecological-regenerative-sustainable way of living.
Help
We need help with the Garden and Housekeeping. Such as watering, weeding, moving soil, harvesting, controlling pests, cleaning the patio and the paths, painting or fixing some things around the house, since we travel a lot and sometimes you have to manage it alone or with other volunteers.
We are looking for volunteers of any gender and age (even children with parents) and with heartfelt interest in Permaculture, sustainability, regenerative and Off-Grid philosophies.
Preferable Vegans or vegetarians.
We appreciate if you have work in your spiritual development and emotional condition, and have a respectful and healthy approach to life but can enjoy the good tasty food or have a beer sometimes.
Preferently you are a non-smoker.
If you like non-violent communication or Sociocracy we are use to those approaches in life.
Languages spoken

Accommodation
The volunteers live in adjacent rooms, with shared kitchen and bathroom. The rooms have windows, ceiling fans, good beds and a side table and shelves for personal belongings.
The bathroom has a shower, WC and sink, with warm/cold city potable water.
The kitchen is equipped with a ceramic heard as well as microwave oven for those that prefer it. The refrigerator is small but there are possibilities to leave your food in a freezer.
The washing machine is shared with others and the clothes would hang in the patio for drying.
Since we are not always at home, we can not offer you meals, nor buy food for you to cook, but you can always take veggies from the garden or even plant your own favourites.
if you need an special day free you can always work some other and so on.
What else ...
The free time in the Villa is for enjoying and if volunteers do not want to stay in the patio or the living longe, there’s a bar-restaurant 2 blocks from us or in the El Palo (2 km) where you can find almost everything. Bars, dance schools, pharmacies, and several grocery stores, among cafés and tobacco shops. From El Candado neighbourhood ( 1,6 km walk or bike from the house) there are busses that run all day and part of the night and you can reach the cultural centre of Málaga as well as the train or buss station to travel farther out.
Málaga city has historical sites as from the Fenicians, Assyrians and Romans to the Andalucía Arabic and Mosarabe arquitectural remains. Málaga is the city with most museums in south Spain.
