    Description

    Somos una comunidad alemana - Frances de 5 personas en este momento.

    La finca es grande, de casi 12 hectáreas, y tiene bosque, pastos, corrales, olivares, huerta y frutales y un parque.
    Obtenemos la electricidad de paneles solares. El agua la sacamos de nuestros pozos.

    La mayor parte de nuestras actividades consisten en trabajo en el huerto y jardines, construcción de muros secos, cuidado de los animales, así como doma de caballos.

    El pueblo más cercano queda a menos de 2 km. El embalse para nadar queda a 4,5 km.

    En verano (junio hasta principio de septiembre) trabajamos de las 7:30h a las 12:30h debido al calor.

    Te ofrecemos: La oportunidad de viajar, usar la cancha de tenis o simplemente relajarse en un gran lugar en la naturaleza. Un hermoso entorno para practicar senderismo y ciclismo. Serás alojado en una caravana amorosamente preparada, comida y bebida (excepto carne y bebidas alcohólicas).

    Se valora la experiencia con herramientas (desbrozadora y motosierra) y en la construcción de muros secos.
