    Description

    The place is located in the Navarrese pre-Pyrenees, in a beautiful place surrounded by oak, boxwood and pine forest, with a lot of plant biodiversity and wild fauna. Nearby there are a variety of routes, a century-old oak tree and a large cave that can be visited. It is a town with an interesting history and political history, it was squatted in 1999 to offer resistance against the Itoiz swamp. We are a group of four young people, 3 women and one man, who live in a community, we work to generate horizontal relationships, questioning the conventional structures of relationships and patriarchy. We enjoy playing music, games, nature... always trying to create a good atmosphere, laughing and having good vibes with care and respect. The tasks we usually dedicate ourselves to are: caring for animals, preparing firewood from the forest for the winter and for cooking, bioconstruction, gardening, carpentry, crafts, environmental management, collecting plants and natural products, among others. There is running water, shower and washing machine. In winter, there is heating in the rooms and hot water. Visitors have a large common bedroom where they can have their personal and rest space. There is no coverage in the town, but about 5 minutes walk there is coverage and internet with 4G. We want that apart from giving us a hand, the people who come want to enjoy and learn together.

    By the moment, not all peope who is living here speaks english, so we prefer that the people who will be coming they speak a little bit spanish to better exchange and coexistence.

    GET CHEERED UP! WE SURE HAVE A LOT TO SHARE!

    El lugar está ubicado en el prepirineo navarro, en un paraje bonito rodeado por bosque de roble, boj y pino, con mucha biodiversidad vegetal y fauna salvaje. Cerca hay variedad de rutas, un roble centenario y una cueva grande visitable.
    Es un pueblo con una interesante historia y trayectoria política, fue okupado en 1999 para ofrecer resistencia contra el pantano de Itoiz.
    Somos un grupo de cuatro jóvenes, 3 personas que vivimos en comunidad, trabajamos en generar relaciones horizontales cuestionándonos las estructuras convencionales de las relaciones y patriarcado. Disfrutamos de tocar música, los juegos, la naturaleza… siempre intentando que haya un buen ambiente, echando risas y de buen rollo desde los cuidados y el respeto.
    Las tareas a las que nos solemos dedicar son: cuidado de animales, preparar leña del bosque para el invierno y para cocinar, bioconstrucción, huerta, carpintería, artesanía, gestión del entorno, recolección de plantas y elaborados naturales, entre otras
    Hay agua corriente, ducha y lavadora. En invierno, hay calefacción en las habitaciones y agua caliente. Las visitas tienen dormitorio común grande donde poder tener su espacio personal y de descanso. En el pueblo no hay cobertura, pero a unos 5 minutos andando hay cobertura e internet con 4G.
    Nos apetece que aparte de echarnos una mano, la gente que venga tenga ganas de disfrutar y de aprender juntas.

    Ahora mismo, no todas las personas que vivimos hablamos inglés, por lo que preferimos que la gente que venga hable un poco de español para una mejor convivencia e intercambio.

    ¡ANÍMATE! ¡SEGURO QUE TENEMOS MUCHO QUE COMPARTIR!
