Description
I am part of local family related to the work of the land for selfsufficiency and the raising of animals. My nephew, Luis and I are trying to recover the annual sowing and harvesting cycle used by our ancestors.
We grow pesticide-free products to use for daily homemade cooking, We enjoy experimenting with recipies and cakes. We like making doughs for bread, pizzas and desserts. We can enjoy having a drink at the end of the day, but, we are not kin on drinking while we are working.
We consider ourselves easy going and open minded to new cultures and different lifestyle. We enjoy sharing experiences and skills and love learning from others. We have a predisposition towards helping and caring for people and animals. At the moment hens and cats are part of the family.
We are nature lovers and are very much concerned about its care and preservation. We love outdor sports practise as: trekking, swimning, cycling among others.
The project´s idea is the creation of spaces around the house and garden to implement different artistic and social activities. Our project is in the process of creation, then we are widely open to new ideas.
Along with it, Luis is into bioconstruction (Kerterre technique) and organic viticulture which knowledge he would be delighted to share.
We are situated in a very tourist place, with a large influx of people during the Summer, looking for the beauty of the beaches and the natural environment.
If you like our profile come to visit us. We will be happy to welcome you.
Estamos ubicados en el Noroeste de España. Es un lugar turístico, con mucha afluencia de personas en tiempo estival, buscando la belleza de las playas y del entorno natural. Somos una familia relacionada con la creación de huertos para la manutención anual de productos libres de pesticicas y la construcción ecológica.
La producción de la huerta es para autoconsumo, no con fines de venta al público.
Somos amantes de la naturaleza y estamos interesados en su cuidado y preservación.
Preparamos comida casera a diario y nos gusta experimentar con nuevas recetas, sobre todo vegetarianas y pasteles.
A veces nos gusta disfrutar de tomar algo al final del día, pero no durante el trabajo.
