Description
Hello! First, read everything we explained to make sure you have the profile we are looking for before writing to us. :)
First of all, its a project or proto-community on its first stages, dont expect luxury but a comfortable small paradise. Lot of work need to be done and we expect you to different and effort requiring tasks as gardening, building, collect stones, chopping trees, cave building, animal care, cooking, harvest veggies, create new spaces, fix fences, construct furniture, paint, cleaning and lots more.... expect to get dirty. Working hours would be 0900 to 1300 monday to friday although you will need to feed animals daily adn occasionaly water plants in the evening so as many of them are required to water in the evenings of the summer season.
We are looking for autonomous people, strictly over 25 years old, that is, able to cook, clean, work outdoors and with animals, without being told how to do everything about farm duties.... as we say if you dont know anything about countryside living, sustainable life, responsible consume of food or farm related tasks this is not your kind of place.
You will have at your disposal food to cook your meals,room in the cave house that is super cool in summer or we are also fixing caravans for the newbies, or you just can set up a tent or park your campervan ,mind that the place is very hot in summer so hours of work can be different to avoid midday sun ...Comunal kitchen and shared bathroom and many little places to lie down to read, listen to music ...
Common sense and communication are esential in our farm. We like intimacy and theres is plenty of room too for that.
No TV, daily alcohol use not allowed. You will need to be very responsible with the use of water as we live in a desert.
In terms of food we provide a reasonable plate of food in every meal but we are limited in sweets, groceries and munchies. We dont pay your munchies and your special requirements. We do vegetarians meals most of the days normally from our garden.
The views are beautiful and we have no neighbors, you can take spectacular walks into the desert or the mountains nearby as we are close to the Alpujarra , the town is 5 minutes by car or 25 minutes walking ... and the beach 30 minutes by car.
If you are interested and have questions, do not hesitate to write us and we will answer your questions!
Thank you!!!P.L.U.R.
