    Description

    The objectives of the project are: to know the human being that we are in its entirety. Approach the natural environment trying to maintain the principles of permaculture, integrating and contributing what we can to improve the environment. The spread of this way of life, as an alternative way to change things.
    It is an ideal place for those who want to have a good experience in contact with nature, surrounded by forest and life everywhere.
    I offer the opportunity to learn how to live "off the grid", generating our own electricity, heating, water supply, food, natural medicine, health maintenance and quality of life. In short, being as self-sufficient as possible and being able to spend more time on self-knowledge.
    Here there is 3G/4G coverage but no WiFi. The nearest town is 4 km away.



    Hace once años decidí dar un giro a mi vida e intentar vivir de forma autosuficiente en contacto con la naturaleza. Así empezó este proyecto.
    Los objetivos del proyecto son: conocer el ser humano que somos en su totalidad. Acercarnos al entorno natural intentando mantener los principios de la permacultura, integrando y aportando lo que podamos para mejorar el entorno. La difusión de esta forma de vida, como una forma alternativa para cambiar las cosas.
    Es un sitio idóneo para aquellas personas que quieran tener una buena experiencia en contacto con la naturaleza, rodeado de bosque y vida por todas partes.
    Ofrezco la oportunidad de aprender cómo vivir "desconectado", generando nuestra propia electricidad, calefacción, abastecimiento de agua, alimentos, medicina natural, mantenimiento de la salud y calidad de vida. En definitiva, siendo lo mas autosuficiente posible y poder dedicar mas tiempo al autoconocimiento.
    Aquí hay cobertura 3G/4G pero no hay WiFi. El pueblo mas cercano está a 4 km.
