  Beschreibung

  Hi,
  
  We are a family of three (Davoud, Tatiana and baby Mey) working on converting an abandoned village located in Galicia, Spain into a space for artistic practices, creativity, and critical learning. At this stage this is a family project.
  
  Our village is our little paradise with incredible mountain views located on a ridge overlooking the Miño river in a region called Ribeira Sacra. We are surrounded by lush oak and chestnut forests ideal for trekking. Our region produces one of the best wines in Spain and we help them in this process of heroic viticulture. We consume local food and follow the principles of sustainability.
  
  We work because we love to create, grow, and share. We work because we believe that through working, thinking, creating art, and contemplating philosophically, we can make this world a better place.
  
  And we look forward to having you on board!

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  Staying with us, you will find yourself within an environment of camaraderie, sharing, exchange of skills and ideas. We come from two distinct cultures. We speak multiple languages. We have travelled the world for years. We cook various authentic cuisines.
  
  We work with many artistic media, from film and music to poetry and dance. And we build with our hands and minds in a quest to rebuild our village based on the principles of sustainability, equality, and curiosity.
  
  Furthermore, we also have a loving relationship with our community of neighbours who are hardworking farmers and viticultural workers of central Galicia. So your stay with us will be a mixture of universal and Galician experience.
