  Beschreibung

  We are three friends from Valencia who some years ago acquired a land in the mountains in order to develop an agro-ecological project. During this time we have restored the ancient stone house there to make it habitable. We also created an organic garden, we started to restore the abandoned olive grove, and made the henhouse. The goal of the project is to continue improving the orchards, the house and rest of elements in order to reach agronomic viability and a permanent way of living in peace with the environment and with higher levels of selfreliance .
  
  The "finca" is in the region of the Canal Navarres (Valencia), it consists of an area of 4 hectares of organic olive groves with some carob trees, and other 2 ha of arable land in different mountain terraces.
  
  It is located 14km away from the nearest town Bolbaite and is surrounded entirely by public forest. The nearest inhabited house is about 5km, so the feeling of peace is permanent. As the place is very isolated it is highly recommended to come with your own vehicle. If you dont,you will need flexibility with arrival and leaving dates because we try to avoid using the car as much as possible.
  
  We are not permaculture experts, neither a spiritual community. However we try to follow some of its principles and also enjoy some kind of comunity life when we have several volunteers. The project is focused mainly in the practical aspects of living of the grid and about mountain agriculture.
  
  We seek also: Meeting new people and share experiences, learning together, exchange of ideas and knowledge on agroecology, agroforestry, permaculture, self-reliance, alternative energy etc. We are always open to listen new ideas and proposals. The land offers many possibilities.
  
  On the farm is living permanently one of us, which will guide the volunteers in their daily tasks and will arrange meals and solve their needs.
  
  Leisure: At leisure volunteers can relax and unwind in the house, enjoy the pool Or explore the farm and whereabouts. The place can be perfect if you like hiking.
  
  Nearby attractions: - Bolbaite River, Puddles of Quesa. - Gorgo de la Escalera in Anna- Rio Fraile -- Caves and shelters with cave paintings. You may visit those places if you come with your own car but maybe we do some visit.
  
  We speak spanish and english. We are omnivorous, but we adapt to any type of vegetarian diet

  Unterkunft

  It consists in an ancient stone house. Most of it is already finished but with few improvements remaining. We have electricity by solar panels and running water (from a small aquifer within the farm). The house has two floors, with several bedrooms on the upper floor. a bathroom, heating (wood stoves) etc. Life here is basic and not luxurius but everyday improving.
  
  By the time we access the Internet via mobile phone. Despite the isolation we enjoy 4g connection most of times at home. If your mobile connection doest work at some point we could share ours creating a hotspot.
  
  We also have irrigation pond, which in summer we use as swimming pool.
