    Beschreibung

    My name is Faye. and I own a small Cortijo just 15 min walk from alternative town, Orgiva. I offer a lovely situated spot of land by the Rio chico, for park-up or camping; 'built by volunteers, for volunteers'! What I mean by this is, any help that volunteers provide, is directly to help improve and maintain an area, which sole use is to provide a free, safe place for volunteers to use as a base, to explore the area.

    The land lacked care and attention for decades, and over the last years, with the help of volunteers, the terraces have been brought back to life! It's now a welcoming place for nature lovers to relax, with basic facilities, to use as a safe base explore Orgiva and the surrounding communities / areas, and learn about land rejuvenation and maintenance.

    Our main focuses are maintaining new acequia waterways (the lifesource of the land), and looking after the young trees and plants. These in turn will encourage wildlife to flourish in the area, retain water and protect the soil, and create a microclimate in preparation of hotter and dryer summers to come.

    A stay here is ideal for anyone who is independent, enjoys being amongst nature, and is interested in eco/sustainable living and permaculture. Work exchange is 1 hour per day / 7 hours per week in total. This is usually split over two days (so two 3.5 hour mornings of volunteering per week), this gives you more free time to do your own thing, explore the area or enjoy Orgiva town. I ask people come for 1 week minimum.

    I'm more than happy to give advice about the area, i.e best restaurants, hiking trails, or even where the parties at. I consider Orgiva to be a very friendly place, with a good community vibe! Depending on the season, I sometimes host BBQ's, cocktail afternoons or jam nights, in which all volunteers are welcome to join and meet with the locals.

    Please note; sometimes there are multiple people parked-up/camping on the land, who are up for hanging out together, or you may be the only person on the land. I cannot guarantee it to be either way (however I do request that people respect each others personal space if they want it). If you are looking for a guaranteed communal living experience (where everyone works and eats together every day) it may be better to consider a more traditional work exchange, consisting of 4/5hrs volunteering Monday - Friday.

    If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out!

    Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

    I have acquired a good level of knowledge over the years on reforming and maintaining land, and living sustainably. I will share that with anyone who comes to stay here, including; planting trees and plants, soil production and building natural water systems. It could be a helpful experience if you are also considering to buy a piece of land in a similar horticultural zone (9).

    The land is easily accessible, and amongst nature of the Rio Chico valley, whilst still being very close to the vibrant alternative / counter culture town of Orgiva, with its shops, restaurants, tapas bars, wellness classes etc. Its also situated in a great location to explore the rest of the Alpujaras, with great hikes, white washed villages, and cycle routes (if you can handle the hills!) and there are two yoga centres very nearby.

    I am also quite knowledgable about regulations regarding buying land, reformation of ruins, what is and isn't permitted in the area, and the processes to go through (which can be a mind field) to gain permission and reform a Cortijo, so this workaway could benefit you if you are looking to purchase land and / or reform a Cortijo in the region.

    Unterkunft

    I offer easily accessible space for motorhomes, campervans or vans to park-up or camping on land for people who have there own equipment, with use of basic facilities, in exchange for two hours contribution to the land over 5 days per week (food is not included). Each plot has its own little terrace and garden area. The land is totally fenced, and there is a compost toilette (bucket system), outdoor kitchen (with free organic olive oil from land, fridge and solar system to charge mobiles/laptops), , and cold outdoor shower, all in the same area where you can park up, and for sole use of anyone volunteering.

    I can provide accommodation (tent with camping bed and sleeping bag for 1 person). Minumum 2 weeks stay.

    There is tap water which is drinkable, and a long hose so you can refill water tanks within vehicles if needed.
    I ask that people use eco products/soap.

    Volunteers are welcome to consume nuts, fruits and anything else that is growing on the land.

    I work from my home office in the week, and myself and my partner enjoy our private time together in the evenings in my little house & terrace further up in the land, so a stay here is more suited for anyone who enjoys own space and wants to immerse themselves in nature whilst still being a short walk to town.

    4:20 friendly.
