    (EN) hello!
    If Asturias is on your way, come and visit us, and if you would like to stay, and we feel a social affinity, and you find here some things that you would love to do to have a good time, perfect!

    We can do some timeshare but we also love our personal time, so it's good if you come with your toys or your imagination ;)

    We have very basic accommodation in a caravan or tents :) Summer is nice :) Winter too but less comfortable for sure.

    Do you love DIY and working in nature? Come! We live in creative diy style

    We love rural traditions, but we also work with technology and other tools in the social field.

    I am Sergio, I am 43 years old and since 1998 I have been dedicated to promoting social innovation projects through community participation processes. I studied psychology and love doing lots of different things related to art, community, building, designing, graphic and web design and video production, open governance... i´m very creative and "smile resilient"

    Since 2019 I am gradually making a dream come true: building an ecosystem of tradition and social innovation, located in Limanes, 10 minutes from Oviedo, but in the middle of nature. We already had one place like this in the City from 2008-2020 and since August 2019 we started to do it here :)

    We have a beautiful space of 8000 m2 (mountain with stream) that has our heads full of viable unpublished (dreams) related to how to facilitate well-being, health and sustainability in traditional and innovative ways. It is a space to launch initiatives that facilitate living as we want to live (simply). At the moment our camp has 2 caravans, a camping kitchen and a greenhouse and little by little, perhaps with your help, we want to create new spaces and equip them with what is necessary.

    Our space wants to be a participatory space that connects the needs and resources of the area in creative ways. If you come and we come up with an idea, it will be a good sign :)

    The family, here family of families, forms our network of networks and the wonderful neighborhood that surrounds us. In addition to Sergio, the most stable family is made up of a family of cats (Ruiditos, Surprise, Caradura and 3 babies, still no names) and Chuchi, a very nice dwarf goat. :p

    Kids are always around...because you know what happens if you open up a space and fill it with creative tools? The kids will come :)

    (ES) ¡hola!
    Si Asturias está en tu camino, ven y visítala, y si te gustaría quedarte, y sentimos afinidad social, y encuentras aquí algunas cosas que te encantaría hacer para pasar un rato agradable, ¡perfecto!

    Podemos hacer algo de tiempo compartido pero también amamos nuestro tiempo personal, así que bueno si vienes con tus juguetes o tu imaginación ;)

    Tenemos alojamiento muy básico en una caravana o tiendas de campaña :) El verano es agradable :) El invierno también pero menos cómodo, seguro.

    ¿Te encanta el bricolaje y trabajar en la naturaleza? ¡Venir! Vivimos en un estilo creativo diy

    Nos encantan las tradiciones rurales, pero también trabajamos con tecnología y otras herramientas en el ámbito social.

    Soy Sergio, tengo 43 años y desde 1998 me dedico a promover proyectos de innovación social a través de procesos de participación comunitaria. I studied psychology and love doing lots of different things related to art, community, building, designing, graphic and web design and video production, open governance... i´m very creative and "smile resilient"

    Desde 2019 estoy haciendo realidad poco a poco un sueño: construir un ecosistema de tradición e innovación social, situado en Limanes a 10 minutos de Oviedo pero en plena naturaleza. We already had one place like this in the City from 2008-2020 and since August 2019 we started to do it here :)

    Contamos con un hermoso espacio de 8000 m2 (monte con riachuelín) que nos tiene la cabeza llena de inéditos viables (sueños) relacionados con cómo facilitar el bienestar, la salud y la sostenibilidad de maneras tradicionales e innovadoras. Es un espacio para poner en marcha iniciativas que faciliten vivir como queremos vivir (sencillamente). De momento nuestro campamento cuenta con 2 caravanas, una cocina camping y un invernadero y poco a poco, quizá con tu ayuda, queremos ir generando nuevos espacios y equiparlos con lo necesario.

    Nuestro espacio quiere ser un espacio de participación que conecte las necesidades y los recursos de la zona de maneras creativas. Si vienes y se nos ocurre alguna idea, será buena señal :)

    La familia, aquí familia de familias, la forma nuestra red de redes y el maravilloso vecindario que nos rodea. Además de Sergio, la familia más estable la forman una familia de gatos (Ruiditos, Surprise, Caradura and 3 babies, still no names) y Chuchi una cabra enana muy simpática. :p

    Los niños siempre están cerca... porque, ¿sabes lo que pasa si abres un espacio y lo llenas de herramientas creativas? Los niños vendrán :)
