  Description

  Hello!
  
  We are a group of friends passionated about art and nature, some of us recently bought some land with old buildings and we are restoring them, we have a group of friends that share routes arround the mountain with their horses and other people, sometimes they run workshops about Natural taming, also we are involved on the music scene of the are having a Jam Session every Friday in the communal center of the village, we are also starting to host art residencies for musiccians!
  
  The art residencies are in exchange of music classes and colaboration on the work of the land, we don´t pay or use money in exange, same happens with the routes, its a private group of friends that share rides and interchange knowledge!
  
  We need help with the garden, taking wood from the forest and feeding the animals sometimes :) if you know about music and arts you can also give us classes/share with us your practice!

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We can introduce people to musical composition in the studio we manage, how to grow your own food on the garden, and by training and riding horses on the farm, also we can share our knowledge of the surrounding plants and lifestyle in nature. We primarily speak Spanish and have good level of English but we want to improve and learn more!
  
  We love learning new recipes and are very open to any knowledge volunteers can share!
