Description
The farm hub is located in the middle of a Mediterranean valley surrounded by hills, overlooking the Azahar golden coastline, between the ancient villages of Peniscola and Benicassim city. The project´s aims are many; from conservation and agroforestry, to promote environmental education through alternative ways of living, to work on self awareness & growth, arts - cultural workshops.
The land is 10 hectares of olive groves, pine trees, low shrubs and many other species coming into view on different terraces levels, inhabited by hares, foxes and wild boars. There are loads of spots on site where you can re-connect to nature& yourself, watch the stars glowing in the inky countryside´s long sky, encircled by the magical sparkle of a few candles, silence and meditate.

What else ...
The eco farm is a strategical point for those who want to be surrounded by nature but close to the beach. It is just 15 minutes away, driving along the motorway, from the Azahar coastline!
Castellon is the main city around, and has an airport as well: you can find several flights connections from/to Castellon de la Plana airport.
if you land in Valencia instead, it s about 1h 30 minutes to Castellon City by train.
