Description
I am Ed and I love to share this beautiful private project with enthousiastic people. I have about 1,5 hectare of land full of all kind of fruit tree's, all to be picked for own consumption. Because it's a microclimat I can also grow some tropical fruit.
I am renovating some very old ruïnes and love to bring them alive again. I also try to live as much as we can off the grid. We got water from the spring and are starting up our solar energie system. And of course we have some biological vegetable gardens.
I live up in the mountains and you need to love the Silence of the nature.
I speak dutch, german, english, french, a bit spanish which Is love to improve with you and some of gallego (local) and portugese.
Skills are not the most important but we love to share our project with everybody with positive energy!

I love to travel myself and so I am interested in positive people from all over the place.
Help
I can use a hand in the kitchen, garden and building. You do not need special skills, but it ll be fun to find out together how to do it.
Until now I got only 4 cats but we love to get more animals soon like milkgoats and chickens.

Accommodation
I got some very beautiful camping spots (we got a tent and bedding for you or you can bring your own) you can also bring your own tiny camper (the road is small)
But under our house we finished a pretty little studio wich is also availebel for our workawayers .
Outside the studio we got a hottube wich is great on cold wintereve but also refreshing on hot sumerdays.
In our house I also got a spare bedroom for people to stay.
We like to prepair all the meals together mainly from my own garden. We also love to bake our bread ourself.
What else ...
It is a very quiet, pretty area, nice to walk arround. We have a bicycle (but the roads are steep).
By clear nights you can see a lot of stars . At 5 min walk you can dip in a remote waterfall in nature.
In history they where finding gold here, (the capital name Ourence means gold) . I have a gold pan which you can borrow from me and perhaps you can find some in one of the little waterfalls .
The wildlife is beautiful and divers. I got bees and there are loads of different butterflies and other beautiful insects.
Portugal is nearby, and mostly we visit the big market of Melgaco on friday. Arbo is the nearest
spanish town at 6km.
Rio Mino is a wild river where you can raft in summertime.
I am 100km south from Santiago de Compostella.
