Description
Hi! We’re Florian, Elena. And couple of friends just joined life here recently. Our ages are between 36 and 55.
We live on a 30-hectar wonderful land 1700 meters high up on the mountains of Sierra Nevada.
We're into ecobuilding, organic gardening, holistic healing, art and soon beekeeping. And we have 5 horses enjoying their free life on the land!
We have pure mountain water, solar panels, a big pool, a waterfall, a magical silence full of birds singing, and starry skies at night.
Dogs are not allowed, in order to preserve the local rich fauna.
The use of phones is as much as possible limited to personal spaces or corners in nature when nobody is around, in order to allow a lifestyle as much as possible free from wifi radiations, and give priority to the connection to nature and to the people around us.
We like doing things together, sharing, learning from each other, as much as enjoying time on our own.
So volunteering with us is best suitable for people who are looking for a holistically healthy experience deep in nature, who don’t mind being so isolated and far from towns, who will be happy to share knowledge, activities, creativity, nice moments and life experiences with us, but who are also at ease with their own company and don’t need to be entertained all the time.

Our kitchen is vegetarian/vegan and we eat organic food, that we will share with you as well!

What else ...
The first town with shops is Órgiva, 45 minutes driving on a dirt road. Or it is possible to cross the valley on foot and reach the town of Capileira, it’s a very beautiful 1h30 walk (and 1h30 back).
This area is called Alpujarra and it is full of very interesting alternative and holistic activities, events, projects, workshops, rituals, retreats...definitely worth it to spend some time around here!!
Many different excursion possibilities in nature are also available, and Granada is 1h30 driving from our land.
