  Description

  This is a project that aims to promote and help in personal evolution through the synergy of nature, respect for animals and interpersonal relationships. It is located in the municipality of Victoria de Acentejo, north of Tenerife, on the heights of the pine forests and surrounded by vineyards and chestnut trees. It is a magical place with a height of 900 meters from the sea that allows excellent daytime views of Teide and the sea and night views of the stars and constellations. The farm has several fruit trees in full production: plum, pear, apple, kiwi, chestnut and walnut trees, but with the idea of ​​planting more variety (avocado, almond, moral, orange, lemon, medlar, fig, etc.). In the future, the idea would be to plant basic garden foods (onions, garlic, peppers, tomatoes, etc.). Although the property is isolated, excursions can be made on foot through several trails, giving the lagoons near Teide, Esperanza and the entire north of the island. There are nearby guachinches (family restaurants serving local food) and all kinds of services within a few minutes by car. In free time it is recommended to have your own vehicle, since there is no public transport nearby on foot. We want to create several spaces for the animals: goats and chickens before moving them to the farm. The project will include silent retreats, yoga and anti-stress meditation, holistic therapies and personal evolution. It aims to promote contact with nature through games and yoga aimed at children. It will have a cultural area to teach.
  
  Es un proyecto que pretende potenciar y ayudar en la evolución personal mediante la sinergia de la naturaleza, el respeto por los animales y las relaciones interpersonales.
  
  Está situada en el municipio de la Victoria de Acentejo, norte de Tenerife, en las alturas de los pinares y rodeada de viñedos y castaños. Es un lugar mágico con una altura a 900 metros del mar que permite unas excelentes vistas diurnas al Teide y al mar y nocturnas a las estrellas y constelaciones. La finca tiene varios árboles frutales en pleno rendimiento: cirueleros, perales, manzanos, kiwis, castaños y nogales pero con la idea de plantar más variedad (aguacatero, almendro, moral, naranjo, limonero, nisperero, higuera, etc.). En un futuro la idea sería plantar alimentos básicos de huerta (cebolla, ajo, pimientos, tomates, etc.).
  
  A pesar de que la propiedad está aislada, se pueden realizar excursiones a pie por varios senderos, dando a las lagunetas cerca del Teide, a la Esperanza y toda la zona norte de la isla. Hay guachinches cerca (restaurantes familiares donde se sirve comida local) y todo tipo de servicios a pocos minutos en coche. En el tiempo libre se recomienda tener vehículo propio, puesto que no hay transporte público cercano a pie.
  
  Queremos crear varios espacios para los animales: cabras y gallinas antes de trasladarlos a la finca.
  
  El proyecto englobará retiros de silencio, yoga y meditación antiestrés, terapias holísticas y de evolución personal. Pretende impulsar el contacto con la naturaleza mediante la realización de juegos y yoga orientado a niño/as. Tendrá zona cultural para impartir.
