  Description

  We are a family made up of twins just over two years old, Sirio and Venere, Pope Ugo (Italian) and the writer, Enriqueta (Argentina), mother, artist, entrepreneur, yoga and meditation teacher, dancer.
  after having traveled a lot and having met to welcome these two little souls who chose us as their guides, we decided to leave our nomadic lives to be able to land in these beautiful valleys in the north of Navarra, in ITUREN, where the Valley lives del Mendaur, a magical town of just over 500 inhabitants, where the climate is as varied and beautiful as possible, Basque being the main language followed by Spanish, 40 minutes from the border with France and 58 km from Biarritz, and 50 minutes from the beautiful city of San Sebastian in the Basque Country.
  We arrived in Spain 6 months ago, and after seeing the first house in the first place, we fell in love and decided to buy it, it was not difficult at all, after having traveled 4 countries, 9 planes, and seen 75 houses, we realized that this was the site we were looking for, (or perhaps the site was looking for us); After three months we began to inhabit it and it is perfect to know that it has a floor to be our HOME and another floor to be our DREAM, and all together at the same time, our desire is to be able to share our gifts and put them at the service, sharing small retreats where We will enjoy the well-being of YOGA and meditation, dance therapy, ecstatic dance, cocoa ceremony, added to what my partner loves to do so much, which is to share the medicines of the sacred plants of the Amazon, plus infinite hiking and the healthy diet of the orchard, we see no reason to keep waiting to make our dream come true and live what we love so much, knowing that it is an ideal place to raise and watch these two little ones grow who never cease to be amazed at all the wonders that surround us.
  Our house and Center are already being restructured to start sharing at the perfect time, all the magic that awaits to be shared. and only 10 minutes away is the town of Santesteban that provides all the basic services and the buses that leave for Pamplona (47 km) and San Sebastian (62 km). We are neighbors to the Bertiz National Park, as well as the Leurza reservoir to enjoy beautiful landscapes and walk.

  Somos una familia compuesta por mellizos de poco mas de cuatro años, Sirio y Venere, Ugo (italiano) y quien escribe, Enriqueta (argentina), mama, artista, emprendedora, maestra de yoga y Meditacion, bailarina, terapeuta herbal y todas las facetas que viven dentro nuestro mientras les demos forma.
  luego de haber viajado mucho cada uno y de habernos encontrados para dar la bienvenida a estas dos almas que nos eligieron como sus guias, decidimos dejar nuestras vidas nomadas para poder aterrizar en estos bellísimos valles del norte de Navarra, en ITUREN, donde habita el Valle del Mendaur, pueblo magico de poco mas de 500 habitantes, donde el clima es de lo mas variado y hermoso posible, siendo el euskera el idioma principal seguido del español, a 40 minutos de la frontera con Francia y a 58 km de Biarritz, Francia y 50 minutos de la bella ciudad de San Sebastian en el pais Vasco.
  Tenemos casita propia hace casi cuatro años, la primera que vimos y supimos que era aquí, no fue nada dificil, luego de haber recorrido 5 paises, 13 aviones, y visto 75 casas, darnos cuenta que este era el sitio que estábamos buscando, (o quizas el sitio nos buscaba a nosotros); Es perfecto saber que tiene un piso para ser nuestro HOGAR y otro piso para manifestar nuestro SUEÑO, y todo junto a la vez, nuestro deseo es poder compartir nuestros dones y ponerlos al servicio, compartiendo pequeños retiros donde disfrutaremos del bienestar del YOGA y la meditacion, la danzaterapia, talleres de preparados herbales y naturales, ceremonia de cacao, masajes, sumado a lo que tanto ama hacer mi compañero que es compartir las medicinas de las plantas sagradas de la amazonia, su bella huerta con todos los vegetales y frutas posibles que siembra de forma organica con tanto amor y dedicacion que hace que comamos siempre de forma sana y consciente, mas el senderismo infinito que puede hacerse en estos valles, no vemos razones para seguir esperando a hacer nuestro sueño realidad y vivir de lo que tanto amamos, sabiendo que es un sitio ideal para criar y ver crecer a estos dos peques que no paran de asombrarse de todas las maravillas que nos rodean.
  Nuestra casa y Centro ya esta en reestructuración para empezar a compartir todas las magias que esperan ser compartidas.
  A 10 minutos esta el pueblo de Santesteban que brinda todo los servicios basicos y los buses que salen para Pamplona (47 km) y para San Sebastian (62 km). estamos vecinos al parque Nacional del Bertiz, como tambien el embalse de Leurza para disfrutar bellísimos paisajes y caminar.
  Y a 30 minutos de la playa mas cercana, en Hendaya Francia.

  We're currently expecting a third baby in the family, and the tasks we need include daily help inside and outside the home, cooking, maintaining order and hygiene within the house, helping me with organisational tasks, etc.
  
  We always have work to do in a beautiful and enormous garden, such as preparing preserves from all its fruits, marinades, tomato preserves, jams, etc.
  We organise and stack firewood, mow the lawn, and help with art and design tasks, such as mosaic painting. This is a beautiful technique that those who come to our home will be able to learn.
