  Description

  Welcome to Cortijo Avellano.
  We are a couple taking care of 2 ha of land, 5 cats & some chicken. We like art, music, permaculture & simple lifestyle.
  Almost 2 years ago we moved here to this magical & very quiet valley and still there is lots of work to do ... One of the building we already renovated, but the old farm house needs a new roof & some stone walls to be repaired ...
  At the moment we need help with repairing fences, making doors from wood, building stone walls, weeding & taking care of the vegetable garden.
  We are open to guests who enjoy to do some practical work on the land, who love to create beautiful corners & who are interested in creativity. We specially like to welcome musicians as in our free time we love to play in our jam session space.
  Deedee is a carpenter, artist & musician,
  Yoya has experience in permaculture gardening, loves singing circles & shamanic rituals.
  
  Welcome to send us a message if that resonates with you.
