Description
I am a musician with a dream of creating an eco-conscious artistical retreat/studio on this magical island. The project is in its very beginnings and i am working to make it all happen. Right now we are creating ,building and renovating some small structures that could be used as accommodations for guest and workawayers. Also we are in the midst of constructing the recording studio. We have a garden that is constantly expanding and needs constant maintaining, and we experiment with permaculture methods.
Our aim is to develop a creative space and would love for this place to benefit the entire community and to have many beautiful things be born out of it.

Accommodation
The "finca" is located in one of the best spots of rural tourism in La Palma. There are many trails and a bus stop nearby. You can even access the beach walking (40 minutes) through beautiful nature. The place is outdoors lover's paradise, is literally like camping but with a few more amenities, the yurt is 6 meters in diameter, you have an outdoor kitchen, a compost toilet, and a jungle shower. There is also a small outdoor bar, a bonfire circle and we are working on hot water and enclosed tub. The views are amazing, the night sky of La Palma is simply breathtaking and there is a centenary Dragon tree in the center of it all that will certainly take over you. The community is a mixture of local islanders and travelers from all over the world, some of them who fell in love with the place and now reside here. A very eclectic mix with even more interesting stories. Every weekend there is a farmers market in the neighbor town and the food that is produced on the island is very varied and of the best quality. You will be coming back, you won't be able to help but fall in love with this place :)
