    Description

    Hello, we are Rafael and Esmeralda, we are Spanish (we speak English) and we recently bought a beautiful Cortijo in a beautiful natural area near La Peza(Granada). Our project consists of transforming this place into a spiritual space of connection with nature, art, music and conscious encounters. Our place is not a business site with any remunerated activity. Our project consists of a free place of spiritual recognition and encounter.

    It is a 30-minute drive from Granada city, 2 km from Diezma and 10 km from La Peza. This Cortijo is located in a magical valley with mountains where a river passes 100 meters from the house. We love nature, silence, meditation, spiritual music and animals (we have 4 lovely dogs) so this site is ideal to share with people who love the same thing.

    The farmhouse and its land need a lot of help and love because it was abandoned. The tasks consist of: cleaning, gardening, caring of the dogs, orchard, construction repairs, DIY and painting...we already constructed a special geodesic domo!

    We are waiting for you with great joy and enthusiasm.

    Last minute info!!!

    We are getting the Garden of the Soul Space ready for March 29 when we have a nice open day for our spiritual connection center in nature.

    Hola somos Rafael y Esmeralda, somos españoles (hablamos inglés) y hemos comprado hace poco un bonito Cortijo en un paraje natural precioso cerca de La Peza(Granada). Nuestro proyecto consiste en transformar este lugar en un espacio espiritual de conexión con la naturaleza, arte, música y encuentros conscientes. Nuestro lugar no se trata de un sitio de negocio con ninguna actividad remunerada. Nuestro proyecto consiste en un lugar gratuito de reconocimiento y encuentro espiritual.

    Se encuentra a 30 minutos en coche de Granada ciudad, a 2 km de Diezma y a 10 km de La Peza. Este Cortijo está situado en un valle con montañas mágico por donde pasa un río a 100 metros de la casa. Nos encanta la naturaleza, el silencio, la meditación, la música espiritual y los animales ( tenemos 4 maravillosos perros) por lo que este sitio es ideal para compartir con personas que amen lo mismo.

    El cortijo y su terreno necesitan mucha ayuda y cariño porque estaba abandonado.
    Las tareas consisten en: limpieza, jardinería, huerto, cuidado de los perros, arreglos de construcción, bricolaje y pintura...actualmente estamos construyendo dos domos geodésicos!

    Te esperamos con mucha alegría e ilusión.

    Última hora!!
