    One of the structures that on our list to renovate will be yours while staying with us.
    It’s a ruin of an old canarian pajero, a stone cabin. The roof burned and a few stones fell on a big forest fire 3 years ago, so it’s super basic.
    We cleaned it, and used recycled roof to have shade and protect from rain.
    In the pajero we provide a tent with a mattress and beddings for our helpers.
    There’s a box to store your food, a gas stove, and a surface for a tent in the pajero. meanwhile we are establishing our house, making it more welcoming and comfortable for hosting.
    We like cooking and baking tasty, healthy food. On days of working together we cook a meal for you.
    We ask for 3 times a week, between Monday to friday, 4-5 hours of help.
