Description
Simple, off-grid permaculture foodforest-like , vegan fruitfarm at the coast of sunny Costa Del Sol in a semi-tropical microclimate.
Outdoor shower and toilet, simple ,adventurous , wooden shared sleeping space and little house.
The location is fenced in an area with a lot spiritual and ecologically minded neighbours, very international, 20 minutes walking from the beach, 20 bike minutes from drinking water from the mountains, about 40 minutes walking to a bigger town with all amenities.
About me: worldpeace/holistic practitioner/energy healing/indigenous ,traditional womb healing and abdominal healing/ holistic womens health/music, singing, mantra`s/dancing/ (raw) vegan food/naturist/ motherhood/Creative Arts/Nature/Food forests/herbalism/sports/barefeet/meditation/allegria/conscious communication living, tantra/ecological, sustainable, towards big self-sufficiency/writing, poetry/ Stargazing.
I am a fit 48 year aged woman, three children who are 20,22,27 years and who are currently not with me in Spain.
My finca is close to a road and a little town with a bit or lightpollution, views over the barrance, and a good sense of Nature and all It`s medicine, all nights without clouds lots of stargazing possibilities, and a small social centre as my neighbours at about 55 metres where there is a weekly farmers market on friday and bweekly paella and drumming class for instance..
I plan to build another bedroom in an ecocontruction-style little build next to the main wooden home.
There is another small hut outside behind the main home that can be used as a bedroom as well. With a tent in it it is rainproof ;)
The mountains and Natural Reserve are at about 20 minutes walking from my finca.
Very hot summer months and not colder than 8 degrees in winter.
I grow avocado, banana, mango, pomegranate, kaki, white sapote, nispero, abricots mainly, and plan to build a medicinal garden (there is some thyme, sage, lavender, aloe vera... already).
No smoking what so ever..ever, no alcohol (misuse,abuse) only vegan food without any animal products.
I have a solar system for small electrics, charging phones, a two-pit gascooker, an outside fire pit, will have a little gasheater this winter as the home is still not totally windproof but would love to build a rocketstove in the future as well.
Making of biochar, Nature hikes, and i also do language exchange and salsa, bachata dancing in the big(ger) town nearby.

Accommodation
Shared mezzanine in a shared little simple off-grid house, or in a tent i have for one person outside next to the house in a natural hut.
I provide breakfast and dinner on working days.
I only have one 1000 liter watertank that is also for the garden a little, so i use water consciously.
Drinking water is not at the house, but taken in plastic bottles from the Spring, but will be filtered at home in the future and directly accessible without the use of plastic water bottles.
Life here is more comfortable than on a Rainbow Gathering or in a simple cave, but expect simplicity which in the winter means dressing warm and putting fabrics before the window holes to keep the wind from getting in, but remember and be aware....this is a little Paradise and good companion can be the best heat, warmth on colder days.
I would like to permanently co-create this place, home with two other people, so if you feel the calling for this after your Workaway visit, do let me know!
If you have a small van and would like to co-create and share my home here...let's talk!
What else ...
I like silence and peace a lot, but am also a person who loves electronic music and partying, wild dances, jamming at the fire....social life with some spunk.
Public Transport is the bus going a few times a day to the bigger town. In the bigger town there is a lot of public transport.A taxi is about 6-7 euro if you would like to take a taxi to my home from the little town. The nearest trainstation is Malaga at about 1-1,5 hours with the public bus which is only about 5-6 euro one way.
About 45 car minutes from Malaga, about 45 car minutes from Orgiva and Granada.
Internet is your own responsibility, for instance possible by buying a Digi card with mobile internet. I do use my laptop with my own mobile internet.
Sleeping space has two thinner matrasses and a double thick one with a little bump in the middle.
I have a camping air matrass and summer or winter sleeping bag for inside of the tent as well.
A little more information
Internet access
Limited internet access
We have pets
We are smokers
Can host families
Space for parking camper vans
Only small vans, because my gate is narrow. Only small families, like single parents with one child preferably.
Can possibly accept pets
Only after we both agree it is possible. The land is too small for (a lot of) dog shit. I have a cat that comes and goes and is actually from my neighbour, and i will also have a dog of my own soon.Dog owners should be aware that it is needed to take your dog on a walk sometimes and do some cleaning up after the dog....sorry!
How many Workawayers can stay?
More than two
