This is Arbucies. Catalonia. (not that far from Barcelona). I have an opportunity for a couple or a independent person in the hut at the forest near the village. No minimum stay period required.

Dear people,
My name is Alberto, I am 44, I live a bit in the old style: close to nature, growing my own food and also peacefully. The place I live is a house in the village called Arbucies and the garden is nearby as well as the cabin in the woods where the volunteers usually stay. I offer the accommodation (off-grid) in exchange for 2 hours of help a day. That means that the volunteers would have to care about themselves: buying their own food, cooking on their own, cleaning the place, making firewood if necessary, etc ...
This is not the usual volunteering offer because I dont need urgent help, but I would like to enforce my life style here, preserving my ancestors way of living: when people used to produce their own goods and not depend on others. So the interest here is for people that are in the same way as me or want to try it. There are usually vancancies for almost everybody that applies.
If you come you could learn some gardening technics common in this region and walk around the montains and enjoy beautyful landscapes.

Estoy en Arbucies, no muy lejos de Barcelona. Ahora hay sitio en la cabaña para un grupito o pareja.

Soy un hombre de 44 años. Llevo unos diez años tratando de vivir más autosuficiente y he probado algunas alternativas. Finalmente vivo en una casa en el pueblo de Arbucias donde se está bien porque hay mucho bosque y montañas alrededor, hay río y se respira ambiente rural. Tengo un huerto y un gallinero y cultivo un poco de todo. Me gustaría tener un poco de ayuda para compartir estas labores. Si alguien quiere pasar por aqui una temporada yo le ofrezco el alojamiento. A cambio pido un poco de ayuda: dos horas diarias. Aquí puedes aprender sobre el cultivo en una zona donde aún tradicionalmente se cultivan algunas partes de la ladera de la montaña. Tambien puedes disfrutar de los paisajes naturales. Pido que las personas sean responsables y ordenadas.
Espero veros por aquí.
