  Description

  We are a family of 5, Laura (35),Rodri (28), Milo (4), Dalia (2) and Gadea (2).
  
  We live in the countryside, in a beautiful place. We are 25’ away from the city of Talavera de la Reina, 50’ from Toledo and 1 hour from Madrid.
  
  This spring (2023) we have started to build our strawbale house. Our desire is to live in our land to take care of it, creating biodiversity and little by little to become more self-sufficent. We also want to see our kids grow in this place.
  
  We have a yourt were we lived for 2 years with our eldest, then it became a Forest school for (our) children.
  
  We are souranded by beautiful people with similar projects, who want like us, help the world to became a better place by respecting mother earth and each other.
  
  Our area is a good climbing area were you can sport climbing and bouldering.
  
  I (Laura) speak spanish, english, french and german.
  Rodri speaks spanish and english.
