    Description

    You are welcome to join us to live together in harmony, joy and peace in the lap of mother nature.

    The land is located on a cliff right on the shore of the Costa del Sol so you will enjoy magnificent views of both the sea and the hills, the sunset and the sunrise. Even though our place is easily accessible, it feels like a place far away from society. There is direct access to the beach through an adventurous descent from the cliff. There are 3 spectacular caves on the land. We have converted part of the land in a food forest. Now after having lived here one year we are ready to open the land as a U-pick, which means a place where people can come to harvest food they want to buy.

    ** In this moment lots of trees need to be trimmed and anyone with experience in that field would be a huge help **

In the weekends volunteers can prepare their own vegetarian food in the kitchen, our garden is usually abundant with tasty vegetables and fruits.
