    Description

    Welcome!!!

    We are Angel, Cristina, Kai (our three years old son) and Gael (is a baby). We are a simple family trying to have a more sustainable and conscious life. We share our home with two cats (Karuna and Cuper), 10 chickens and a colony of thousands of worms that "work" day and night in order to transform our waste into rich nutrients.

    Right now we are immersed in a project which revolves around improving the self-sufficiency of the house. We want to integrate Permaculture and regenerative agriculture both in the physical space we inhabit and in our own lives. For now we have started with water management (well, gray and black water vermicomposter...) and shortly we will start adressing the issue of solar energy.

    We have been living in this house for a short time but we are highly motivated to share this vital process with other people who have the same concerns as us and who would like to exchange languages, experiences, cooking recipes and good times with us.

    On the land (2000m2), at the moment, there are chickens, a small orchard and several carob and olive trees, but we want to plant many more fruit trees for self-consumption.

    FOCUS IN THE ABUNDANCE AND MORE ABUNDANCE WILL COME TO YOU.

    Bienvenidas!!!

    Somos Angel, Cristina, kai (nuestro hijo de tres años) y Gael que nació en 2023), una familia sencilla que intenta tener una vida más sostenible y consciente. Compartimos nuestro hogar con dos gatos (Karuna y Cuper), 10 gallinas y una colonia de miles de lombrices que "trabajan" día y noche para transformar nuestros residuos en ricos nutrientes.

    Ahora mismo estamos inmersos en el proyecto de tratar de mejorar la autosuficiencia de la casa. Queremos integrar la Permacultura y la agricultura regenerativa tanto en el espacio físico que habitamos como en nuestras propias vidas. Por ahora hemos empezado por la gestión de las aguas (Pozo, vermicompostador aguas grises y negras...) y en breve empezaremos con el tema de la energía solar.

    Llevamos poco tiempo viviendo en esta casa pero tenemos una gran motivación para poder compartir este proceso vital con otras personas que tengan las mismas inquietudes que nosotros y que quieran intercambiar idiomas, experiencias, recetas y buenos momentos.

    En el terreno de la casa (2000m2), ahora mismo hay gallinas, un huerto pequeño y varios algarrobos y olivos, pero queremos plantar muchos más árboles frutales para el autoconsumo.
