  • Description

    Description

    We live on a very remote and beautiful mountain finca in the Genal valley, near Genalguacil.

    The total land is seven hectares and is made up of forest, including chestnuts, cork oaks, olives and cherries, orchards of citrus and avocados and an inner vegetable and fruit garden.

    During September and October our tasks will be in the forest, mainly working in the olive groves, beginning the harvest and storing the seasoned, pruned wood for the winter stoves.

    The land is totally off-grid. We have a solar system for electricity, hot water and compost toilets.

    I am from England, where I worked as a Steiner Kindergarten teacher and now work as a Biographical Counsellor and a therapist with children and young people. I am working towards creating a sustainable community where we can flourish.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Travellers would benefit from living in the lovely forest environment and using their skills and learning new ones.
    The Genal Valley is thought to be the seventh most bio-diverse place on the planet, so it is an exceptionally beautiful place to be.
    The village of Genalguacil is walkable, via a steep donkey track (about 30 minutes) ~ The village has a big art gallery and several bars.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    There is a good network of footpaths for exploring the valley on foot.
    There is a daily bus to and from Ronda, leaving the village at 7.30am and leaving Ronda at 4.00pm
    I would say that here would suit people who like to live a simple life, deep in nature.

    This could be possible…we have a small piece of land about 15 minutes walk from the finca, but it wouldn’t be possible to drive all the way.. the last part is steep, rough track that requires a four wheel drive.
