Details
Description
Sierra de Gredos is magical. This mountain area consists of granite, which makes the energy and vibrations of this place quite special. The house is located at the foot of the mountain, in the middle of the forest. The area is amazing for walks and you can hike to one of the natural pools in the area. It's very quiet and peaceful and every night we enjoy sitting outside, and just soaking in the sounds of nature.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I'm Dutch and have been living in Spain for about 10 years. I've been studying neuroscience, and traditional spiritual teachings for many years. I love to share everything I have learned about yoga, energy, life, science and the universe in general.
Help
The house and the land are somewhat neglected, so it's a big project to clean the house, paint, and of course, take care of the land surrounding the house. Removing weeds, cutting branches, heavy pruning etc. You can help in anyway you like, whether cleaning, painting, or gardening.
Work will be assigned depending on priorities and if possible your preferences, but also depends on the weather of course.

Accommodation
The main house is ready to live in, although it still needs some finishing touches, you will have a room with private bathroom for yourself. We will do groceries together and take turns preparing food.
What else ...
The house is located quite remote, which is exactly why it's so special and peaceful. It does mean we are off-grid, and there is minimal cell reception. Of course, we have internet/wifi on the property via satellite. You can walk to the natural pools and do various beautiful hikes from the house. To get to town I can take you by car.
You can reach the town by bus from Madrid (Estacion del Sur). The bus between Madrid and Arenas de San Pedro goes 6-7 times each day.
