    Description

    The Finca is located in the fertile northwest of the island of La Palma, in the Garafia / Las Tricias district, at an altitude of about 470 m, with a beautiful view of the sea, in the evening the sun setting and at night the fantastic stars. The property is very quiet, has about 4000 square meters of land, a main house, which we inhabit and apart a 50 sqm guest house. Also there is a caravan, which we provide for our woofers. A bus stop is in the immediate vicinity.
    The finca is a beautiful organic garden with many vegetables and fruits in the midst of a year-abundant flowering landscape. There is a saltwater pool (currently not ready for use, help for renovation appreciated), an automatic irrigation system Local internet, satellite-tv, 4 cats and a dog.
    If we are here ourselves, we are looking for your help in the care of plants, animals and technology.
    We can also imagine the care of the entire finca, as we plan to have a bigger travel.

    Die Finca liegt im fruchtbaren Nordwesten der Insel La Palma in der Gemarkung Garafia/ /Las Tricias auf rund 470 m Höhe, mit wunderschönem Blick aufs Meer, abends auf die untergehende Sonne und nachts auf den fantastischen Sternenhimmel. Das Grundstück liegt sehr ruhig, hat ca. 4000 qm Land, ein Haupthaus, das wir selbst bewohnen und abseits ein ca. 50 qm grosses Gästehaus. Auch gibt es einen Wohnwagen, den wir für unsere Woofer zur Verfügung stellen. Eine Busthaltestelle ist in unmittelbarer Nähe.
    Die Finca ist ein wunderschöner Bio-Garten mit vielen Gemüsen und Früchten inmitten einer ganzjährig üppig blühenden Landschaft. Es gibt einen Salzwasserpool (der wird allerdings gerade renoviert, daher kann er nicht benutzt werden), eine automatische Bewässerungsanlage, ein lokales Internetnetzwerk, eine Satanlage, 4 Katzen und ein Hund.

    Wenn wir selbst hier sind, suchen wir zur Betreuung der Pflanzen, Tiere und Technik eure Hilfe.
    Wir können uns auch vorstellen, die Betreuung der gesamten Finca abzugeben, da wir vorhaben, mal eine größere Reise zu unternehmen.
