  Description

  The farm is located in the countryside, 1.5 km from a small train station that connects us to all the villages of the "Alto Palancia" and the city of Valencia and Castellón. The farm is certified organic and has mainly olive's trees and fruit's trees and especially cherries.
  Our work has to do with the seasons, to cut the trees, to collect the fruits, to feed the animals( we have chickens, pigs and sheeps) to cut the grass, to clean the irrigation system and a long etcetera.
  We do not have much infrastructure host but a caravan, a solar shower a dry toilet, a private kitchen.
  We propose to stay from april untill july and september and october, to avoid the heat and the cold in the caravan.
  We are speaking spanish and french.
  It's a very attractive and nice zone, with mountains, the sea and beach about 30 km.
  We have nearby a green old disused train pad, called "Ojos Negros" and a knowned place to climb called Montanejos
  
  
  La finca esta situada en pleno campo, a 1,5km de una pequeña estación de tren que nos conecta con todos los pueblos del Alto Palancia y Valencia. La finca esta certificada en ecológico y tiene principalmente olivos y frutales de todo tipo y sobre todo cerezas.
  Todos los trabajos están asociados a las estaciones, cuidar los arboles, recoger las frutas, limpiar las acequias, cuidar los animales etc.
  Proponemos estancias a voluntarios desde abril hasta julio incluido , además de septiembre y octubre porque agosto es demasiado cálido en la caravana así que el frio en noviembre diciembre.
  Hablamos castellano y yo francés y algo de ingles.
  Es una zona bonita, el "Alto Palancia" poca conocida con bastante sendas de senderismo, una bonita vía verde
  "ojos negros", podríamos prestar bicis para recogerla.
  También cerca esta Montanejos, un pueblo conocido por sus baños y sus zonas de escalada.
  Entre mar y montanas estamos !
  Entre 3 ciudades Valencia, Castellón y Teruel sabiendo que las conexiones no siempre son fáciles
