  Description

  Hello
  We are writing to you from the Alpujarras of Granada. We live in a farmhouse of almost one hectare, one and a half kilometres from Órgiva. We are restoring a century-old olive grove and many other trees, orange trees, avocado trees, plum trees, etc. We have vegetable gardens for our own consumption and a garden of medicinal plants, all grown organically. Sustainable buildings integrated into nature. In the farmhouse there is a large house that we are restoring as a cultural, musical and artistic centre, a space for coexistence where we can meet and share.
  We are currently 5 people living there, three adults and two girls, aged 9 and 13. We have a space for you. If you think you can help us, please contact us.
