Description
Hello, i'm Javier. I'm from Andalusia, but i found my place here, in Sierra de Gata. I love Permaculture, so my idea is to manage my farm following its principles. Project is still in the first steps. My aim is to become as self suficient as possible. I was living in diferentes places, cities and country side, and now i'm very happy to live surrounded by Nature.
