    Description

    A few years ago we decided to leave the city behind and start a more basic, conscious and less hectic life in a natural environment. We live in a cottage 200 metres from a beautiful Atlantic Ocean beach under the light of the Trafalgar lighthouse. Our cottage is surrounded by tranquillity and nature and the hustle and bustle of the city is far away. We try to grow our own vegetables and live more and more self-sufficiently. We love what we do and enjoy sharing our knowledge and concerns with volunteers who are interested in an ecological and sustainable lifestyle. We do not offer luxuries: accommodation in a nice and comfortable caravan, water comes from the well, our electricity is mainly produced by the sun, which means that we all have to use energy consciously and thriftily. At the moment we are building a dry toilet so that the volunteer has maximum independence and privacy. On work days we offer a coffee break with a mid-morning snack and a meal at midday. At home we cook preferably vegetarian food.


    Hace unos años decidimos dejar atrás la ciudad y emprender una vida más básica y consciente y menos acelerada en un entorno natural. Vivimos en una cabaña a 200 metros de una hermosa playa del Océano Atlántico bajo la luz del faro de Trafalgar. Nuestra casita está rodeada de tranquilidad y naturaleza y el bullicio de la ciudad está muy lejos. Intentamos cultivar nuestras propias verduras y vivir cada vez más autosuficientes. Amamos lo que hacemos y disfrutamos compartiendo nuestros conocimientos e inquietudes con voluntarios que están interesados ​​en un estilo de vida ecológica y sostenible.
    No ofrecemos lujos: un alojamiento en una bonita y cómoda caravana, el agua proviene del pozo, nuestra electricidad se produce principalmente con el sol, lo que significa que todos debemos usar la energía de manera consciente y ahorrativa. De momento estamos construyendo un toilet seco para que el voluntario tenga máxima independencia y privacidad. Los días de trabajo ofrecemos un coffee break con un snack a media mañana y una comida al mediodía. En casa cocinamos preferentemente comida vegetariana.

    We want to improve our small garden to provide us with fresh produce all year round. Tasks in the garden include: weeding, watering, harvesting, mowing. Once a month, I travel to Córdoba and appreciate volunteers taking care of Uro, our dog; to go to the beach together or play in the garden. We love to cook and we place a lot of importance on meals, mostly vegetarian. We are happy to have people who cook with us and enjoy a healthy diet. Ours is a private property and we do not plan to ask for any help related to any business.

    Queremos mejorar nuestro pequeño huerto para proporcionarnos productos frescos durante todo el año. Las tareas en el jardín incluyen: desmalezar, regar, recolectar, cortar el césped.
    Una vez al mes, viajo a Córdoba y agradezco que los voluntarios se encarguen de cuidar a Uro, nuestro perro; para ir juntos a la playa o jugar en el jardín.
    Nos encanta cocinar y damos mucha importancia a las comidas, en su mayoría vegetarianas. Nos alegra tener gente que cocina con nosotros y disfrutar de una dieta saludable.
    La nuestra es una propiedad privada y no planeamos solicitar ninguna ayuda relacionada con ningún negocio.
