    Description

    Welcome to Can Ananda, our permaculture project near Barcelona. We are Adriana 43 (Venezuela), Ruslan 50 (Cuba) and Ananda 8 (Brazil). We started a permaculture project 2 years ago (from scratch) near Hostalric, a medieval town between Girona and Barcelona, Selva District.

    The project is already quite advanced, with installed water system (artificial pond and grey water tanks), vegetable garden and chicken coop.

    We need hands to help us with the garden, planting and harvesting, chicken coop maintenance, fences, repairing, etc. So we need a handy person 😊We also want our daughter to have someone to speak in English, so that would be a plus!

    We can offer a fully equipped autocaravan with, double bed, dining area, fridge and electricity. There is a dry toilet and shower.

    We have 2 lovely, kind and big dogs and a bunch of chickens.

    We live very close to Hostalric, a beautiful medieval town in the Province of Girona. We can pick you up from the train/bus station there. It is also located 45 min from Barcelona, 40 min from Girona and 25 min from Blanes in the beautiful Costa Brava.

    Bienvenidos a Can Ananda, nuestro proyecto de permacultura cerca de Barcelona. Somos Adriana 43 (Venezuela), Ruslan 50 (Cuba) y Ananda 8 (Brasil). Empezamos un proyecto de permacultura hace 2 años (desde cero) cerca de Hostalric, un pueblo medieval entre Girona y Barcelona, ​​Distrito de La Selva.

    El proyecto ya está bastante avanzado, con sistema de agua instalado (estanque artificial y tanques de aguas grises), huerto y gallinero.

    Necesitamos manos que nos ayuden con el huerto, plantar y cosechar, mantener el gallinero, cercar, reparar, etc. Entonces necesitamos una persona manitas 😊 También queremos que nuestra hija practique inglés, así que sería un plus!

    Podemos ofrecer una autocaravana totalmente equipada con cama doble, comedor, nevera y electricidad. Hay un baño seco y una ducha.

    Tenemos 2 perros encantadores, amables y grandes y un montón de gallinas.

    Vivimos muy cerca de Hostalric, un precioso pueblo medieval de la Provincia de Girona. Podemos recogerle en la estación de tren/autobús de allí. También se encuentra a 45 min de Barcelona, ​​40 min de Girona.
