    Description

    I have a plot of land near Sitges, Barcelona. I work on my garden using permaculture, wu wei taoíst agriculture. I do several green building projects. A km 0 log porch, a dry toilet, wood with glass recicles shower,stairs made of logs and stones, recycled tyre pots for medicinal plants, etc. I understand medicinal plants and gardening in general. I also do improvement work on my land to make it more comfortable. The water comes from a well and I have solar panels installed. Everything is ecological and self-sufficient. I can offer food and accommodation. I am good at cooking with a vegetarian diet. If you have a tent and sleeping bag, or a camper van, I can leave it on my land. I am 5 km from the beach in Sitges and I live in the Garraf natural park, 3 km from the town. Good location, sea and mountains.

    Tengo un terreno cerca de Sitges, Barcelona. Trabajo el huerto mediante permacultura y hago varios proyectos de bioconstrucción; porche de troncos km 0, baño seco, escaleras de troncos y piedras, macetas recicladas de neumáticos para plantas medicinales, también me gustaría empezar una biopiscina natural con plantas acuaticas, etc. Entiendo de plantas medicinales y jardinería en general. También realizo trabajos de mejora en mi terreno para disponer de más comodidad. El agua es de pozo y tengo instalación de placas solares. Todo ecológico y autosuficiente. Puedo ofrecer comida y alojamiento (tengo algunas tiendas para acampar en el terreno o puedes traer las tuya). Si tienes tienda de camping y saco, o furgoneta camperizada sería ideal. Se me da bien cocinar con dieta vegetariana. El terreno está siutado a 5 km de la playa de Sitges y vivo en el parque natural del Garraf a 3km del pueblo. Buena ubicación mar y montaña.
