    Description

    We are a group of 5 friends (Martin, Nacho, Jose, Sahia and me also called Nacho) who have the chance of protecting nature in a little piece of Land! And we need your help! A family friend of 1 of us, gave us this beautifully place to take care of it, and we are starting to take tourist over there.
    We are working in restructure an old building, planting, building a green house, fencing to keep parts isolated. We are also thinking about (and working on) becoming independent on all sorts of energy.
    During our free time we enjoy this beautiful place, helping each other, enjoying and respecting nature, playing football, fishing, singing and playing instruments, talking with the foxes, picking up mushrooms, birdwatching, cooking....if you think you can help us, you have a proactive attitude and you love nature and you want to learn of teach something come to work with us
