  Accommodation

  At the moment, we can offer two options: a very large tent with two spaces (one for sleeping and one for cooking), a dry bathroom and a shower. The other option is a wooden cabin with a bathroom and outdoor kitchen. The idea is that, soon, we can enable and offer a better equipped community kitchen.

  De momento, podemos ofrecer dos opciones: una caseta de campaña muy grande con dos espacios (uno para dormir y otra para cocinar), un baño seco y una ducha. La otra opción es una cabaña de madera con baño incluído y cocina exterior. La idea es que, pronto, podamos habilitar y ofrecer una cocina comunitaria mejor acondicionada.
  
  Ofrecemos productos de nuestra huerta y de los árboles frutales de alrededor. Huevos de nuestras gallinas. Mensualmente, ofrecemos un almuerzo comunitario de los animales de granja que cuidamos.

  What else ...

  This is a wonderful place, located in the heart of the island where hundreds of trails lead to nature. It is surrounded by badlands and pine forests, with very few neighbors, 20 minutes from the coast and 5 minutes by bus from the urban center of El Paso. The bus stop is a 10-minute walk. We have a pond where we cool off in summer.
  
  Eso es un lugar maravilloso, ubicado en el corazón de la isla de donde parten cientos de senderos hacia la naturaleza. Está rodeado de malpaís y bosque de pinos, con muy pocos vecinos, a 20 minutos de la costa y a 5 minutos en bus del centro urbano de El Paso. La parada de bus está a 10 minutos caminando. Tenemos un estanque donde nos refrescamos en verano.
