    Description

    Hello family,

    I am opening the doors of my house to all people with the intention of sharing and creating a community or family network. People who want to enjoy the calm in the countryside and participate in the tasks of the place, make artistic creations, music, orchard, etc.

    I'm a computer scientist though but I'm not currently working and I'm focused on the farm. I am currently alone. My English is not very good, but I'm sure we understand each other :) The house is a bit small and as a room for you we only have the living room but if you prefer there is plenty of space to sleep on a mattress watching the stars or in your tent.

    It is a community project and we do not have commercial or business activity.

    Help on the farm is simple and you can always choose the one you like the most from among several tasks. 4 hours of help per day are requested (in times of less heat). I will cover food and transportation expenses when necessary.

    Maximum stay 10 days. From there we can expand.

    I hope to see you soon, hugs! :)

    What else ...

    Very close is the town of San Martin de Valdeiglesias and Pelayos de la presa. They have very nice places to visit and good people. The farm is in a valley with many routes to walk through nature ... There are buses from Madrid to San Martin, I will pick you up where it leaves you and show you the way.
