  Description

  We are a family of two girls, looking to learn to make community and to build in bio our first stable home. It is a small town, which caught us with its energy and vitality from the first moment.
  
  Hello everybody! We are rehabilitating a small house in a mountain village, in the interior of Castellón, Spain, 1 hour from the coast. It is our first home as official sedentary. Before we were living in different places and participating in experiences in ecovillages in Europe, which inspired us and helped define our project.

  Help

  Hello girls! We are rehabilitating a small house in a mountain village, in the interior of Castellón, Spain, 1 hour from the coast. It is our first home as official sedentary. Before we were living in different places and participating in experiences in ecovillages in Europe, which inspired us and helped define our project.
  It is about using as much as possible the traditional methods of construction, materials of proximity and above all to respect and embrace the energy of the environment and of the people who want to get closer to collaborate.
  Specifically, the house is made of stone and wood, with interior walls made of clay / quincha. We will need help in different things, prepare and pamper woods, repair some stone wall of the terraces of the garden, build interior mud walls, help with the garden ... all depending on the moment you come.
  
  Hola chicas! Estamos rehabilitando una casita en un pueblo de la montaña, en el interior de Castellón, España, a 1 hora de la costa. Es nuestro primer hogar como sedentarias oficiales. Antes estuvimos viviendo en diferentes sitios y participando de experiencias en ecoaldeas de Europa, que nos inspiraron y ayudaron a definir nuestro proyecto.
  Se trata de utilizar tanto como sea posible los métodos tradicionales de construcción, materiales de proximidad y sobre todo de respetar y abrazar la energia del entorno y de las personas que quieran acercarse a colaborar.
  Concretamente, la casa es de piedra y madera, con muros interiores de barro/quincha. Necesitaremos ayuda en diferentes cosas, preparar y mimar maderas, reparar algún muro de piedra de los bancales del jardín, construir los tabiques interiores de barro, ayudar con el huerto... todo dependiendo del momento en que vengas.

  What else ...

  We are open to all types of workawayers, and we do not care about sex / gender / definition / vital attitude, but a necessary requirement for us is to connect on a personal and energy level. In this sense, and being a project promoted by two girls, we are especially excited to receive empowered or in-process girls, in order to share this intense moment in which the feminine world is awakening and discovering itself.
  
  The town is called Villafranca del Cid, and it is in Castellón, one hour from the provincial capital (also called Castellón). There is one bus a day that goes to and from Castellón, and it takes two hours to make the trip. Depending on the day and the possibilities, we can pick you up in Castellón city.
  There are many beautiful hiking routes that leave directly from the town. The local gastronomy is very interesting, with artisanal and local products, such as cheeses, sausages, meat and many more.
  There is a gym with pools and jacuzzi in the village if you want to relax.
  IF you are interested in history and architecture... better ask us, there is a lot to see here :)
  
  At home we hope that you will be one of the community even if it is only for a few days. This means getting involved in basic domestic issues, such as helping with food and dishes, taking care of and keeping clean the areas we all use, your room, the bathroom...

  El pueblo se llama Villafranca del Cid, y está en Castellón, a una hora de la capital de provincia (también llamada Castellón). Hay un bus al dia que va y viene de Castellón, y tarda dos horas en hacer el trayecto. Dependiendo del día y las posibilidades, podemos recogeros en Castellón ciudad.
  Hay muchísimas rutas preciosas para hacer senderismo que salen directamente del pueblo. La gastronomía local es muy interesante, con productos hechos artesanalmente y de proximidad, como quesos, embutidos, carne y muchos más.
  Hay un gimnasio con piscinas y jacuzzi en el pueblo por si quieres relajarte.
  SI te interesa la historia y la arquitectura... mejor pregúntanos, hay muchísimo que ver por aquí :)
  
  En casa esperamos que seáis una más de la comunidad aunque sólo sea por pocos días. Esto significa implicarte en las cuestiones domésticas básicas, como ayudar con la comida y los platos, cuidar y mantener limpias las zonas que usamos todas, tu habitación, el baño...
  Estamos abiertas a todo tipo de workawayers, y nos da igual el sexo/género/definición/actitud vital, pero un requisito necesario para nosotras es conectar a nivel personal y de energia. En este sentido, y siendo un proyecto promovido por dos chicas, nos hace especial ilusión recibir chicas empoderadas o en proceso de, para poder compartir este momento tan intenso en que el mundo femenino está despertando y descubriéndose.
