Description
ING
Hi! We are Víctor and Berta, two friends sharing a house in the middle of the forest. Although we are surrounded by nature, we are still close (10–20 mins) to villages* with social hubs, shops, and services. We live alongside several animals: 12 chickens, 6 sheep, 2 dogs, and 2 cats.
We strive to be as self-sufficient as possible: we have solar panels and a turbine for electricity; a river that provides our water; a vegetable garden and a local cooperative in a nearby village for seasonal food; sheep and chickens for meat and eggs; and a forest full of firewood to keep us warm.
Víctor has a carpentry workshop right here on the farm, and Berta balances different jobs, currently working at a nearby vineyard and as a freelance videographer and photographer.
*The nearby villages are La Pobla de Segur, Gerri de la Sal, and Sort (located in Pallars Jussà and Pallars Sobirà).
DAILY LIFE AND TASKS
Our daily routine is simple. We usually work in the mornings, and in the afternoons we either relax or work on projects around the house. Right now, our ongoing projects include: building a wood-fired oven, clearing out a shed, repairing fences, working in the garden and preparing firewood.
If you decide to join us, you’ll be helping with these tasks and, of course, with the reproductive labor: keeping the house clean and organized, cooking, and looking after the animals.
For fun, we keep it simple too: we enjoy mountain sports, playing music, watching series or movies, playing board games, reading, chatting, cooking paellas with the neighbors, or just going for a walk.
OUR VALUES
It’s important for us to mention that while we live in a rural environment surrounded by nature, we don’t subscribe to a "romanticized" view of this lifestyle. Living here is beautiful, but it can also be hard work. When things are great, we enjoy them without over-idealizing it; when things get tough, we just cook something delicious after work!
It is also vital that our home remains a safe space. We do not tolerate sexist, racist, LGBTQI+phobic, or imperialist attitudes, nor any form of discrimination against diversity. We are constantly unlearning and we make mistakes too, but we truly appreciate sharing this common ground with our visitors.
Finally, as we live on a rustic farm and are committed to food sovereignty, we have a varied diet based on natural and animal products. Unfortunately, we cannot provide special processed foods for vegans or vegetarians, such as tofu or synthetic proteins. If you have very specific dietary needs, we recommend bringing your own supplements to ensure your comfort
If you think we’d get along and would like to spend some time together, we’d love to meet you! :)

Hola!
Somos Víctor y Berta, dos amigos que compartimos una casa en medio del bosque, aunque estamos cerca (10-15-20 min) de pueblos* con núcleo social, tiendas y servicios. Convivimos con algunos animales: 12 gallinas, 6 ovejas, 2 perros y 2 gatos.
Intentamos ser autosuficientes con lo máximo que podemos: tenemos placas solares y una turbina que nos dan electricidad; un río que nos da agua; un huerto y una cooperativa en un pueblo cercano que nos dan comida de proximidad; ovejas y gallinas que nos dan carne y huevos; y un bosque lleno de leña para calentarnos.
Víctor tiene un taller de carpintería en la misma finca.
Berta combina varios trabajos: en el momento trabaja en una viña cerca de casa y como vídeografa y fótografa en algunos proyectos.
*Los pueblos son La pobla de Segur, Gerri de la Sal o Sort (en el Pallars Jussà y Pallars Sobirà)
DÍA A DÍA Y TRABAJOS
Nuestro día a día es sencillo. Por las mañanas trabajamos y por las tardes hacemos algún plan, que puede ser o de ocio o de trabajo en la casa. Ahora mismo los proyectos que tenemos en marcha en la casa son: construcción de un horno de leña, vaciar un cobertizo, re-hacer vallas, huerto y hacer leña.
Si te animas a venir, vas a ayudar en eso y también obviamente en las tareas reproductivas como mantener la casa limpia y ordenada, cocinar, cuidar de los animales, etc.
Nuestro ocio es también sencillo: nos gusta hacer deportes en la montaña, tocar música, mirar alguna serie o película, jugar a juegos de mesa, leer, charlar, cocinar o hacer paellas con los vecinos, pasear…
VALORES
Se nos hace importante explicaros que vivimos en un entorno rural y en medio de la naturaleza pero no nos sentimos cómodas con la visión romantizada que se hace a veces de esto. Es muy bonito vivir aquí y cómo vivimos, y también a veces es duro. Cuando es bonito lo disfrutamos sin sacralizar nada, y cuando es duro nos cocinamos algo rico después del trabajo!
También es importante que nuestra casa sea un espacio seguro, por lo que no tienen cabida actitudes machistas, racistas, LGTBIQ+fóbicas, imperialistas ni cualquier forma de desprecio a la diversidad. Aquí estamos en revisión y también la cagamos, pero agradecemos mucho si hay un poco de este lenguaje común con nuestros visitantes.
Cómo vivimos en una finca rústica y estamos comprometidas con la soberanía alimentaria, tenemos una dieta variada basada en productos naturales y de origen animal. Lamentablemente, proveeremos alimentos procesados especiales para veganos o vegetarianos, como tofu o proteínas sintéticas. Si tienes necesidades dietéticas muy específicas, te recomendamos traer tus propios complementos para asegurar tu comodidad.
Si crees que podemos encajar y pasar unos buenos días juntos, aquí estaremos encantadas de conocerte :)
