    Description

    We are a Community of young people living in a town called Vea, in Soria, Spain, and our horizon is self-sufficiency. The town is in the province of Soria, in a really nice valley which is pretty isolated from any communication, with a river called Linares. To come here and visit us you have to walk 8 km by GR-86 (mountain walk), so most of the things we get from civilization are transported with our horses and donkeys.
    The way we organise is the following: Life here develops in common spaces and then each person has an individual room to rest. We make all together breakfast, lunch and dinner, also work and leisure activities. The activities and works we do during the year are varied, including gardening, masonry, brickwork, carpentry, permaculture, apiculture....and many others.
    Since we first came here a few years ago,
    We are interested in people wanting to meet new people and proyects,, who want to work and share their time and experiences with good vibes, willing to live and learn new things. Accomodation will be in camp-tents, and we offer vegetarian and non vegetarian option. The languages we speak are english and spanish. In the other hand, you have to know that we are a community, so everyone has to collaborate with daily tasks (cook, get water in the fountain...).
    At home there is a happy and healthy personal environment, if you are interested in meeting new people and feel comfortable and good, this is the right place. We are a group of people with the will and objective of creating abundant reality in all aspects (personal relationships, food, leisure, work...), hard and serious people when achieving our objectives, we love to play many games, play music with several instruments and laugh as soon as its possible.
    As last considerations, there is no mobile phone signal, so you have to walk 5 minutes through the mountain to get it. The river of the town is really nice and has plenty of place to have a fresh bath, and we don't admit company animals for several reasons (dogs, cats...)
    If you are interested contact me by email and we can talk further about everything

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    Camping tents in a fresh and really nice hazeulnut and maple forest in the middle of the mountain, with a river nearby. Fresh and nice place. The community will provide workawayers with a tent and mattress, so they dont have to carry one. The forest where workawayers will be accomodated is in the town, it has a fresh water fountain nearby, 1 minute walking.

    The people that live here buy the food and bring it to the town using horses. Each luch/dinner two persons cook for the rest of the community while others rest, play card games or do whatever they want. Workawayers do not have to bring their own food, the community provides it. Anyway, workawayers can bring food and keep it in their tents to eat more if they want to. We will provide breakfast, snack, lunch, another snack and dinner.
