    Description

    Hola and Welcome!

    We're a german/catalan family of four: Ela, David and our children Xavi (4) and Alma (1.5).

    We would like to invite good people to work, rest and play here. To join us in learning, growing, creation and exploration. We are looking for self motivated people who want to really connect with nature to help us on our beautiful finca, with maintaining our olive grove and other areas and lots of other interesting things! Please read on!

    It's been three years now since we discovered our new home. And it is simply beautiful. Here we found our place up the hill in the stunning Natural Park Els Ports. We are surrounded by many old olive trees, loads of wild rosemary and thyme, few figs, almonds and carobs.

    On our 2 hectares land we live completely isolated. The electricity we use comes from our solar panels and the water is exclusively rainwater. The climate is very dry and sometimes almost unbearably hot and from time to time extremely windy. BUT there's an energy up this mountain which is just magic. It is not always easy to live up here. But even with all these difficulties we love it. Like this we grow together and learn a lot about ourselves and the nature.

    Our house is small and there is no space to host people. But we have a small and basic wooden house with a bed and amazing views. Beside that we had a bell tent on our huge platform. Also with stunning views. But yes..we had it. The wind was strong and destroyed it. However, we welcome people who are fine with sleeping in our wooden house, a tent or their own caravan/camper.

    Our finca is situated 20 minutes from Tortosa (nearest city) - so you would need a car or van to get here. Once you’re here you can literally walk to a beautiful natural pool and enjoy great hikes around here. You are around 45 minutes from the beaches, which are really nice too. It’s about 1 hour from Tarragona and about 2 hours from Barcelona and Valencia.

    What is our vision here?
    Our dream is to co-create a small community of like minded people who will join us in creating things and sharing skills and abundance.

    We are looking for self motivated people with positive energy and enthusiasm who love the nature as we do. People who want to change something here on our land and create things. We love to share what we have learnt already and also keep learning from others.

    If you have any experience or skills to share - that is great. And if you're like us - a learning by doing type of human - that is great too. We love working together, helping and supporting each other.

    On our land is always something to do and we like to offer diversity of work opportunities.

    If you like, TOGETHER we could...

    > built a outdoor kitchen
    > built a barbecue area
    > built a clay pizza oven
    > make firewood
    > create inviting and shades areas
    > paint the wooden house
    > paint the terrace
    > built various wooden structures
    > fertilizing the trees
    > gardening
    > planting
    > dig a ditch because of walls which needs to be isolated
    > cook
    > sweat
    > laugh
    > chat
    > exchange knowledge
    > learn from each other
    > inspire each other

    We're not anyone's boss. We are looking for self motivated people, who are keen to add/contribute. Let’s just meet, talk and see how we can manage everything.

    What we offer:

    > A place in nature to park your camper/van/tent
    > Or maybe the wooden house
    > Satellite internet (works perfectly)
    > 2 healthy meals a day (you are also welcome to cook yourself in our kitchen)
    > WildCampSpirit up the hill with an amazing view and one of the best starry night skies to gaze at
    > Outdoor Shower and Compost Toilet

    This is not a place to get wasted or consume drugs but we are fine to cool your self bought wine or beer :)

    Do you want to retreat to the peace and beauty of the Catalan mountains here with us?
    Or do you have any questions? Just ask!

    We are very friendly :)
