Description
¡Hola!
For this 2024 summer (June-Juli-August-September) we are looking for 2 or 3 people that would like to look after our home. Galicia is an amazing place. With its high cliffs, surf beaches, and forests, it's a place like no other.
We a building up a little farm(1,5 hec.) connected to some sustainable projects we like to test out. The farm is dedicated to the mission of creating a well-balanced eco-system and rich soils that produce nutrient-dense foods. This year we are building a new greenhouse and design the natural pond further. All learning by doing.
We have to go back to Holland for a few months this summer. You can stay on our land with a camper/tent and use the facilities, electricity, springwater and so on. In the garden we have created places where you can relax, planted fruittrees, palm trees, our chickens, cat and dog are also around. In gereral there are a lot of cool things to do in the area. Every summer there are a lot of fiestas and a big festival in Ortigueira!
Laida is our host, our neighbour and lives in the main house. She is building her own place next door. She takes care of our lovely dog Aya. Laida is Spanish and speaks fluent English, she is great to have around! She is always happy to help and/or explain things if needed. We have some flat areas for a camper. Also if you prefer to stay in a tent there is a flat area with grass around. All with a view over the little valley.
We're thrilled to be surrounded by an amazing group of like-minded souls who all live in the area. Its like a small community with a bunch of adventure seekers, nature enthusiasts. We love to come together on the beach to surf and bbq, go climbing, have a house/garden party, or just enjoy each others company by helping each other out with their projects. They will be happy to invite you guys and meet you.
So, if this sounds good and you're up for it please reach out to us or lets meet up and talk it over! 🌞🌊🏄♂️🍃

Discover the Raw Beauty of Galicia - Enjoy our beautiful place this summer!
In the breathtaking landscapes of Galicia, Spain, we've found a slice of heaven to call our own. Our hearts are filled with excitement as we embark on an incredible journey, and we'd love for you to be a part of it!
We've recently purchased a marvelous property here and are working towards creating a truly self-sustainable oasis. Living off the grid is our dream, and we could use your help to turn it into a reality.
Surrounded by nature, our garden is an enchanting canvas waiting for us to weave our magic. Our ambitious plans include creating a forest garden, building a cozy dome, and transforming an old shed into a charming outside kitchen and bar with a pizza oven. The dreams don't stop there – we're envisioning a treehouse, a serene space for sheep, a natural swimming pool, a thrilling skatepool, and so much more!
Living on top of a mountain in a tranquil area, we've found ourselves embraced by a warm and supportive community of like-minded individuals. It feels like a small, close-knit family, and you'll surely feel at home among these wonderful souls. Also our neighboors stayed with us as workawayers and felt in love with this place, so they bought the place next door ;) They will be happy to help you guys if needed.
What makes our journey truly special is the flexibility and freedom to work on projects that spark your interest and ignite your creativity. Your input and ideas will be cherished and celebrated.
So, if you're ready to discover the raw beauty of Galicia and take care of our beautiful garden, pack your bags and hop aboard! Let's create something extraordinary – a sanctuary that harmonizes with nature and nurtures our souls.
See you soon!

Flat space in the garden in front of a platform with an amazing view. You can use the whole garden and there is a possibility of storing stuff in a dry house.
What else ...
Check out the Ortigueira area on Google. Many many things to do over here! You will need a car if you want to explore a bit on your own as well, also handy if you need to do some shopping etc. (hiring over here is around 10 euro's a day). There are as well trains and busses going but not often a day!
