  Description

  Hello! We are Carlota and Miguel, young enthusiasts of simple living. After a few months traveling through Asia, we bought a caravan and set it up on a farm on the southern coast of Galicia, in Morade, Sabarís. We are both originally from this valley, but we spent most of the last 10 years outside of Galicia. Now, we decided to return and start a project to sow the seeds of what we have learned so far and continue growing. The farm is located near Miguel's family home, where his brother and father live with his family. We like community living, so we want to open the space to people who, on their journey through Galicia, want to come and share this beautiful land with us.

  Hola! Somos Carlota y Miguel, jovenes entusiastas del vivir simple.
  Después de unos meses viajando por Asia, compramos una caravana y la instalamos en una finca en la costa sur de Galicia, en Morade, Sabarís.
  Los 2 somos originales de este Valle, pero pasamos la mayor parte de los últimos 10 años fuera de Galicia. Ahora, decidimos regresar y comenzar un proyecto en que sembrar las semillas de lo aprendido hasta el momento y seguir creciendo.
  La finca está ubicada cerca de la casa familiar de Miguel, donde viven su hermano con su familia y su padre.
  
  Nos gusta el vivir comunitario así que queremos abrir el espacio a personas que en su travesía por Galicia quieran venir a compartir con nosotros y esta bonita tierra.
