  Description

  We are three, my partner, my 1-year-old son and I and we live on a 4000m2 farm with a house in the heart of the Sierra de Gredos with beautiful views of the mountains. A lot of green and a lot of tranquility. We work from home as English and Spanish teachers, I am a native and she has lived in Scotland for 10 years. We like to garden, we have chickens and many fruit trees. Since we have a baby, the tasks abroad combined with working and maternity have become more difficult to finish. We eat healthy as much as possible, my girl likes to play sports and also practices boxing and I like yoga and meditate. We have two beautiful dogs, Noa and Venus.

  What else ...

  We are located on the mountain but next to the main road that connects all the towns of La Vera (the Sierra de Gredos, exactly between Losar de la Vera and Jarandilla de la Vera. Two charming towns attached to the mountain. Losar de La Vera, 2 minutes from the house, is a small town with local shops and different from the rest because of the art of pruning bushes that they make in the shape of animals and other things, a very beautiful art to see. You can also go from the town to walk to the bridge of the Vadillo pool, famous for the water that comes down from the mountain with great force, a magical place like all of La Vera. On the other hand, Jarandilla de la Vera, a 5-minute drive away is a larger town , more touristy and with more historical / emblematic places to see. The rest of the side is beautiful to see too, each town with its own magic.
  
  Estamos ubicados en la montaña pero al lado de la carretera principal que unen todos los pueblos de la Vera (la sierra de gredos, exactamente entre Losar de la Vera y Jarandilla de la vera. Dos pueblos con mucho encanto pegados a la montaña. Losar de la Vera, a 2 minutos de casa es un pueblo pequeño con tiendas locales y diferente al resto por el arte de poda de arbustos que hacen en forma de animales y otras cosas, un arte muy bonito de ver.
  Tambien desde el pueblo se puede ir a caminar hasta el puente de la piscina vadillo, famoso por el agua que baja de la montaña con mucha fuerza, un lugar magico como toda la Vera. Por otro lado, Jarandilla de la Vera, a 5 minutos en coche es un pueblo mas grande, mas turistico y con mas lugares historicos/emblematicos que ver.
  
  Él resto de la vera es precioso de ver tambien , cada pueblo con su propia magia.
