What's this?
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Visitors will be enjoying rural life in one of the most appealing rural areas of Spain, the Àger valley, which is a hotspot for rock climbing, paragliding and the observation of the universe as there are two observatories nearby. Besides that, the tiny village of Àger, which is located 45 minutes by foot from our site is open to foreign visitors and offers several cultural amenities throughout the year. On the other side, the host of our project is an architect, permacultor and visual artist, with years of experience in biobuilding, working in rural communities developing regenerative agriculture and also taking part in art exhibitions in galleries all over the world showcasing his well known digital works. All this knowledge will be shared to our visitors who will enjoy a wide approach to culture.
Help
Our NGO is building now a wooden pavilion that will be used as rural academy in the future. We have hired some construction workers as well as highly skilled professionals to cover for the most complex tasks related to biobuilding. You can help the pro-team with lower impact tasks while you learn how a building of this kind is raised. Also, there are many other low impact tasks that can be done, related to the permaculture project itself.
(piping connections, tree plantingveggie gardening, solar panels set up etc). The NGO is fully insured.

Accommodation
For now, we can offer accomodation in individual tents at the place or in a huge shared tent (12 pax) placed at the camping ground near the village that has all the main services included (showers, laundry etc). Included with the tent are mattresses and spare sheets. If you like being in the wild, you can stay in-place in another camping tent but with less comfort than in the camping site.
We take care of the food for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
What else ...
Come if you like being in the wild and witnessing how a Permaculture project makes its first steps.
A little more information
- Internet access
- Limited internet access
- We have pets
- We are smokers
- Can host families
Can host digital nomads
For now there is no roofing structures, so any computer job must be done outside. If you bring your own solar chargers better. Otherwise we expect to progressively increase our electric solar wattage over this 2024 season.
Space for parking camper vans
The place is wild, so there is no infrastructure for your garbage and your waste. We will encourage to use our dry toilet and throw your garbage in the village.
Can possibly accept pets
Yes. For now, there are two cats and a puppy. There are wild animals such as wild boars that are more active essentially at night.
How many Workawayers can stay?
More than two

Unfortunately we were expecting her and her partner for a specific date as agreed few days in advance. Since we didn't hear from her in the days prior to our meeting we decided to send her a reminder on the same day as her arrival to which they answered telling that they had stopped somewhere else and were not able to come. We have decided to make… read more

If there is somewhere a perfect volunteer, that would be Timo. He is a young man, smart, organised, autonomous and eager to learn new things. He hardly looses patience and he's always open to work any time in the day if there's an urgent need. He's also clean and knows how to cook his own food, so you won't have to worry at all when he will be at… read more

I stayed with Víctor for four weeks during the months of August and September 2024. It was a unique experience to be almost totally isolated in the wild although the tiny village of Àger is quite close to reach by car (around 10 min). The project is mainly elaborated by your host Víctor who is very commited and passionated in the land he owns to… read more become a functioning and livable place. So far, as described, there is no place with roof for you to sleep (except camping tent), so you should be aware of any weather change that might happen during your period of stay. I would recommend to come by car though, since you will be more independent in reaching and getting back to the place - the little train station of Àger is few kilometres far away, in any case Víctor will be so kind to pick and leave you there (besides of taking you to a lot of other beautiful sights in the whole province as a merit for your work!!)

Víctor speaks fluently the languages indicated, we used to communicate entirely in Castilian which was great for my language practice. You will learn a lot of handcraft vocabulary! ;)) If you are interested in learning a bit of Catalan, it is the right place for you, too. The village citizens will be very happy to talk to you.

Working times usually are from 8 am to 1 or 2 pm, depending on the heat. We used to work almost every day. In case you are not fine with that, you need to arrange it with Víctor which will be no problem. He easily adapts to the the volunteers' personal motivation regarding your stay. In any case he will be very happy to have more hands to implement the variety of ideas and plans he has in his mind. You will be assisting him in thinking and realizing the evolution of the project, always double checking every step on the way to that point.

It is very fascinating to see how much you can build and develop in a very short time and recognize also your own advance in using tools and getting along with the still provisional living conditions. Víctor's place is perfect to calm down, enjoy the nature, walks, car rides, swiming in the lakes, rest from the cities and crowds and and and... accompanied by focused work and the the plenty of knowledge you can benefit from him.

I am very grateful for this experience and wish Víctor all the best! I hope I was able to give a good hand (getting better with the time...;))
If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact me (in English, German, Spanish).

From Germany, Timo
