Hello!
We are Mauro, Patty and Giuseppe, living in a magnificent part of baja right on the sea of Cortez. our projects are an eco sustainable homestead and also a cozy hostel.
We have been here for 28 years now and our dream is to be as self sufficient as possible. We grow our own vegetables in our greenhouse, use composting toilets, keep chickens, and recycle as much water and waste as possible.
We are a small hard working, relaxed family looking for some help on our future projects.
(Please note we do have several dogs and cats, more info can be given upon request)

¿Que es esto?
Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
Bahia is an incredibly serene place, and our house is situated right on top of the hill overlooking the town and the sea or Cortez. We also offer teaching to work with natural materials, building walls made from clay, or such things as hay, glass bottles and recycling.
We have a strong Italian background and are always in the kitchen making authentic Italian meals, and we love to share our recipes!
Ayuda
The main kind of help we need is people who can work well with their hands. We create our structures from a clay and water mixture, but these skills can be taught.
Other help required:
Painting (walls, filling in cracks)
Carpentry (working with drills, screwdrivers etc)
Structure building
General maintenance. (Building, fixing, sprucing up)

Awesome experience for my first time with workaway hosts Mauro, Patty and Giuseppe back in December for a week. They are very welcoming and the food was great too. Their place overlooks Bahía de los Ángeles with amazing views. they showed me around the town and took me to some of their friend's places as well. I learnt how to build with clay,… read more

I am happy with :
- 4 dogs and 4 cats, all adorable
- great view on the bay from a very isolated place
- interesting house and quite confortable although stuffing hot in summertime (we had a bedroom, but we preferred go and sleep outside).

I feel unhappy with :
In summertime and for the 6 hottest months of the year, Mauro lives alone, so we… read more didn't find a fun family but a lonely man. Which we didn't know before we got there.
The communication was OK the first 2 days. Mauro talked a lot about himself, also said he'd take us out on his boat to see shark-whales and that he would even lend us his own car to go to the village (which is not that close). But then, he never mentioned it again. So we never went.
On the 3rd day, he told us we had to leave the following week because he (suddenly !) had a group of students coming and needed the whole place free for them.
Therefore and from then on, we needed internet to change our plans and see how and where to go next. But the wifi was very limited every day so it was complicated for us.

Most of the time, Mauro was in his own solitary preoccupations, so he usually seemed to forget we were there. The food was provided but we hardly ever shared a meal with him. Except for homemade gnocchis once (which were delicious, by the way).

Summers in Baja California are very very hot, so he agreed we could work early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Unfortunately, it rarely occurred since we hardly knew beforehand what Mauro wanted to be done for the following day.
He was getting up later than us, then he would go and feed the animals or water his plants, chores for which he didn't want any help. Then by the time we could ask what there was to do, it was already late. AND hot.

One evening, he said we could help him do some clay building. He gave tools to my boyfriend, showed him what to do, put himself at work as well and then just ignored me. When I asked, he said there were no tools for me. I felt insulted and very uncomfortable.
Another day, he never gave us instructions at all, so we wasted the whole day waiting, for nothing.
We would have liked to have at least some kind of time-schedule so that we could plan our work /free time.

But never-mind, just one week was enough and it was an experience. I will remember this place for the view, the starry nights and definitely for the dogs and cats who were so lovely and friendly.

Extraordinaire comme expérience... dans le sens étymologique.
C'est à dire en dehors de l'ordinaire.

Par où commencer?
Par notre arrivée à Bahia de Los Angeles.
En auto-stop depuis le paradero de Punta Prieta, car il n'existe aucun autre moyen d'arriver, si on n'a pas de véhicule pour faire ces 66km de route surchauffée en été.
Si vous suivez… read more

Great experience overall! It was so great to be back in Bahía and to get to have a comfortable place to stay, great people to connect with, and animals to love on! Staying and helping out Mauro with animal and plant care as well as working on improving the driveway/road up to the house with another workawayer. Lots of shoveling dirt in the heat… read more

Mauro, Patty and Giuseppe are a great and loving family! Very authentic people that love cooking and sharing good stories. We came together with other workawayers working on their sustainable home in Bahia de Los Ángeles. Stunning views straight out the window. We were able to learn about clay construction and the importance of water on a city in… read more
