Hey there, welcome to our page :)
We are Milou & Simon originally from Amsterdam, based near the coast of beautiful, green Galicia.
Simon studied Future Planet studies and loves cooking, massage and physical movement (yoga, kickboxing, building). Milou is a vocal artist and holistic voice coach. She facilitates Enchanting Voice Retreats and songwriting courses.
We have had a longtime dream of living in Northern Spain and creating a place where we can deepdive into ecology and creativity.
We have now found the place of our dreams and are starting to transform it. Plans include restoring the rustic house, building a guesthouse, yoga platform, planting a food forest, creating a space where animals can thrive, and much more.
Feel welcome in our home!
Love,

Galicia is a beautiful green region with a magnificent coastline and beautiful mountains. Our place near Ponteceso is ideally situated to explore the region. Besides the great local cuisine the Celtic roots of the people of the region are visible everywhere.
