Creation of an autonomous, solidarity and happy place to live in La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain

  Description

  One day, I felt an urgent need to get my hands in the soil and connect with the earth, to nourish myself and build a new life, far from the hustle and bustle of city life.
  A long and interesting way led me to La Palma, where I have been living for six years.
  I speak Spanish and am discovering La Palma society with great interest, enjoying the gentle way of life, the beauty of the landscapes, the simplicity of relationships and the island's many resources.
  
  Creative, joyful, slightly spiritual, supportive, feminist, greedy, attentive, passionate about photography, foraging, mushrooms, food and cooking, walking, reading, learning and understanding the places where I live and how the world works. Social justice is the common thread running through my life.
  
  The project is located in the south-east of the island, in Tigalate, on a 5,000 m² plot of lan which should be transformed into a nourished garden and the most independent life possible.
