    Description

    We just got an old Farmhouse which we will revive to a community project. On the way we are slowly turning our land into a self-sufficient homestead. We like to invite similar mindet people from around the world to join us learning how to life off-grid in a rural setting.

    This place used to be a small hamlet with centuries-old stone buildings that were left abandoned for many decades.

    Last year we began restoring the old Farmhouse as well as the rest of the huge property. Enclosed by mountains, wild forests and untamed nature, the tasks never stop. The journey to self-sufficiency is a long one, and in between, there is an endless list of exciting projects to tackle :)

    We rely heavily on ourselves to provide daily necessities therefore it is not always easy. Oftentimes we are a few hands short, so if you are ready to work hard, we are happy to accept your help.

    Ranging from daily meal cooking indoors to physically demanding labor outdoors, surely we have something for anyone as long as they're willing and ready to help.

    A stay at our place should be 1 weeks.

    However, we are also very interested in meeting and helping people who want to pursue this lifestyle themselves and would like to move and start their own place in the area. In such cases, we would be open to longer stays

    Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

    Galicia is a beautiful, green paradise that is also rich in history and culture.
    Natural beauty and attractions are plenty just about anywhere here. Whether it is trails and walks, rivers, caves, small villages or a waterfall, there's always something to see.

    Very little English is spoken in the area, so if you want to learn Spanish, this is a very good place to do so.
    In addition to that, there's many valuable things to learn from a lifestyle that's close to nature, such as where our food comes from, what it takes to obtain and procure all (or many) of the things we use on our daily lives, the hardship of work(ing the land), the fragility of the intricate supply chains we rely on, and the overall unsustainability of high density city-living through mass global trade.

    We are always open to having deep and interesting conversations on many topics...
