  Description

  Hi, here we are Peque, the matriarch cat of this humble shelter with few cats more. The guy there next he was Nacho a while ago, although today she prefers you to call her Neis and usually walks around and around with the house keys and tools and talking and she splashes in the puddles and some other Sapiens´ manias and Michelle, the dog who takes care of all of us.
  
  Some years ago we started rebuilding this old warehouse and then a mill and later almost ruins and... Now we don't really know what it is, except -we try- fun. But Neis is beginning to loose the compass. We have created a lot of new fantastic spaces and dreams and we have not been able to finish most of them.
  
  The place is plenty of possibilities and we find it difficult to focus on the simple.. Well, sometimes it depends on colors in the wind.
  
  Do we maybe really need help?

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Practicing Spanish can be your main objective, although you can also try Catalan or a little Basque, there are even people here who speak Italian and Portuguese.
  
  The Camino is one hour's walk away, and by walking you will reach Santiago in some weeks. Sometimes, when I need clearing my mind, I grab my backpack and join that cosmopolitan flow of pilgrims. It is an extraordinary experience.
  
  In this land between two mountain ranges, the landscape and its people are unique. Cradle of the Spanish language and overflowing history and culture.
  
  In its season, we can look for mushrooms and always learn from traditional Spanish cuisine or practice avant-garde gastronomy. We go hand in hand with some flagship chefs. We’ll offer you the worldwide famous paella up to local traditional plates as “patatas riojanas” and dozens of typical preparations.
  
  And, of course, the wine. You will have the unique opportunity to combine gastronomy and wine in a traditional family winery, one of those that are not visited on tourist routes.
  
  In the property it will be easy for you to find something you love doing -manage a new space, paint a wooden pannel, practice Zen with a cat...- with freedom to apply your creative skills and, well, we hope to learn and share life experiences and knowledge together from each other.
  
  First of all, you will find here friendship and nature. There will be music, some art, gardening and horticulture and, slowly, we will continue the greenhouse building works and some other things. So, you will also have the opportunity to practice with a hammer or a hoe.

  The most important thing: let your wavelength vibrate with ours so that energy flows spontaneously and creativity emerges on its own. You see: very, very, very simple.
  
  In practice, besides living... what are we doing?
  
  Growing a not small vegetable garden.
  
  We want to finish building a glass and wood greenhouse
  
  There are always painting jobs to be done. Most of them are artistic and free and funny and what you decide.
  
  And, well... walks at sunset an so on.
