The Experience

Somos un proyecto autogestionado centrado en permacultura. Tenemos un gran bosque de alimentos con todo tipo de frutales. Recolectamos cerezas, aceitunas, arándanos, frambuesas... Hacemos actividades de huerta y bioconstrucción. Estamos en Barrado, en pleno Valle del Jerte, a menos de dos horas de Salamanca o Cáceres y en lugar de paso para Portugal o el sur de España.

Our experience was absolutely amazing! The work was fun and we were able to learn a lot about off grid living. Jonas and Maria were really welcoming, easy to talk to, and patient with us practicing our spanish. We could not recommend this place more if you enjoy the outdoors, sustainable living, and getting a local experience!

Ya echo de menos a Jonas, María y Ayla, que se convirtieron en mi nueva familia en España. Sin duda volveré a verlos y se lo recomiendo a todos. Estuve allí un mes, pero me habría quedado mucho más. Desde el principio fueron muy acogedores. Cuando estuve enferma, me cuidaron, me llevaron al hospital e hicieron todo por ayudarme. El trabajo fue muy bonito y gratificante, y fue un honor ayudarles a construir su nueva casa. Aprendí mucho sobre construcción y madera, y también recogimos frutos de su bosque. Estoy muy agradecida por todo. Nos reímos mucho y conectamos de verdad. ❤️❤️❤️

Jonas y Maria son unos anfitriones increíbles. Divertidos, abiertos, amigables y sobre todo, atentos. Ayudarles en su proyecto de agricultura integral ha sido una experiencia enriquecedora. Con Maria y Jonas no solo aprendes de agricultura, sino de cultura general, debates sociales entre otros. Me la he pasado genial y lo recomiendo. Sin duda te divertirás y aprenderás. Las tareas y los horarios son muy claros. Tendrás espacio para divertirte, ir a la piscina del pueblo entre otras actividades. La acomodación es muy acogedora y la comida riquísima. Muchas gracias por recibirnos!
