ABOUT US
We are Wolfgang and Esther, a creative, retired couple from Germany living on a finca in the beautiful valley of MogĂĄn in the south of Gran Canaria.
Our finca is about 10 km from the sea. Wolfgang has lived on the island since 2005 and acquired the finca in 2020. We got married in 2021 and love this peaceful place close to nature.
OUR PLACE & LIFESTYLE
The finca is about 3400 m² and has some charming old buildings and stone walls that we're gradually restoring with love and care. On our finca we have diferent tropical fruit trees like avocado, mango, and banana, and we try to start have a small vegetable garden. We live close to the small village. There is gooing a bus to Puerto de Mogan every hour.
CULTURAL EXCHANGE & LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES
Here are mostly people from diferent nations. So you can improve languages and make together trips and excursions on the island.We live in a small Canarian village where people are warm and welcoming. Spanish is the main language spoken, so youâll have the chance to improve your skills and immerse yourself in the laid-back local lifestyle. Life here moves at a slower pace â something that many visitors grow to love.
ACCOMMODATION & FOOD
We offer shared accommodation in a four-bed room for men with two bunk beds. Or for wimen a two-bed room. Thereâs a shared bathroom with a shower and washing machine, a kitchen, a cozy living area, and a terrace. Everything is functional and comfortable.
We provide food every day of the week - also on the weekends.
FREE TIME & SURROUNDINGS
Thereâs lots to discover around here â from scenic hikes and nature spots to the beaches and attractions of the tourist centers, which are easy to reach by bus (running every hour). Whether youâre into nature, culture, or both, thereâs plenty to enjoy.
DAILY LIFE ON THE FINCA
You'll be able to take part in a variety of hands-on activities like:
- Weeding herbs and caring in the garden
- Helping with the chickens
- Supporting diy projects (if you enjoy manual tasks)
- Helping around the house: cooking, cleaning, organizing
- We usually start the day around 8.30 a.m. and finish around 1 p.m., Monday to Friday â afterwards there's plenty of time to relax, explore, or practice your Spanish.
- We're full of ideas for the future: expanding our solar system, improving water use from our own well, working on greywater recycling, drying and preserving fruits, vegetables, and medicinal herbs...., but step by step.
YOUR EXPERIENCE HERE
We invite open-minded, responsible single travelers (sorry, no couples or pets) to join us for a cultural and practical exchange.
This is a drug-free space and we ask that you respect this during your stay. Having a drink in the village is fine, but we ask for a sober, peaceful environment on the finca.
We also appreciate respectful attire â think casual but appropriate: shorts and a T-shirt at minimum.
