As having the same experience as Hayden, Pablo and Manu were very kind, genuine people and wanted everyone to live in and with nature. I appreciate this, but the facilities were not accurately described in the ad. We were concerned about the hygiene standards, specifically water and bathroom facilities. The caravan was also a 15 min walk from the water and toilet through a forest. Pablo and Manu were kind, offering different sleeping arrangements and make-shifting a toilet seat. However, it didn't fix our other hygiene concerns and decided this wasn't the experience for us.

Pablo, Manu, and the other people were very kind and welcoming. Unfortunately, the experience wasn’t properly portrayed on the ad and was missing a few key details. They are building an eco village, which I have much respect for, however the facilities were rugged. We had some hygiene concerns about the water, bathroom area, and sleeping arrangement, which resulted in us requesting to leave the day we arrived. They did offer a different sleeping set up and to makeshift a toilet for us, which we were grateful for. However, we were just expecting a different experience based on the ad.

Arcadia is a magical place, but it really isn’t for everyone. If what you want is to stay connected to social networks and feel the stress of the city, then this isn’t for you. Here you truly connect with nature and the mountains. It’s a breath of fresh air. People are very kind and conscious of their contribution to nature and the inner nourishment of each person as an individual. The atmosphere can become intense at times, but communication within the community is fundamental. If you’re looking to be in nature while contributing some work, ARCADIA is for you. The Pyrenees will fascinate you. Thank you.
