In 2014 I took on this challenge: a plot of land near the sea with two completely abandoned houses. In it we saw the opportunity to apply knowledge, creativity, and skill, using the materials and resources available on-site with the purpose of transforming... EVERYTHING, turning the ruin into a welcoming, creative, opportunity-multiplying, and tasteful place where BE AUTHENTIC is more than a requirement—it's a purpose. That's why we invite you, so that in addition to being able to

Right now we are in the middle of renovating the second house and the garden, rainwater collection and the generation of alternative energy are pending.
All those who are willing to work with initiative and willingness to help us realize this dream are welcome.
For financial reasons and cultural differences, we do not provide meals. We consider part of this experience sharing, breaks, ingredients, tastes, guidelines, recipes. So far it has been surprising for everyone; we did it with other travelers, and this exchange has been fantastic in experiences and flavors. There is a market, bakery and fruit nearby (1 km).
Regarding the work: the most important thing for us is alignment with our purpose: solving situations through reframing of materials and resources. That requires (an indispensable condition) initiative, creativity, and synergy.
Know that not everything is work and puzzle-solving. The beach is very close, the place is wild and very quiet, the neighbors are distant, the skies here are unique and the starry nights a delight.
Thanks in advance.
Note: we really do not have a sofa for couchsurfing.
