Rules
CORTAL AVINYO is a perfect place to disconnect, escape the rush of the modern world and connect with nature; the song of birds, the sound of wind, the breeze, the sea or the silence.
It is important and essential to avoid noises that disrupt the harmony of the natural space, such as: speakers for music, calls, video calls, high-volume video games, and loud shouting or voice tones. ( In any corner, outside of our sight, other people may be meditating, resting, reading…)
