The Experience

We are feeling this place as a space or a platform from which to develop the workshops that we like to share in the city with other people Workshops on expression and human encounter through play and art So the day-to-day routine revolves around this, the construction and improvement of living spaces, the care of the animals and the garden. and the joint work of creation and study about the dynamics of human encounter and artistic expression

The whole experience was magical! the job was not so hard and all the time we were changing activities to not get too tired or bored 😌 it was super satisfying to watch our day-by-day progress and be a part of this beautiful the farm. the cabin is in the middle of nowhere and for this reason the area around is super peaceful and quiet (you have beautiful walk options in the mountains there) yai (the owner) is an incredible person, we had absolutely amazing conversations everyday. and the food he prepared was always delicious!! i really enjoyed my time there and again, i recommend it a lot! ❤️

It was a really great time living with Yai! The work was very rewarding and we made a lot of progress in the week that I was there. The projects vary from day to day so it stays interesting, and Yai is always consistent with providing really good food in the morning and at lunch time! The accommodation is very simple and woven into nature, with a breathtaking view of the mountains and forest all around — perfect for anyone hoping to get off the grid. I really got a good impression of Asturias from this experience, as Yai brought me around the local villages, and the nearby mountains!

I had an amazing time with Yai. The area was beautiful, conversations were interesting and food was delicious. It was a really special experience that taught me a lot! We worked on his new cabin, in the garden and with the horses. The work was interesting, relaxed and intuitive. I stayed in my van further up the mountain with amazing views every morning.

It was an unforgettable experience. The place is in the heart of nature and offers a breathtaking view of the mountains. Jamil was very kind and has a deep passion for music. The work was pretty easy and fun. I truly enjoyed our conversations, and he also cooked delicious meals. In winter, it can get quite cold, so be prepared 😅.

Part 2: He perceived it, as if we don't want to help him and adjust to his plans. We felt really uncomfortable and disrespected. None of these plans were discussed before. Moreover, he doesn't have wifi neither working bikes. The food portions kept getting smaller until he didn't provide breakfast anymore. Only after asking him, he told us to leave the next morning. Later, we received a No-show review from him. Thanks to the WPsupport team they were able to delete it and we can write a review now! We can't imagine how it would have ended if we were more dependant on him(without a car).

stop depending! think! grow! adapt! be self reliant!
this proyect its exactly about that! you could always walked to the place of the horses to feed them if you really cared, think alternatives! if you cant provide the help required we cannot provide meals and home, you only stayed one evening! and it was playfull and creative with nice people and food! no thanks for that? read the other many reviews, you will discover why i asked you to leave on second day if you look closely your attitude!
