Program Details

We are self-sustaining permaculture community and movement located on a 150,000 m² plot of rugged, mountainous land in southern Spain.

The project was initiated by twin brothers Alessandro and Giacomo, who left their city lives to transform this degraded, rocky land with poor soil and scarce water into a thriving, off-grid ecosystem.

Our aim is to restore the land using permaculture principles, conserve water in a semi-desertic climate, and build a community that lives in ecological harmony.
We share our journey openly on YouTube to inspire others interested in sustainability, off-grid living, and permaculture. The project emphasizes creating a home where freedom, creativity, and ecological balance flourish, while also developing homesteading, wellness, and agritourism opportunities.
