    Description

    We are a couple of dreamers who arrived in this area 25 years ago full of enthusiasm, where we rebuilt a century-old farmhouse wanting to share it with other people who enjoy nature and community life. We organise events and courses in our spaces with the help of friends and teachers from different disciplines. We have a vegetable garden that we want to improve and optimise on challenging terrain. We enjoy music and dancing, we play the diatonic accordion and percussion.

    We see it as our vocation to bring people together, accompany and assist seekers on their journey.
    The farmhouse is located 7 km from a small Basque-Navarrese village surrounded by nature and native forest.
    Within the region, you can learn about the peculiarities of the Basque Country with its ancestral traditions that are still alive today, music, songs... as well as Euskera, the oldest language in Europe.

    Somos una pareja de soñadores que hace 25 años llegamos con mucha ilusión a estas tierras, en donde reconstruimos un centenario caserío con ganas de compartirlo con otras personas que disfruten de la naturaleza y de la convivencia. Organizamos eventos y cursos en nuestros espacios con la ayuda de amig@s y profesores de distintas disciplinas. Tenemos una huerta que queremos mejorar y optimizar en un terreno exigente. Nos gusta la música y el baile, tocamos accordeon diatonico y percussión.

    Unir personas, acompañar y atender a buscadoras/es en su camino vemos como nuestra vocación.
    El caserio esta ubicado a 7km de una pequeña aldea vasco-navarra en plena naturaleza entre bosque autóctono.
    Dentro de la región se puede aprender sobre las peculiaridades del País Vasco con sus tradiciones ancestrales que siguen vivas hoy en día, música, cantos..así como el euskera, el idioma más antiguo de Europa.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    The house is located in the Señorío de Bertiz Natural Park, 7km from the beautiful village of Etxalar.

    You can spend your free time walking in the forest, hiking, having a bath in the pool or the rivers, visiting the village. Within the valleys, there are megalithic monuments that can be explored and visited.

    The cities of Pamplona and San Sebastián are just an hour away by public transport, with their beautiful beaches, a great comunity of surfers and lots of gastronomy. Both cities are of great cultural, social and artistic interest. On the other hand, at one hour you will find the French-Basque coast with its wonderful beaches, also with the possibility of surfing.

    The public transport connections are somewhat complex but we will try to facilitate the departures within our possibilities.

    In spring/summer/autumn, festivals are celebrated in villages with a long tradition of music, dance and rural sport.

    In an environment like this you can fully enjoy life in nature.


    La casa se encuentra en el parque Natural Señorío de Bertiz, a 7km del precioso pueblo de Etxalar.

    El tiempo libre lo puedes dedicar a pasear por el bosque, practicar senderismo, bañarte en los ríos, visitar el pueblo. Dentro de los valles, se encuentran monumentos megalíticos que se pueden explorar y visitar.

    A una hora de transporte público contamos con las ciudades de Pamplona y San Sebastián con sus hermosas playas y gran aficción al surf y a la gastronomía. Ambas ciudades son de gran interés cultural, social y artístico. Por otro lado, a una hora se encuentra la costa vasco-francesa con sus maravillosas playas, también con posibilidad de practicar surf.

    Las conexiones de transporte público son algo complejas pero intentaremos facilitar las salidas dentro de nuestras posibilidades.

    En tiempo de primavera/verano/otoño se celebran las fiestas en los pueblos con mucha tradición de música, danza y deporte rural.

    En un entorno como esto se puede disfrutar plenamente de la vida en la naturaleza.
