    Description

    We are a small international group living off the land and renovating an abandoned village in the high hills of the Aragon pre-pyrenees. We prioritize using permaculture and organic techniques.

    We prefer people to stay for at least a month as there is lots to explain, but feel free to contact us anyway if you are interested in coming for a shorter period

    Our life generally follows the rhythms of the seasons. Our gardens demand attention throughout the year and Spring is mostly dedicated to planting. In summer there is general maintenance of the gardens and village, preparing and drying firewood for the coming winter and construction projects when we have the time and manpower, in late summer and autumn we harvest and conserve the produce from our gardens, brew wine and bring the last of the firewood indoors.
    Late fall through early winter we prepare our gardens for the next planting season, cut firewood for the next year and enjoy the fruits of past year´s labour


    Nuestra vida generalmente sigue los ritmos de las estaciones. Nuestros huertos demandan atención durante todo el año y la primavera se dedica mayoritariamente a la siembra. En verano hay mantenimiento general de los huertas y el pueblo, preparación y secado de leña para el invierno y proyectos de construcción cuando is da tiempo y la mano de obra, a finales de verano y otoño cosechamos y conservamos los productos de nuestros huertas, elaboramos vino y traemos lo último de la leña en el interior.
    Desde fines del otoño hasta principios del invierno, preparamos nuestros jardines para la próxima temporada de siembra, cortamos leña para el próximo año y disfrutamos los frutos del trabajo del año pasado.
