About the Communities

What we do

We are a young family with two little children who want to start a new, more social and sustainable way of living. We would like to buy land for housing, rural tourism and farming and are looking for partners. We want to grow our own fruits and vegetables, to keep a few farming animals and to produce our own solar energy. We want to do this because we think that we will benefit from this in the long run while at the same time contribute something to save our planet. However, this should be achieved, in the most practical way necessary as we do not follow any political or dogmatic ideals nor any perception of a parallel society!
So we are looking for like-minded people; neither age nor background is of any importance. You should be able to think on your feet, be creative and flexible and, obviously, be social, open-minded and ecologically aware.
It would be fantastic, if we could raise our and maybe your children within a group of people who support each other and who want to create a fair and green-minded living environment.
Ideally this ground should be situated somewhere is Spain, Portugal or the Canary Islands with sufficient space for living, renting out and farming.
If you want to get to know us better, participate or even can offer such a place we are very much looking forward to be hearing from you!
Anna & Sebastian

BioconstrucciĂłn de TALLER con carpinterĂ­a de armar

La Escuela de BioconstrucciĂłn Los Guindales propone un aprendizaje practico de bioconstrucciĂłn durante todo el año, en la finca de la ecoaldea Los Guindales (AlgatocĂ­n – Málaga). Para mejorar las instalaciones del proyecto, vamos a construir un taller de carpinterĂ­a. Durante el mes de agosto, lanzamos un llamamiento excepcional para poder avanzar la armadura con madera redonda. Se van a cuadrar troncos, a trazar en el suelo las varias piezas para luego trazar en las piezas mismas las cotas importantes, a cortar las piezas haciĂ©ndoles encajes tradicionales, a montar y a levantar los cinco pĂłrticos previstos. Vamos a seguir la misma organizaciĂłn grupal que solemos tener ; hacemos turnos diarios de cocina, trabajamos de las 8h a las 10h, desayunamos hasta las 11h, y seguimos luego hasta el almuerzo a las 14h. Por la tarde seguiremos trabajando unas dos horas. Paralelamente, estamos cuidando una huerta y tres cabras. Para mas info sobre nuestra rutina y condiciones os dejo el enlace a seguir. https://escueladebioconstruccionlosguindales.wordpress.com/formacion/ AquĂ­ somos un equipo fijo de cuatro personas llevando la escuela. Siembre habrán un mĂ­nimo de dos personas con experiencia para llevar el taller del mes de agosto. TenĂ©is a disposiciĂłn un terreno grande para poner tiendas de campana, tambiĂ©n hay una yurta segĂşn las disponibilidades. Pedimos una aportaciĂłn de 120 euros para el mes entero o 70 euros para dos semanas para cubrir los gastos de comida. Caso tengan cualquier duda, no hesiten en hacĂ©rnosla saber. Pueden contactarnos a travĂ©s de: bi*************************@***il.com
