Smala Ecovillage Communities

The purpose of la Smala is to facilitate the development of projects aimed at reducing the ecological footprint. For this purpose, it undertakes initiatives offering alternatives to overconsumption and overproduction. In particular, it organizes the management of "vacant" houses, on a provisional basis, within the framework of contracts known as "loans for use", and periodic meetings of reflection on the topic of degrowth.
