Resources in some way related to Permaculture in Spain / Catalunya

First off, a little bit about building regulations etc:

http://calafou.org/ <- connected to cooperative.cat, occupied hacker-space/permaculture/culture center where they work on bitcoin related things, will start working on open source ecology, social currency, etc.


And if anyone is interested in some Spanish modern history, the first thing I would read is George Orwells Homage to Catalunya about his own personal experiences in the Spanish Revolution/Civil War, an absolutely fantastic read. It was these events that inspired him to write Animal Farm and 1984.

If anyone has suggestions I can put them in this list, if not I will update it when I find anything interesting.

Related to Can Masdeu - is Permacultura Barcelona: http://www.permacultura-bcn.org (or isn't it?)

Yes and no, yes in that it involves some of the same people I imagine, no because permaculture-bcn is more a collection of information and news, whereas Can Masdeu is an occupied area turned into a community/permaculture site. (http://www.canmasdeu.net/en/)

I know 100% that it involves some of the same people (my husband did his PDC w. some of them), but no of course Permacultura-bcn is more like a network, where Can Masdeu is a place (where some of them are doing a lot of permaculture).

But Permacultura-bcn has a wide network of PDC teachers, practitioners, architects etc. they are a great recourse.

Does anyone know if there are similar networks elsewhere in Spain/Portugal?

This link here, its in the original post as well, has a collection of information. I am unsure as to how accurate and up to date it is, but it´s something:

It hasn't been updated for at least two years. It is my opinion, that there isn't really an integrated network here in Spain.
BTW there is also a group for Bioconstruction in Catalunya. The have a FB page:

I really really really really really need to finally learn Spanish now. Hah. Or just Catalan as I dont see myself moving away from there to Spain anytime soon.
