Hola everyone!
My partner and I moved to Asturias last year from Appalachia in the US and are loving it. I just got to wondering if there were any other Permies pals in the area, if so I'd love to connect! We're saving up to try our hands at either building up a community with friends or at least start a little farm of our own again and would enjoy chatting with other folx in the area :)
Cheers!

Hi Ashley,
welcome to Spain! Asturias is breathtaking. My american partner an I met there and absolutely love it, but we ended up living all the way in the south.

I know of the project "El Mandala", close to you guys. They give tons of workshops etc. Also an annual meeting to network in September I think. Check them out, they're nice. https://elmandala.es/

Also we have some other friends that communally bought a big plot of land in the north.
Their project is online at https://proyectotortuga.org/

Also we know another couple of friends that bought a hotel. I asked for their info and their permission to forward it to you.

If you ever make it to the south feel free to PM me and if you want you can come visit.

Hi! Welcome to North Spain. I don't understand clearly if you want to stay in Asturias. We are looking for people for an intentional rural community in Zigoitia, Basque Country. If you are interested or need help, you can ask us. Our project: https://toptopbio.com/bioketa/#intro

Hey Benjamin! That's awesome, I actually grew up in the South and landed here wanting a bit less heat jaja. Thanks so much for the links, I will check both of these out! I still have some family down in Andalucia so we'll be back that way at some point for sure, I'll definitely reach out when we do!
