Lovely area. Pista is way. Maybe consider turning your marshy area into a pond, it’s an easy way to introduce bio diversity. Stocking it with fresh water fish could be a way to self substance, if you like fish. So much potential, buena sûreté.
Hebben jullie de huisjes verzekerd? Is dat verplicht, of hoef het niet als je geen lening hebt? ( wat betalen jullie per jaar als het wel is verzekerd)
Delightful to see you again kindhearted's ❤️ I'm HELLA amazed by your spirit, spunky as always. I wonder if you were inspired by some of the places you trekked to because before you even mentioned it, I knew you're intending to grow a few plants around and also a guest house like where we met. I just looooove the place, truly startled....away and faaar away from the world's drama. Nature's good but the only tricky part, you will definitely need a powerful signal and potent internet connection if you're planning to work online in the future. Nonetheless, it wouldn't feel much like working in an area as such lol gropes like vacational. I've got two questions, How you found it the first time? How far is it to the nearest town or city? Ale', Werner, don't do it hastily, enjoy the process, just stay tight and serene. Wishing you everything beautiful and a glamorous life ahead 😊
Hey Khalil, thank you so much for your sweet message. We love the place and can't wait to get started with all the works. You're absolutely right that we'll need to set up a lot of things to live there comfortably, but we're happy to slowly build up our lives there in the upcoming years. We knew we wanted to live in Spain and have searched for a really long time to find the right area that gave us a good 'feel'. Over the last 1.5 years we narrowed down our search from a very big area in the north of Spain to this valley and when we knew we wanted to live in this valley, we looked at every piece of land that was available for sale there. When we visited this place we knew instantly that this was the place for us. The nearest village is 15min by car. The village has a couple of bars, a small supermarket and the municipality hall. 20min away is a bigger town and we're 45min away from a city that has everything we need (supermarkets, trainstation, airport etc.). Hopefully we can welcome you there one day. Lots of hugs, Ale and Warner
@@WaleandMe The whole thing is really exciting and more importantly, it is worth it. I mean the spot you've chosen, that's gonna be one of your best life decisions ever made. I'm super glad you found what you have been looking for. I'd be lucky to visit you there one day, and of course, still waiting your second visit to Algeria 🇩🇿 so Oran you said right 😊🌹
Undertaking such an ambitious project is brave and inspiring. I can only imagine some of the emotions. My partner and I have been thinking of starting a similar journey in the future and the North of Spain keeps growing on us. We need to explore the regions as you did. Looking forward to the seeing the progress and hear your experiences. ""Poquito a poco" or as you gracefully translated, slowly by slowly 😄
Thank you for the support! And amazing that you’re considering undertaking a similar project yourselves. It’s a lot of work but so fulfilling at the same time 🥰 Hope you find a lovely spot!
You should make some sort of swimming pont in the first field. Amfibiens and you could both use it to swim. And in the summer it could be a great extra water sourch. Plus there are some amazing herbs that like wet feet
That's a great idea! Thank you! We have already planned for a pond on the other side of our land, but having another one (or more) wouldn't be bad. We'll look into it.
You need to treat the brambles with a systemic weedkiller. I know you will have scruples about this but if you do it once you can more easily keep it under control (back plastic sheeting ). Will you need to dig down the ground at the sides to create a damp-proof at internal ground level?
So no mains electricity, no mains sewage, no fixed line internet, no mains water supply. You seem to have plenty of water but personally I’d feel miss not having mains electric even if just as a back up to solar. I’d convert a building into a workshop large enough to double up as a garage to protect a vehicle from the elements. Good luck, you have the positive attitude that’s needed
I hope you realize what you are taking on, its nice to dream but you will come upon so many rules and regulations its not real, conservationists, though good for some things are making things hell in rural Spain, I wanted to put bigger windows in mine but was not allowed, 30 years on I'm still not completely finished, you need to rest regularly or you will burn yourself out like I did. I'm in Galicia, just along the road to the west. It will cost a fortune for not just the paperwork not to mention the registered aquatics and builders. Mine has cost me over double what a completely new house would have cost and I'm still paying at 66. Just for your information I was shown documentation to prove why the trees were cut down all over northern Spain and it was to help build the Spanish armada
Yes, and as time passes we are becoming even more realistic with our expectations. But we're choosing to see this as a project for life and focusing on the journey more than the destination. Hopefully that makes it all worth it ☺
The forests in the valley of the Miera River were cut down to make charcoal, as well as being used to build ships. The charcoal was used in the royal cannon factory located in the villages of Lierganes and La Cavada. The factory was created by the Belgian Jean Curtius.

It will keep you very busy for many many years. What a fun project . I look forward to watching the progress. ❤❤
Thank you for joining us on the journey!
Your English is excellent - especially the lady’s who also clearly speaks good Spanish. Wow!
You are great people! And you have wonderful plans!
Dankjewel voor alle informatie! Ik wilde dit ook doen maar nu zie ik er toch maar vanaf.. Ben benieuwd hoe het gaat worden! ❤
Hebben jullie de huisjes verzekerd? Is dat verplicht, of hoef het niet als je geen lening hebt? ( wat betalen jullie per jaar als het wel is verzekerd)
Mucho ánimo y fuerza soy de Barcelona y hace poco me compre una cuadra en Asturias y pronto empezaré a reformar mucho esfuerzo pero merecerá la pena😊
Enhorabuena y suerte! Seguro que merece la pena ☺
I know this is the first video of many in a series, but I'm already so stoked about the entire journey! No doubt it will be great, best of luck!
Thank you!! It will be a long journey, but we're excited for what is to come 😃
Congratulations on your new home. Looking forward to seeing this beautiful place come to life again.
Delightful to see you again kindhearted's ❤️

I've got two questions,
How you found it the first time?
How far is it to the nearest town or city?
Ale', Werner, don't do it hastily, enjoy the process, just stay tight and serene. Wishing you everything beautiful and a glamorous life ahead 😊
Oh and by "pista" I think you meant to say track, trail, or maybe path.

So happy for you 👏♥️ 🎉Excited to follow the journey along! Also, noting that Warner finally got his forest 😆🌳
🥰 Yes! And hopefully it'll grow to be a much bigger forest in the future. Thanks for the love ❤

Very happy for you guys I wish you luck and strength lots of work to be done
Thank you! We need it 💪😄
Great project; hope you have deep pockets.
Haha no deep pocket here.. just a lot of patience and being a bit delusional perhaps 😅
Happy for you
Thank you!!

Thank you! We do have a connection to electricity thankfully, and the fixed line internet has just been brought to our area, so all is not lost haha
❤❤❤
Wool is great insolation for walls and floors but it needs to be treated for bugs
you have a lot of land,you can plant many vegetables
what was the price? nice buildings
Thank you. We'll probably break down the cost in a video someday in the future.
you are beautiful 🧿🧿🧿
