Coucher de soleil à Flores de Vida

The place

A beautiful, wild and preserved place

6 hectares of olive trees, almond trees and fig trees – so generous – in the middle of nature, surrounded by more than 20 hectares of wild hills with scents of pine and rosemary… assured tranquility. No electrical wires, streetlights, fences, or any noise or visual pollution. Beautiful rocks seem to be watching over the site. Nature is there, immense and inviting.

• A beautiful vegetable garden, which grows year after year
• A mini greenhouse for seedlings and fragile plants (in winter)
• A natural swimming pool (occupied by frogs), which also serves as a water reserve.

Outbuildings and various spaces
• La Crudine, made of straw and earth, as a small common room.

• A solar dryer
• Two tool sheds in the vegetable garden (with lots of tools)
• A nice little workshop and storage areas

Currently under construction
• A 30m² cellar, completely underground, which will therefore be cooler than the existing cellar.
• A large 100m² greenhouse to house the orange grove (the climate here is a little too harsh for growing orange trees in open fields).
• A 30m² glass/aluminum greenhouse for the vegetable garden, which will make it easier to grow vegetables all year round.

Planned
• A drinking water storage tank of at least 30m²
• An apiary (mainly for pollination)
• Improvements to the camping areas (water/electricity)

What is the weather like?

Flores de Vida is located at an altitude of approximately 280 m and has a semi-continental climate. We are separated from the coastal climate by the small mountain range “Els Ports,” which rises to 1,000 m (high enough to keep us from having a Mediterranean climate).
