    Hi everyone!! I present to you the little place where we live, a magical forest of holm oaks, with its rocks of curious shapes and some beautiful sunsets. In the middle of this little forest is our house, made of straw, clay, wood and stone, built by us with all the love and beauty of the artisan.
    Right now we are creating an art project in nature, we have opened a path in the forest which we are going to fill with works of art that represent legends and characters from Extremaduran mythology. There is a lot of art to do, we are looking for people who have artistic skills, such as wood carving, sculpture, painting, pyrography... On the other hand, we are building a building that will be a school of Arts and personal growth.
    We are a family of artists, Dani is a magician, musician and builder, I (Ariadna) am an actress and handle some arts, painting, modeling, sewing... and our children: Lluna is a born humorist, Jara draws incredible and Yohan is a wild adventurer very affectionate.
    We try to live a happy life and the most in accordance with nature. We really like to laugh, music, nature, dance, art...


    Hola a tod@s !! Os presento el lugarcito en el que vivimos, un bosque mágico de encinas, con sus rocas de curiosas formas y unos atardeceres bellísimos. En medio a este bosquecito está nuestra casa, echa de paja, arcilla, madera y piedra, construida por nosotros con todo el cariño y la belleza de lo artesano.
    En estos momentos estamos creando un proyecto de arte en la naturaleza, hemos abierto un sendero en el bosque el cual vamos a llenar de obras de arte que representen leyendas y personajes de la mitología extremeña. Hay mucho arte que hacer, buscamos personas que tengan habilidades artísticas, como talla de madera, escultura, pintura, pirograbado... Por otra parte estamos construyendo un edicficio que será una escuela de Artes y crecimiento personal.
    Somos una familia de artistas, Dani es mago, músico y constructor, yo (Ariadna) soy actriz y manejo algunas artes, pintura, modelado, costura... y nuestros hijos: Lluna es humorista de nacimiento, Jara dibuja increíble y Yohan es un salvaje aventurero muy cariñoso.
    Intentamos vivir una vida alegre y lo más en acorde con la naturaleza. Nos gusta mucho reír, la música, la naturaleza, el baile, el arte ...
