We are Johan and Monique vd Coolwijk. Living at the moment in the Netherlands, but stay regularly at our house in Spain, which we bought in 2000 as ruin. On the way, we have transformed the house into our palace with the help of many friends and family. In 2015 we got the opportunity to buy the house of the '' neighbors '' (2km away). We took this opportunity with both hands. Due to the fact that we ever want to make the switch to Spain. And then we have A to do something and B a bit of income too. We strive to make it as green as possible by means of wind and solar energy. The solar energy that we store in batteries, only for cooking and hot water, we are still dependent on gas for the time being. We also supply the house with our own spring water. This is about us and what we have in mind. We hope to greet you at our house.

Wonderful restful holiday! If we had known the condition of the unpaved access road, we would have rented an SUV or jeep. Then we might have made more trips. . But all in all it went well.
