Ethics

In a world that travels at breakneck speed, where landscapes appear as pixels on screens, where we don't really know where the food on our plates comes from, where we forget that there is earth beneath our feet and that silence is a treasure...

La Mandorla is a small oasis of calm and authenticity where you can reconnect and experience the flavors of reality.

The world is seen and observed, live, without filters: the changing colors of the cliffs, the whisper of the leaves, the light on the vine leaves, the birds at dawn...

The buildings are lightweight, have little impact on the environment, and barely isolate us from the world around us. Nature reminds us daily of our fragile condition. Everything feels stronger: the wind, the sun, the cold, the rain...

The mind remains awake and alert.

Feeding

Nutrition for body, palate and soul

Here, bread is made weekly with patience, respect, and organic flour.

We harvest vegetables from the garden, eggs from the hens, milk from the goats that graze freely, and meat from our chickens and ducks. We drink water from the well, which is pumped daily using solar energy.

Self-sufficiency

The daily work of the land and animals, hard and sometimes repetitive, makes us humble, patient and grateful.
La Mandorla is equipped with facilities that aim to achieve the greatest possible autonomy (barn, vegetable garden, solar panels, rainwater harvesting system...) in order to try to move away from a flawed economic model, where transporting a product is often more expensive than the product itself.

Collaborations

The actions of one person are like a drop of water in the ocean. But if we unite, a spring or a river can emerge…

La Mandorla has always been active in land management. We work in cooperation with the Montsant Natural Park to offer environmental education workshops and organize work camps for teenagers.

We are part of the permanent forum of the CETS (European Charter for Sustainable Tourism) to reflect, with all the actors in the territory, on the tourism we want for Priorat: respectful, sustainable, aware of the heritage, natural and landscape values ​​of the region.

We have always been committed to building a local support network and valuing the exchange of ideas and pioneering approaches to alternative lifestyles. We collaborate with other organizations and associations in the area (Taxus Association, Entrecamins, etc.).

This is a place that "nourishes as such", where children learn to play with stones, earth and tree branches, where the need to consume gradually fades away, giving way to the simple happiness of "being there".

La Mandorla is concerned with weaving a local support network and with giving value to exchange (services, organic social currency) and to pioneering ideas of alternative lifestyles.
