EcoVisitors - hard at work

losOlivos guests are hard at work during their ecoworking stay with us. There are several projects on the go, with the restoration of an era (threshing circle) and lots of tree clearing and pruning going on. Here are some of the pictures .. . .

And finally the shepherds are back (last picture), after their winter in the high mountains

Feliz Navidad y un 2012 lleno de bendiciones

Desde Hacienda Los Olivos queremos desearos una muy feliz Navidad y un año nuevo lleno de bendiciones para tod@s.

 
Al acercarnos al final de nuestro primer año abiertos como casa rural y centro de retiros tenemos mucho por lo que dar gracias. 2011 ha sido un año lleno de buenos momentos, pero también con sus retos. El primer reto fue acabar la obra a tiempo para la apertura, el segundo descubrir cómo dirigir la casa y el programa de cursos y retiros para que todos los huéspedes disfrutaran de su experiencia con nosotros. Nos hemos sentido muy bendecidos por el apoyo de nuestra familia y amigos, y por conocer a tanta gente nueva que ha pasado por la casa. Hemos recogido algunos de los momentos más especiales de este año en el documento adjunto (pinchar abajo).

Los mejores momentos 2011

Con cariño desde la Sierra,

Dani y Guy

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for 2012

We wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for 2012.

As we finish our first full season of guests at the hacienda we have much to relect on. It has been quite an exciting time as well as a massive learning curve for us. First, getting all of the building project finished, and then discovering how to actually run losOlivos as a retreat centre and ensuring our guests enjoyed their experience with us. We have been very blessed this year to have met some great people, who whilst relaxing in the Sierra, have also helped us learn more about our calling here. We have captured some of the highlights of the year in the attached document (around 1MB) which we hope you will enjoy.

Reflections on 2011

Greetings from the Sierra,
