Alcoy

"nature protects you, protect the nature back"
Wake up early and went with Jahlilah to get wood in the mountain, El Potro tries to be a self-sustainable project, has some solar energy (and a mini-wind generator for soon), lots of vegetables planted, fresh water and wood from the mountain around...
Dry toilet with a nice view :D
At noon I walk with Jahlilah to the center, we went to a juggling workshop where i learned to cycle a monocycle (only few meters and after a hour of training :p..) with a 13 years old kid...

After we met Sandra and went to visit CSO Cals Flares in risk of eviction, they have a really nice library and a great space...

We had dinner and then went to CSO El Molinar for some punk/ska concerts...

I got out around midday after saying goodbye to such special place...
Cycled all day and around 16:00 I noticed i forgot my jacket behind... as i have time and it's a really got jacket I decided to return and arrived back in El Potro really in the night...
I think it was nice to return and will stay here some more days :D as there will be a party in the Squatted Social Center El Molinar

Alcoy

Crazy day! Getting to know Maset del Potro :D

We woke up early to take care of the animals. There is a really beautiful donkey and some chickens of a local specie almost extinct (as someone told me...eheh),
After we packed the bread and brought it down to the car and Jordi spreed them in the city :p.. normally, Candela, the donkey, helps to bring the bread from El Potro to the car, this time was not needed (other 4 monkeys did it :p...)
I washed all the dishes and bread material and then Marta, Jahlilah and me stayed in the house talking and relaxing...
Roget e baqueta :)
vultures in the sky
i després del petroli què?
At noon I join an incredible party in Pablo's House, a house near (300 m) to el potro, also with not much access... there we had a tribal carnival ritual to celebrate lent... really nice night to get to know a little bit my inside and dream... we were 10 and i barely knew them, but the night was really special, we played instruments all night, sing and had fun... In the end I decided to lent tobacco...no smoking for 42 days (the moon cycle, this carnival was new moon and the cleanse finish in two full moons)

Elche -> Alcoy

I got out early to find the green path to Alcoy... there were no signs and I got in strange paths lots of time... Any way the path was really beautiful and i arrived in Alcoy around 18:00.
how caterpillars walk the street?
I met Marta there and we walked (carrying the bicycle) to El Potro, a project in Barranc del Cint a small path between two mountains, no car access (by trecking bike is also REALLY hard to get there).

Arriving there was like entering in a fairy tale, lots of nature and a beautiful old house with water...

Every week in El Potro they produce organic traditionally made whole bread and I arrived in the middle of the process, still helped to put them in the oven... really nice experience to share with Marta, Jordi, Jahlilah and Alfred

Alicante -> Elche

After another night in Alan's house, Marta brought me and Matias back to Elche...

While waiting for Mabel in order to enter the house I stayed in Matias's house watching movies, a great one called Libertarias about the spanish anarchist revolution seen by the women perspective...

Later we went back to the park and I packed my things and made a goodbye dinner in Mabel's house ;)
