Welcome

This is the place where I live and work. It is a house near the hamlet of Navajeda, in Cantabria, Northern Spain.

I decided to settle here after wandering around the world owning my living with different jobs.
My house is surrounded by fields, hills y some forest (but much less than I would like). There are quite a lot a birds, and from time to time, I can see a fox or a roe deer. I feel very well with the silence and stillness of this place. I appreciate like a treasure a calm rythm of life and work. I would like to show in this web site some of the objects I craft with my hands, and the little personal philosophy standing behind my work.
I also offer some workshops and courses if anyone whishes to come to lern, among other things, how to make a pair of custom made moccasins, a persaonal musical instrument, bow and arrows, tanning a hide or how to obtain fire rubbing two sticks. There is a possibility of accomodation at home.

I invite you to have a look and write me if you have any doubt or question.
Thank you.
