El Toral Ecofarm Asturias El Toral is an ever-evolving Eco-farm in Asturias, Spain set up in 2011 to grow, eat, build and enjoy living a low impact high quality life.

We arrived in Asturias March 2nd 2011 from the UK with our daughter looking for a place where we could live simply and pursue our dreams. We found 'El Toral' and here we are, creating a smallholding from scratch, surrounded by spectacular mountains, forests, rivers and coast. We live off-grid on the land, grow vegetables, raise animals and provide a little eco-retreat for adventurous folk who want stay a while. Of course, the simple life isn't that simple: between learning and practicing a thousand and one new skills (animal husbandry, crop management, solar systems, straw bale construction, securing a natural water supply... the list goes on) life can be very complicated at times but overall, they're complications we enjoy and have chosen. Before we set sail for Spain we had envisaged setting up an 'eco Campsite' but it didn't take long to realise that with our resources and the rigid requirements for campsites in Asturias we would struggle. However, running private educational courses with accommodation included is less restricted. So under the mantle of 'Residential Educational Courses', we invite visitors to come and stay with us at El Toral and share in our off-grid eco farm experience, learning and sharing knowledge during their time with us. There are 3 basic 'courses' offered each with it's own unique accommodation:

• The Mongolian Yurt
• The Caravan
• The Cabana

Each course begins the moment you arrive and ends when you leave, rather than formal, rigid taught courses we like to think our holistic approach of letting you live the course is more appropriate within our setting. It also allows visitors to do what they want when they want - a bit like being on holiday! That said, we welcome post prandial ruminations on all sorts of topics, key concepts being: low-impact living, conservation, sustainability, permaculture, living the 'good life'. Discussion topics could include titles such as: 'The High Art of the Pig Bucket', 'Making the Most of your Rubble Pile', 'A Blow by Blow Contemplation of Life Without a Hair Dryer'. Visitors can of course discuss any aspect of what we do on the farm.

Hello all.
I see a lot of people looking for short term rentals to use as a base while they look for something more permanent or visit friends and family; to work online for the winter, or just to relax and enjoy Asturias.

We are looking to rent out our off-grid "Cosy Coco Cabaña" for the months of November, December 2026 and January and February 2027

Our farm is self aufficient in electricty and water so It´s a great way to experience off grid living and to enjoy a calm and quiet environment surrounded by nature. We´re in a rural setting (Cabranes) but pretty well located to reach the motorway, the cities, the beaches and transport links.. However, you would need a car if you wanted to travel around a lot.

Normally we rent our Cosy Coco Cabaña via Airbnb so you can check out the link: airbnb.co.uk/h/cosycococabana
to see photos, read reviews etc.
We also have a website where you find out more about us: eltoralecofarm.es

If you´re interested please contact us privately through FB or through our website.

If you book for just 1 month the price would be 250€ per week. If you book for 2 months the price would be 215€ per week. All bills are included so there are no hidden extra costs. We are open to shorter stays but nothing less than 1 week (the price would be adjusted in this case)

Look forward to hearing from you.

For the third year running, the neighbours of Pandenes, our beautiful little village, participated in the 'Concurso de Fuentes Enramadas' (Well Dressing Competition).

It's an ancient tradition and certainly not unique to Spain. Water, the source of life, is celebrated in all cultures in some form or other.
Asturias is blessed with an abundance of water and thousands of natural springs so we have a lot to celebrate 🥳

Since the reanimation of our "Association of Amigos of Pandenes" (Asociación de los Amigos de Pandenes) we're usually working on some kind of project to promote community, learning and fun.

Viva Pandenes!
