El Molino is a laboratory where you will experience and learn about yourself, other and Life in general.
This includes everything from learning about rural life and its challenges, to living together and its difficulties, as we live and work together with very diverse people from different environments and backgrounds. We are a project based on a Cooperative model to manage the place and protect it. The process of joining takes time to get to know each other. Before you consider coming here, in whatever format, there are many previous steps to take. We are not in a hurry and we hope you are not either. Here we tell you a few things...
LANGUAGE
The project has been changing from fully english speaking to only Spanish to Spanglish. We are very fluid community and the amount of english spoken in our day to day life will fully depend on the people on each moment. Most of the permanent inhabitants are bilingual. If you come with at least with a basic level of Spanish you will be able to improve it and will have a better experience. We can not guarantee a full translation of the emotional circles.
