Join us as we restore an old farmhouse and land in the mountains of Southern Spain, creating a home, a place to share with others and learning to live sustainably off the land. Near Oria in Almeria the driest region of Europe it will have challenges.
This week Amanda is helped by Derek to make the electricity safe, there’s some cleaning up outside, a tour of the spring flower at the rental property and the Calima hits Southern Spain stopping work and creating dramatic skies.

Wow, that sky was really orange. It really looked like the world was going to end. Luckily it wasn't, but that sand is horrible. Although I am used to sand and dust. I live in Togo West Africa and I hate dusting and sweeping every day. Good video.
Making good progress! The orange flowers at 11:58-ish are calendula. I use mine to make skin balms, but it has a host of other medicinal uses, including as an antiviral. Speaking of orange, the calima was really something — we had almost as much sand as you even though we’re several hundred km to your north, and I saw that it extended at least as far north as Holland.
The orange flower is marigold or calendula and edible and useful.The second plant ia wallflower or erysimim. Save the seed for both after flowering.
Hi Amanda!
I really enjoy your videos! You're doing really well! Keep going!
Mucho ánimo! Realmente un gran trabajo! Saludos!
What a fantastic vlog Amanda, I've just binge watched everything so far and cannot wait for you to upload the next one. I don't visit YouTube very often but having followed your adventures on Instagram since 2015, Apollo, Aslan, Helping Hands Rhodes, coffee and cake 😊
I wanted to support you here too. I'm so glad I did, you're smashing it.
My true love will always be Rhodes but Spain through your eyes , is looking beautiful and interesting.
Congratulations and the best of luck for your new, exciting adventure and thankyou for taking us along.
I’m so enjoying your channel! It is a good to be here at the start!
Marigolds & Wall flowers
When I lived near The Straits of Gibraltar, and Africa was only 10 miles away, my terrace, windows and car were frequently covered by calima. A never ending chore!
