Permaculture in Spain

Today I was looking for local permaculture projects. Out of curiosity, to read about them and to see what is going on, and - of course - to borrow some ideas. We live in the Basque Country and our local region is Biscay.

Here are some Spanish links that I found useful. All these sites are in Spanish.

• www.permacultura-es.org : This site lists Spanish proyects, news articles and related resources.
• www.redpermacultura.org : Articles with useful hand-on tips and related news.
• institutodepermacultura.pbworks.com : Presents some 20 permaculturists in Spain and their projects.
• tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/PermaculturaIberica : Newsgroup where some 186 Spanish permaculturists chat. There are some 30 entries per month.

In summary, there are dozens of permaculture projects in Spain, but I found very little in Biscay. Malaga and the Canary Islands seem to be popular spots for permaculture. It is motivating to see other people working the land and turning old farms around.
