By working hand-in-hand with Finca La Gloria's team, you will be able to fulfil your CAS requirements whilst engaging with some of the environmental challenges we face today and learn ways to overcome these. This experience will be a win-win opportunity and promises to build the skill set, values and attitudes that will enable you to contribute to a more respectful, sustainable and peaceful world!

WHO ARE WE WORKING WITH? Finca la Gloria is a permaculture farm located only 30 minutes away from Sotogrande, close to Jimena de la Frontera.
This natural haven is the result of transforming a traditional Andalusian farm into a respectful interpretation of a modern rural lifestyle, where learning about methods of restoring our soil and the cultivation of sustainable crops cohabit in harmony with the personal contemplation of art and inner growth. “Permaculture is a philosophy of working with, rather than against nature; of protracted and thoughtful observation rather than protracted and thoughtless labor; and of looking at plants and animals in all their functions, rather than treating any area as a single product system�. Bill Mollison
