Caserío Montehermoso

Caserío Montehermoso is a sustainable project

This familiar hamlet has been rehabilitated carefully following the bioconstruction criteria. The heating system is based on biomass and the water is heated with wood from the sustainable forests. All the appliances are efficient and LED lights are used. The apartments amenities are ecologic and vegan. The entire resort is guided by the reduction of waste and recycling. Each apartment has a compost bucket and they teach how to make it to the guests that want to learn. The compost is later used in their garden and their organic orchard. For cleaning the complex, they use natural and ecologic products without harmful chemicals. They disseminate the cultural value of their village with guided tours that a neighbor offers to make, being an expert in archeology and ancient history. They contribute to promoting the touristic values of the valley and the Basque country, including its gastronomic offer. They hire providers that live close by, generating employments with decent conditions and they seek alliances with other entrepreneurs with social and environmental values similar to theirs. Also, they promote the environmental awareness among the young ones with a diploma for the sustainable voyager, which they award to those who fulfill the requirements designed for this cause, such as no throwing trash on the mountain or even picking up the wastes found in the environment.
