La Loma Viva - The Living Hill - is a non-profit Foundation and 15 hectare farm on the coast of Granada, southern Spain. We are located on the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, overlooking the Mediterranean sea.
Since 2009 we have been researching and implementing various agro-ecological strategies, to find solutions for degraded Mediterranean landscapes.
Permaculture Design was applied to the planning and layout of the farm - including renewable energy, water harvesting systems and energy efficient buildings.
La Loma Viva has been running educational programmes since 2012 and has hosted many leading practitioners and international teachers in the field of permaculture and regenerative agriculture.
Our current focus is researching and developing Syntropic Farming in a Mediterranean context - with the aim of facilitating ecosystem regeneration through agriculture.
We hold courses in permaculture, syntropic farming and related topics.
We offer consultation, landscaping and other services.
La Loma Viva is also a Retreat Centre, which is available to hire for workshops, classes and fully catered residential retreats.
