About us

The Tanquián Tribe!

The Tanquián Tribe!

We are a international family-friend community living in the green lands of Galicia.

We live off the land, work hand in hand with permaculture, and with our lovely animals, Django and Ima the donkeys, some chickens and cats. In Tanquián we speak English, Spanish, German, Gallego, some Danish.

At the beginning of our story, 1993, Emmely Föhring and Paul Baker moved to this land with the idea of creating a sustainable future in harmony with nature for their children and other like-minded people.

Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.

– Lao Tzu

Over the years, various families have come to live and collaborate on the farm and the dinamics of the place have shifted with every new person and new energy involved.

At this present moment, we don´t have any families staying with us, but many volunteers and friends that come through every year, helping us keep the dream alive. Now, the second generation is becoming more involved with this permaculture paradise and it´s evolution. Currently, we are open  to accept new collaborators! Read more in JOIN IN
