[Strawbale] Re: Query for Spain SB

Hi,

It's probably that there are quite a lot persons who are interested in SB-construction in Spain, but we haven't still achived to get them all together. In Spain (or that's really my impression) internet is not used in every home, so it's difficult to get in touch. There are more " no-spanish" people living in Spain that are interested and get in touch than the Spanish themselves. Another problem is, that our English is not so good as needed...but I'll write you some addresses, perhaps they can give you some information.

Rikki Nitzkin (Living now for 6 years in North-Spain and built just this summer her first SB-house)(Speaks English)
