The heartbeat of the land on the Camino de Santiago
Welcome to a place where time stops and history comes to life!
We are a farming country house with more than 300 years of history, a refuge that has witnessed the dedication and love for the land of generations. Here, the spirit of our ancestors, who lived off what they harvested and shared their lives with the farm animals, remains more alive than ever. Each stone of this house, every corner of our fields, tells a story of respect for nature and a life in harmony with the surroundings.
Recently, we have merged this rich heritage with the magic of the Camino de Santiago. We feel deeply honored to open our doors and welcome pilgrims and travelers from all over the world. Your stories and your search for a purpose inspire us. It is an honor to share this space with people of a higher consciousness, who seek not only a place to rest but a home where you can connect with the essence of rural life and the unique energy of this ancient path.
In this new stage, we have created a collaborative space where volunteers are the heart of our community. If you feel called to be part of this experience, to care for the animals, to work the land and to share your energy with others, we invite you to join us. Together, we will continue writing the story of this place, keeping its traditions alive and welcoming with open arms those who honor simple living, the connection with nature and the search for authenticity.
Are you ready to become part of our story? We are waiting for you.

There is no balanced exchange here. The tasks are not clear: although I joined for fieldwork and later moved to social media, Rosa insisted on order and cleanliness beyond what was agreed. The emphasis on the cost of supplies (water/electricity) undermines the value of the volunteer work. The treatment ranges from superficial friendliness to passive-aggressive complaints. Not suitable for vegetarians: she cooks meat excessively; she kept an open bag full of meat in the kitchen for three days until I told her it smelled bad and asked to remove it. Look for another option or make sure there are other volunteers.

Thank you for your feedback. We regret that your vision does not match the reality of the project. It is for those who seek a real immersion in rural life. It requires active commitment and empathy. It is demanding, and does not always align with the expectations of those seeking a purely tourist experience. Cleanliness and order are fundamental. We appreciate your time, and we take your comment into account to continue selecting profiles.

First, I want to thank Rosa for giving me this opportunity, since it was my first volunteering experience, and for those of us who are starting, we always have it a little bit harder.
My experience was positive and everything was a learning experience. Rosa is a very sociable person and great company, open and humane. Besides, I also had the company of Link, a great canine companion :-).
The surroundings are magical, the nature, the atmosphere, and the animals.
I spent a few days with Koncep, a charming volunteer who brings lots of laughs!
Thank you for the opportunity, and we will continue growing! Namaste! <3

My first volunteering with Rosa at her guesthouse, the host, was a wonderful and enriching experience in every sense. I want to thank Rosa and Camile for being so extraordinarily genuine. You were an excellent host; thank you for letting me live this experience and for giving me the opportunity to learn about the vineyards, the harvest, and the pruning. I also learned to take care of the chickens and other animals, I collaborated in the hostel's tasks, receiving pilgrims and having the opportunity to meet admirable people. Thank you Rosa, I carry your memory with me. Kisses

Humanity 💖:
Show empathy and compassion toward the people and animals on the farm, and as companions I treat them with love-
Koncep, a girl who does so much. she fries a tie, as she irons an egg-|!
A four-wheel drive in action.
With great flexibility and a strong willingness to do anything, and without any hesitation about anything, it greatly facilitated collaboration with her proactivity.
A real pleasure to have you at home-
We look forward to welcoming you back with open arms.
