Finca Abogat
A place in nature to relax and find peace.
Plenty of places to be private inside and outside.
We offer free food and house for 5 hours and 5 days per week.
We are a small family and you are living in our house, but you have plenty of private parts. And your private room - normally with private bath.

About the experience in: Barxeta, Spain
United Kingdom
I felt welcomed by the hosts and I'm grateful to them, but the tasks were sexist. I was given the cleaning tasks as the only woman and the guys were given maintenance and painting. Excluding 2 occasions, 3 meals a day meant ingredients to make the meals ourselves, which is an important distinction when you are also working for 5 hours a day. The hosts went on holiday without communicating what tasks they wanted done whilst they were away. They only communicated this with the male volunteers. It felt like I was working to make the hosts' even richer, rather than contributing to a good cause.

The place is beautiful and has a great atmosphere. The hosts are very welcoming and make you feel at home. The work can be physically demanding, especially under the hot Spanish sun, so keep this in mind if coming in summer. For me, it was not a problem. I had a private room with bathroom and AC. I enjoyed riding the bicycle in my free time, although it needs some maintenance. The food is abundant and good quality. Since the owners are foreigners, don't expect a strong Spanish cultural experience. Overall, I had a very good experience and recommend it.

I had a really great volunteer experience here and would highly recommend it. The hosts are incredibly welcoming and make you feel at home from the moment you arrive. They are flexible with working hours, especially during the summer when the weather can get very hot, allowing you to adjust your schedule to suit the conditions. They are genuinely kind, friendly people who care about their volunteers and create a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere. As an added bonus, they have two amazing dogs that make the experience even more memorable. Overall, it was a fantastic place to volunteer, and I'm very

I loved my experience at the finca! The hosts are incredible people, very kind, welcoming and calm. You can feel the love and care they put into the place and their animals every day. The atmosphere is light, surrounded by nature, and I felt very welcome from the very first moment. It was an experience full of learning, genuine connections, and special moments that I will treasure with great affection. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic exchange, contact with nature, and truly wonderful hosts. I already miss Freya a lot ❤️

About the experience in: Barxeta, Spain
Argentina
It was an intense experience, a lot of heavy and lonely work most of the time. it depends on whether you are a man or a woman the work is not equitable, many hours working in the rays of the Valencian sun which is very intense, even in April. the experience would have been better if we had been allowed to work as a team and not everything apart. It is understandable because we were only 4 men and a lot of work to do. However Kjetil and Svetlana were very loving to us and understood us helped what they could. they will be missed. thanks for all the experience and to treat us like we where home
