Gato en Salamanca

Hello, my name is Manuel and I have a roofless house that needs many hands to recover joy and life, but it has already regained joy thanks to the volunteers who have helped; you will see that I offer few spots and the reason is because where we stay is small and because I enjoy taking care of my people.

Clothing for this volunteer program: trekking/hiking clothes and boots, cap and swimsuit.

LOCATION: to understand the surroundings and enjoy it is VillaVieja de Yeltes (Salamanca) Castilla y León
Salamanca 1 hour
Madrid 3 hours
Portugal 45 minutes

The volunteers' room has two large beds (1.35) for a maximum of 4 people (only if there are two doubles/couples). You must be clear that you may share a room (bed never).

Work Team. There is none, I am alone in the adventure. I organize meals and help is requested to set/clear the table (I say this because there are people who confuse this with a HOTEL and the advances that exist are thanks to the volunteers who stayed in 2022/23. Schedules are followed but honesty is required.

Thanks to everyone

The place for restoration/repair is 15 minutes away, it is done by car and outside the 5 hours, the rest is free. Occasionally free excursions to cities/places of interest in the area (there are two rivers to swim in), pool in the village (summer), 3 meals and an unlocked fridge.

In the photos I have uploaded you can see from where you sleep, there are two large beds. I try to keep the meals varied (including beef 🐄 and chicken 🐔, pasta, 🍕 pizza, salad, 🐷 pork and fish) while respecting all dietary restrictions and options. You will also see that free tours are available (Salamanca, Ciudad Rodrigo, Lumbrales, Yecla de Yeltes, Retortillo, La Alberca, Mogarraz, Balneario, Archaeological Zones) depending on free time and the volunteers' energy.

--Pool invitation on Sundays in summer-- Bicycles available every day
Travel medical insurance. Mandatory

Manuel, o anfitrião, é um homem de caráter e generoso. Seus vizinhos gostam muito dele. Aprendi muita coisa com ele, seus conselhos, sua forma humana de ver o mundo, e sempre que questiona o faz de forma culta e certeira, quase não há como contestar-lo,haha Foi uma experiência incrível, melhorei meu espanhol, tive contato com moradores locais, contato com o projeto de revitalização na fazenda, pessoas super amigáveis e amáveis, o povo de VillaVieja de Yeltes. Algum voltarei, obrigado por tudo Manuel.

Manuel fue super acogedor y respetuoso en todo momento durante el voluntariado. Es súper simpático y te presenta a todos los vecinos del pueblo. La comida siempre estaba rica y nunca falto el desayuno, almuerzo y cena. Manuel siempre trata de variar las tareas de trabajo con tal de que uno no se aburra haciendo lo mismo. En las horas libres, puedes pasear y correr bici por varias rutas en el pueblo. En los fines de semana, Manuel te lleva en excursiones a varios pueblos y te explica sobre la historia de cada uno. Tuve una experiencia muy positiva con Manuel en Pozos de Hinojo!

Queremos agradecer a Manuel por ser parte de nuestra primera experiencia de voluntariado ya que nos ha recibido como en casa, es una persona respetuosa y ha cumplido con todo lo que ofrece, tours, comida, horarios. Hay actitudes que mejorar como cualquier persona. El trabajo fue agradable ya que conectamos desde el día uno, fue un aprendizaje muy importante en nuestras vidas , en cuanto al lugar a pesar de ser un poco alejado es muy tranquilo y agradable. Alcanzamos a conocer personas que tienen historias muy lindas y emotivas, si buscas un lugar tranquilo y seguro puede ser este.

Tive uma experiência muito negativa com este anfitrião. Trabalhava mais que as 5h/d indicadas no perfil, além de tarefas domésticas. O anfitrião era extremante sarcástico comigo e me menosprezava quando eu não entendia o espanhol, além de outras situações negativas que não cabem neste comentário. Por fim, ele me expulsou antes do prazo acordado e sem maiores explicações ou qualquer conversa. Deixando-me desprevenido metade do mês. Não recomendo este anfitrião, pois não valoriza o trabalho dos voluntários, age de forma rude e desrespeitosa.

Tuve la oportunidad de ayudar a Manuel en trabajar en la huerta. Es importante tener en cuenta que este voluntariado requiere de esfuerzo fisico, saber escuchar las instrucciones de las actvidades para optimizar el proceso de acuerdo lo que se tiene planeado y si tienes observaciones para mejorar el proceso Manuel es receptivo. Adicionalmente, Manuel te dedica el tiempo para hacer tours y conocer un poco mas la cultura, la gente del pueblo Villa Vieja de Yeltes son muy amables.

Jose Manuel replied

Erika is the prototype of a volunteer, open to new experiences outside her comfort zone, where doubts and questions arise and where she can offer questions and help. Attentive to explanations and always adding or contributing other points of view, well-educated and a good teammate. Whenever you have her on your team, you’ll make a good hire. Anywhere in the world, or in any language, under any condition or weather, she will do her best to help. Thank you Erika for helping and for your good manners. I’m sorry I didn’t verify you at the time, as a result of the disagreement with Melissa. You deserve 5 stars, and any volunteer colleague you meet will enjoy working with you. Always welcome, or any person you send who is recommended by you
Manuel
