We have already been living and developing our project in this rural environment for 4 years, and during this time we have had the opportunity to share our way of life with different volunteers.
Currently we have decided to greatly reduce the number of people we welcome. At the moment we are looking for a single person who can integrate into our day-to-day life and mainly help us with animal care and some maintenance tasks around the farm and the house.
Here we live with our animals: about 10 chickens, 2 goats, 2 dogs and 2 cats 🐓🐐🐕🐈.
The tasks may include:
- Care and feeding of the animals.
- Keeping the areas of the house and surroundings clean and tidy.
- Fruit picking and basic care of the fruit trees.
- Going to collect water at the Fuente del Pino, from where we obtain the water we drink.
- Occasional small DIY or maintenance tasks.
- At times when we have to be away to attend an event, help us by staying at home and looking after the animals.
We are not looking for someone who simply comes to “put in a few hours,” but for a responsible, autonomous person who loves animals and life in nature, who can feel comfortable participating in our day-to-day life.
We seek a calm and respectful convivencia, and we especially value people with initiative, common sense and the ability to adapt to rural life.
Important: at the moment we welcome only one person and we do not accept couples. We are surrounded by nature and many interesting places to visit. About a 30-minute drive away there are places such as the Charcos de Quesa, los Chorradores and Playamonte, among others. We can facilitate mobility so you can get to know and enjoy these places.
There are also nearby hiking routes that can be accessed without a vehicle.
In the area there are also other projects that receive volunteers, so there is the possibility to meet other people who are volunteering and share time and experiences with them.
🏡 Hours and what we offer:
The collaboration would be about 4-5 hours per day, from Monday to Friday.
If some weekend we need help because we have to go out, we can exchange those days for other days off during the week, agreed in advance.
In return we offer private accommodation in a caravan and all meals.
We eat everything and meals are prepared together, so we are looking for people whose eating habits are compatible with ours. At the moment we cannot host volunteers following a specific vegetarian or vegan diet.
The caravan will be your private space, while the rest of life and the meals are shared with us.

I am a very service-oriented person; I am a holistic therapist, as is my partner. We love meeting and sharing with other people; our project is open to those who want to progress in life, just as many people who are seeking that autonomy.
