Palpung Sera Nevada
Because you like nature and a bit of isolation, and being in a privileged place in a modern world. Very good and healthy food with our own products or those of a friend in the valley. We do not provide WIFI, but you can access data via the mobile network.
We do not allow smokers.
As part of the family. We work together, and since we are older we do not do exhausting jobs. We also work with daily schedules and according to the season. That is why there is a lot of variety. But feeding the animals is essential.

Unfortunately this was a very poor experience. It had its pros, but the cons were too extreme. Starting from the pros, the place is amazing and the views are astonishing. The food is fresh and natural. The animals are lovely. You learn a lot. The cons are anything else. The hosts are passive aggressive and very strict and rigid with arbitrary rules, like being unable to eat until we all start to eat (you'll eat cold most of the time). The tasks are not the agreed upon, you'll have to help with the cooking and cleaning, even with guests. The hours are close to 40 not 25.

Experience with ups and downs. At first, everything was fine: the hosts were friendly and I enjoyed the tasks as I learned. But later, they became more demanding, arguing and in a bad mood instead of communicating kindly, creating an unequal relationship where we had to endure their bad manners, and generating an uncomfortable situation (sometimes they were pleasant, sometimes they were rude). Moreover, the actual hours we put in were considerably higher than the 25 hours indicated in the post. I arrived eager to learn and work, but all of this wore me down until I lost my motivation.

It was a few unforgettable weeks in a very beautiful place, with very varied tasks and very interesting local people. This experience allowed me to calm my mind while working and discovering the Sierra Nevada and life (super) rural. Everything is very comfortable, we eat very well and they offer us different activities during our free time. Thank you very much to both of you; it was a pleasure meeting you and I will return in the future ;) .

Lo que más me llevo conmigo de esta experiencia es todo lo que he aprendido, se aprende mucho en poco tiempo. También lo bonito que es Sierra la reserva y la comida muy rica, prácticamente toda viene del huerto. Por otro lado es interesante el vivir un estilo de vida rústico, fuera de la ciudad y de los pueblos ya que te muestra tanto lo agradable que es vivir en la naturaleza cambio tus preocupaciones de vida tanto lo difícil que puede ser vivir a veces en el campo. Lo recomiendo mucho a gente que quiere aprender tanto la gente que quiere desconectar de la vida urbana

It was an interesting experience. 😊👍👏 The place is amazing, as are the animals. 🐶🐱🐴 The work is easy, and you do it together as a team, which is nice. 🤝❤️🩹 There was only one thing that wasn't so nice, and I have to mention it.I came to the place to get in touch with nature in exchange for work, and I was always nice to the hosts and did everything they ever asked me to.But at one point, a host started to talk to me in a very rude manner, explaining in me not being actually friendly with them and their guests, considering that they spoke Spanish between each other i did my best..
