Los Albergues

Los Albergues is a rustic place surrounded by nature, just three minutes from the village of Pitres, a very characteristic town in the Alpujarra.

The house is in need of some renovation and improvements. There is a hostel with a kitchen, a dormitory, and a large common room. There is also a large plot of land where I would love to create a garden full of herbs and flowers.

The toilets are outside. The place is rustic and does not have many modern comforts, but it has a lot of character.
Why volunteer here?

Come here if you enjoy construction work, gardening, and cooking together as a group.

Regarding food, all diets are welcome except veganism, as it is very difficult to manage in a group setting. We always cook together — no fast food!

What will we work on?

We will be working with wood and building a terrace with closing doors. Hopefully, we will be able to use some of the acacia trees that we have already chopped.

We will also build walls using clay, hay, and lime (cal). I have never done this before, so I am very curious to see how it works!
How to get here

To come to Pitres, take the Alsa bus from Granada towards Trevélez and get off at Empalme de Pitres.

From there, it is about a 7-minute walk to Los Albergues.

There are three buses a day on the Granada–Trevélez route, running from the morning until the late afternoon.
