Salamandra

It's a magical place 🌅.
Carboneras features Cabo de Gata, a natural jewel full of coves, pristine beaches, water sports, horseback riding routes, and spectacular trails.
Here you can enjoy the peace and serenity of nature, breathe clean air and connect with yourself. We are only an hour away from Almería, with good bus connections (Alsa from Madrid), train and airport.

There are also beautiful places in the mountains, perfect to explore and enjoy the small moments of daily life, letting the calm and beauty of this environment envelop you 🌿✨.

My name is Almudena. I am the mother of two children and I live accompanied by my 30-year-old son, who has special needs and who is my angel 💛. I am a life coach, NLP trainer, trained in Emotional Intelligence, and I am also a yoga instructor and caregiver. I personally manage my house and the spaces of gardens and housing, since I do not have a work team: I am at the head of the project together with my family. That is why the help of volunteers is so important to me. Their collaboration in daily tasks allows me to keep taking care of the home, my son and the common areas. I deeply believe in humane and close treatment, and the volunteer people will always be received and treated with respect, affection and trust, with clear roles and direct support from me.

I make sure that coexistence is sincere and kind, without harmful attitudes, and that empathy, mutual help and good energy prevail 🌸. I feel an honest gratitude for those who have passed through here, for those who are here and for those who will arrive, because together we are learning day by day.

I have only words of gratitude for this experience. Almudena is an incredible person, very kind and always attentive to what you may need. Her food, besides being delicious, is very good and hearty. The space where you stay is very cozy and you have everything you need. The tasks are simple and, if you have any questions, Almudena is always there to help you. The town and the beaches are beautiful and you have quite a bit of free time to enjoy them. I take away very good memories from this experience.

Well, what can I say about the hosts—be it Almudena, Rafa, or Carlos—their treatment was friendly, which already makes you feel good from the start. As for the exchange, the housing is excellent, the food is very tasty, the work is easy and is done in fewer hours than planned, and the only thing you have to watch out for a bit is the sun when working outdoors. On top of that, Carboneras is a very quiet place with good beaches and very enjoyable. If you can go, check it out; I hope to return. GRATEFUL!

The experience was unbeatable from the very first moment, the welcome after a long trip — 10/10.
Excellent communication whenever there was something to improve.
In a month I found a family, Almudena at the helm of it all, but her husband and son helped make the moments unforgettable.
Loving, good people and companions.
Spaces to chat, laughter, and memories that I will carry with me forever from my first experience.
Just grateful to have crossed paths.

A truly beautiful and unforgettable experience. From the very first moment, Almaduena was always attentive to me and to how I felt, making me feel supported and loved at all times. Thanks to her I was able to learn a lot, not only about work and culture, but also about human warmth. Although I was very far from home, she and her family managed to make me feel at home. They gave me a lot of affection and very special moments that I will carry with me in my heart always.
Aaa, and not least, their meals are incredibly delicious.
