Quinta life - build, garden, enjoy!
The experience
Feel welco:)
- to help us out with every day tasks depending on the season such as watering and maintaining a veggie garden, pruning, harvesting wine and olives, taking care of fruit trees...
- to build some cool stuff! Like improving our half-outdoor kitchen set in an old stone ruin, or set roofs over our caravans, or build a new compost system.
- to continue our fire prevention actions around the quinta which means clearing & cutting bushes.

Program Details
Upon your arrival and depending on the season and the current to-do's we decide together what your schedule will look like.
It can be a simple 3-4hours morning shift after breakfast 5 times a week and afternoons off, or it might look more flexible. Mostly it's weather depending.
We provide food and share the cooking and dishes, but there is also the option for you to use a separate simple outdoor kitchen. Mostly though it's "feel at home, join the cooking or take it over, help yourself to snacks and coffee" kind of thing ;)
Activities & Shift
We work with the seasons, so timing and activities vary over the course of the year.
Most building happens more in cooler months, working hours in the summer can be early morning and or evenings, wine and olive harvest in the autumn when they are ready...
Rules
We ask to be respectful of the space, the nature and the children.
