The Experience

Durante aproximadamente 3 días tenemos que recoger a mano las aceitunas de 160 olivos para conseguir 300kg, cantidad mínima requerida para elaborar nuestro propio aceite. Es un objetivo fácil, una persona puede recolectar fácilmente 50 kg (2 cajones) en un día. Es importante que no pasen muchos días para que el fruto no pierda propiedades. Es una actividad entretenida y desafiante.

Sadly this experience wasn't for me. I found the conditions very hard, the place is very remote, there are no running water, there isn't a proper shower, there is a dry toilet but I was told its better if I don't use it, electricity is limited, you'll be lucky to get a stable cell service in a walking distance and there is very little privacy. The work was hard but I was met with consideration and got easier tasks. At times the atmosphere felt strange and uncomfortable mostly due to lacking communication. Rafael is a kind man with good intentions and I wish him good luck with his project.

Rafael es una persona amable y abierta que te recibe muy bien y trata de que te encuentres lo mejor posible.Hace bien de cocinar y te ayuda a organizarte por ti mismo en las demás tareas,te incita a aprender por ti mismo siempre con su apoyo por si no sabes hacer algo.En cuanto al trabajo,"ayuda",él la verdad es que es una persona muy trabajadora y da ejemplo a los demás con ello;en este sentido a mi me costó,porque bajo mi experiencia los trabajos que se hacen allí tienden a ser monótonos y lineales,situación en la que no me encuentro de la mejor manera.Allí prima el silencio y la paz

Rafael es una persona muy amable y respetuoso, tienes muchos tiempo libre y las tareas son sencillas se acomodan a lo que sabes o puedas,la alimentación que brinda es respetuosa y Ayurveda, pero tienes una despensa y cocina para que hagas lo que gustes tu, lo que si, aún no hay baño tienes que ir por la naturaleza, pero pronto estará listo, un abrazo siempre y una linda experiencia ☀️

Mi experiencia con Rafael fue buena y diferente. Es un lugar muy tranquilo, rodeado de naturaleza y paisajes bonitos. Si tienes suerte de quedarte en la cabaña, tendrás un espacio muy privado y cómodo. Siempre hay alguna tarea por hacer y, aunque Rafa no es muy comunicativo, puedes preguntarle por otras actividades. La comida es principalmente vegana. El pueblo más cercano está a 14 km, aunque hay una bicicleta disponible. El baño y la ducha requieren adaptación, ya que la experiencia es realmente cercana a la naturaleza.
