The Experience

The Sierra Nevada International Arts Festival, known as FAN, is a journey to the heart of Sierra Nevada, where the performing arts serve nature. It creates a space where culture, nature, and community intertwine in a universal language to unite all peoples. FAN is inspired by the strength and creativity of people of all ages in the municipality, promoting the essence of the village of Dílar, home to Finca La Furriola.

The hosts were super ok, but for a week I needed to clean their shit away which wasn't in my interest. So I told them that I want to work in the garden and then I could work in the garden for the last two days. We needed to cook and clean the dishes for them, which was too much expetations in my eyes. It is a beautiful place and you can surely have a OK time.

Communicate with Aline is not always easy, sometimes she is very hard in her way of speaking. For example, in this case he wrote "I needed to clean their shit away" and this can be misinterpreted. Her task was to clean and tidy up the magazine of tools and materials, and in addition she had offered herself for this task. I prefer to gloss over the commentary of cooking and washing dishes. Aline is a nice and intelligent person, if you have patience you can have a Ok experience

Podría comentar varias cosas que no me parecieron aceptables, pero resaltaré solo dos. Resulta que me lesioné la espalda tratando sus olivos y frutales. Tuve que ir al fisioterapeuta. Les comenté mi situación y no le dieron importancia a lo que me pasaba. Esta situación creó un ambiente de tensión bastante desagradable que había que aclararlo, porque yo digo que no tienen maldad. Lo segundo es que, dada la situación de tensión, no hubo un momento para hablar como estábamos cada uno y poder solucionar este malentendido. Me da pena haber acabado asi esta experiencia.

Hola Javi, nos duele mucho leer esto. Estuvimos hablando de tu lesion un buen rato cuando volviste de un fin de semana fuera y nos comentaste que estabas dolorido. Te dijimos que tomara los días de descanso que necesitabas, siempre decimos que lo primero es cuidarse. Si recuerdas, estuviste cortando leña sin cuidarte sin que nadie lo pidiera. Después de este acontecimiento te has quedado un mes, nos sorprende que te quedaste tanto tiempo sin estar a gusto, como nos sorprende este comentario.

Pasé 10 dias a la granja, y me hubiera encantado que fuera 3 meses! El espacio era super lindo, la huerta me impresionó mucho y me hizo muy bien trabajar con la tierra. Los otros voluntarios habian hecho una linda comunidad y me senti integrada directamente! Gracias por la experiencia! A veces no hay que ir tan lejos para viajar! 💛

Caroline es un cielo total, si, nos hubiera encantado poder compartir más tiempo con ella, igualmente ha sido estupendo. Cuando nos escribió estaba todo completo y hablamos de la posibilidad de que se viniera con su tienda de campaña y eso hizo, estuvo acampada en la finca, apoyándose para el baño y la cocina en la casa de huéspedes y estuvo muy agustito. Nos ha ayudado con muchas cosas diversas y ha aportado alegría en el equipo de voluntariado y en nosotros!

César es genial, es una gran persona, muy positivo y enérgico. Su presencia es divertida y se entrega cien por cien a lo que hace. Nos ha ayudado construyendo una caseta para materiales y sabe manejarse muy bien con las herramientas de trabajo. Ha conocido a gente local y ha disfrutado también de la ciudad de Granada, que está aquí muy cerca, ha podido practicar otros idiomas y compartir el español con personas de otras nacionalidades. Es una persona con compromiso y liderazgo!
