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

I could mention several things that I found unacceptable, but I will highlight only two. It turns out I injured my back while tending their olive trees and fruit trees. I had to go to a physiotherapist. I told them about my situation, and they didn't pay attention to what was happening to me. This situation created a fairly unpleasant atmosphere of tension that needed to be clarified, because I say they are not malicious. The second thing is that, given the tense situation, there was no moment for us to talk about how we were each and to be able to resolve this misunderstanding.
I'm sad that this experience ended this way.

Hi Javi, it hurts us to read this. We talked about your injury for a while when you came back from a weekend away and you told us you were in pain. We told you to take the rest days you needed; we always say that taking care of yourself comes first. If you remember, you were chopping wood without taking care of yourself, without anyone asking you to. Since this happened, you have stayed for a month; we are surprised that you have stayed so long not feeling comfortable, just as we are surprised by this comment.

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 is a total sweetheart. Yes, we would have loved to spend more time with her; that said, it has been wonderful. When she wrote to us, everything was full and we talked about the possibility of her coming with her tent, and she did. She camped on the property, using the guest house for the bathroom and the kitchen, and she was very comfortable. She has helped with many different things and has brought joy to the volunteer team and to us!

César is great, he is a wonderful person, very positive and energetic. His presence is fun and he gives one hundred percent to whatever he does. He has helped us by building a materials shed and he knows how to handle work tools very well. He has met local people and has also enjoyed the city of Granada, which is very close here; he has been able to practice other languages and share Spanish with people from other nationalities. He is a person with commitment and leadership!
